Mercury in Cancer

Mercury in Cancer gives you imaginative and associative thinking, even mythopoetic, because Cancer is a Water sign. But precisely for this reason, it may sometimes be a little difficult for you to construct logical chains. For this reason, problems may arise in communication with people who have a pronounced Earth element in their chart, as they are dominated by clear logic and sequential logical connections. Although it is quite difficult for you to show what follows from what, you excellently perceive unmanifested deep associative connections, that is, what has not yet surfaced. Since Mercury here is hosted by the Moon, and the Moon reveals hidden processes, this gives you the ability to perceive the inner connection of things. With such a placement of Mercury, you should have a deep and very tenacious memory, possibly contemplative thinking, definitely a good imagination and dreaminess, sometimes an intellectual taste for uncovering any mysteries, especially those of the past. As a rule, you are distinguished by a pronounced desire to find the roots of any idea and the origins of its appearance, because your mind is very attached to the past. It may be important for you to know the source of incoming information. Usually, you are oriented towards authorities and traditions, and if even the most absurd idea was expressed by an authoritative person or read in a reputable book, you will most likely accept this idea. In this case, you will try to adapt your intellectual systems and approaches to fit the idea. As a rule, you pay great attention to information specifically from authoritative sources, and may ignore it from others. Subconscious processes will play a significant role in your thinking. Sometimes you can purely intuitively feel which information is correct and which is false, but you will hardly be able to explain it. For example, to a person with an Earth-dominant chart, your usual arguments might seem like nonsense. In general, you probably often have problems with understanding in communication. Perhaps your speech sometimes lacks coherence, as you have a logic of associative connections that almost no one understands except Water signs. If you do not work on yourself, on your speech, it will be very difficult to understand you: the speech of Mercury in Cancer is gurgling, indistinct. And if Mercury is also far from the Sun, speech can generally turn into an indistinct mumble. Most likely, you have many problems in communication, as you are sensitive, anxious, and need approval. When you speak, you observe your interlocutor, seeking confirmation, approval with a word, gesture, or glance. If you do not receive this, you probably start to think that you are speaking incorrectly or have offended your interlocutor. Mercury hosted by the Moon also shows that you have a quick, subtle reaction to changes in the environment, almost instantaneous. If, for example, your interlocutor is a person with a stony, expressionless face, you will most likely start to get nervous after a while, quite noticeably. To build close relationships with you, it is necessary to create a feeling of security, safety, and acceptance of all your thoughts. If this is not present, you will withdraw into yourself and seek to avoid communication. In the worst case, you can be very unsociable, even to the point of certain psychological deviations, such as neuroses. However, you will avoid people only due to increased vulnerability. But on the other hand, you are definitely very attentive to the psychological states of your interlocutor and show interest in their inner world. Perhaps in communication, you have a tendency towards shared experiences depending on cultural orientation (for example, you can listen to music with friends). You can talk about such experiences and thus ensure mutual understanding on an emotional level. If such shared experiences are not found, it may be difficult for you to communicate effectively with a person. As a rule, you are susceptible to criticism; however, you are scattered, easily offended, and often (but not always) resentful.

Key words: sensitive, help, emotions, intuition, protect, worry, feel, respond, listen, need, empathize, safe. Mercury in Cancer defines thinking mediated by feelings. Children with this placement think in terms of emotions. They have a very subjective approach to life and are so sensitive that everything affects them. They pick up ideas from anyone who is around them at the moment. Teach them independence and a more objective view of the world. They have a tenacious mind, they are consistent in their habits and views. For such a child, it is very important to define themselves in life from the very beginning and choose the right ideals. After all, they tend to adopt other people's thoughts and feelings without thinking. Parents and family always have a huge impact on them. While the child is still small, it is necessary to teach them independence and an objective view of the world. Children with Mercury in Cancer are extremely emotional, feelings are everything for them, and often they themselves do not know why they think one way and not another. If they are upset, the whole world is perceived by them in black colors. Help them to get rid of such thoughts and explain that a clear mind is what helps to make the right decisions. I do not recommend arguing with the child or "attacking" them. They will become stubborn, and you will not achieve any results. Try to address their feelings: your baby is very impressionable, every thing has an emotional coloring for them. On the contrary, a logical, cold, or harsh approach is contraindicated here. Instead of arguing or ordering, say to them that you have not forgotten to ask about their feelings. Avoid the word "think" - it does not work here. Children with this placement of Mercury have a highly developed intuition, they can rely on their instincts and premonitions. Often they have the abilities of mediums. It is quite possible that they will not have everything easy in school, as they better perceive information through hearing. Movies, television, travel, and other people's stories can teach them a lot, while reading - almost nothing. If they remember the material, you can be sure that tomorrow it will not fly out of their head. There is only one way to their mind - through feelings. If you remember this, you will not have big problems with the child, you will stop suffering from misunderstanding, and you will become good friends. When you have a serious conversation, first choose a suitable place so that the child does not feel uncomfortable. Do not forget that your words should come from the heart. Tell them about your feelings and ask about their experiences. Do not scare your baby with upcoming changes. Say how you need them. And, most importantly, do not forget about their need for emotions and feelings!

Mercury in Cancer: Mercury in Cancer gives its native a wonderful memory and the ability to adapt to anyone and anything, sensitivity and impressionability, caution and caring, a rich imagination and a lively, vibrant imagination, strong intuition and diplomatic abilities, a clear and practical mind, a desire for communication and information, a talent for a researcher-scholar, a love for the world of art - music, poetry, rhetoric, travel and journeys, mass entertainment, a refined sense of rhythm and movement, plasticity, form and color. Emotions clearly dominate the intellect, sometimes overwhelming it. The mind is usually analytical, contemplative, very subjective, very dreamy, enhancing the subtlety of the spirit, ripening in the depths of the soul and helping to conceive and realize ideas. Unsteadiness and instability are expressed in constantly changing views, opinions, beliefs, and an unstable mood, which in turn often change even the spiritual direction of this person. As a business partner, this person is not very reliable; as a personality - this can be a person prone to alcoholism and drugs, to frivolous behavior, sybaritism.

Unconscious impulses and desires make you turn a blind eye to many things, which can lead to bias and an unbusinesslike approach. Excellent memory, intuition, interest in psychology. A gentle soul, thoughts revolve around your own family, home, food. Possible insincerity, greed, cruelty (small). The work may be related to psychology, psychiatry, or they may be psychotherapists. You are deeply interested in internal, subjective and personal issues. Your thinking is based more on feelings, intuition, personal experience and prejudices than on reason or logic. Intellectual abilities and achievements play an insignificant role for you if there is no heart, no soul. You know how to be attentive, able to listen confidentially, and you can make an excellent consultant. In addition to psychology, you are attracted to art, poetry, music, mythology. You are perhaps afraid of a large audience, but you easily open up among a small number of people you know well. You intelligently and with great pleasure keep a diary or notebook, documenting life, events, and incidents. Characteristic diseases: spasms, colic, neuroses.

How your child thinks, learns, and communicates Your child may have a photographic memory. However, in communication, they often do not express themselves directly, as they protect their spiritual world. Your child may absorb facts and details like a sponge and remember them forever. But their natural method is not "thinking," but "feeling." This child thinks, learns, and reacts on an emotional level. Do not try to understand them through logic and reason - it will not work. They have very strong intuition. Your child will know a lot, but will not be able to explain why and how. Still, trust what they know. Much of what happens in their head will remain hidden forever. This child has a vivid imagination, blooming in creative activities such as painting, dancing, theatrical performances, literature, and poetry. Encourage this! Your child will probably be very diligent in schoolwork, but will not express themselves or answer willingly until they feel complete confidence. This child needs to work at their own pace, without competing. A strong memory will help in subjects where facts are important.

Mercury makes Cancer receptive to words and indeed to signs, symbolic systems in which the mercurial Cancer can discern a great depth and meaning; well-suited for historians-archaeologists deciphering ancient texts in unknown languages. Mercury also facilitates Cancer's problem of expressing its deep feelings, helping it to create a more or less adequate language for this purpose; the degree of its intelligibility and importance to those around it and to humanity as a whole is determined by the aspects of Mercury and the level of Mercury's development. A great sensitivity to words, often a strong emotional reaction, with significant distortions in perception of verbal and symbolic information and the transmission of feelings through words.

Sensitive, subtle, receptive, and sometimes capricious mind. Imagination may embellish reality: the person will lie, unaware of it. Excellent memory for impressions and feelings. Delicate analysis of subjective sensations: facts and events have less significance than the feelings they evoke. Thought can be obtuse and conservative: ideas need time to "ripen". Lack of sense of humor. In a dispute, he strongly holds onto his ideas as a lifeline. Under negative influence - inconsistency, illogic, stubbornness.
