What Each Zodiac Can Expect When Mercury Enters Cancer On June 17

Mercury, the planet that governs information, data, and communication enters the sensitive sign of Cancer on June 17th. This transition is a marked shift from Mercury being in Gemini, the sign Mercury was residing in prior. With Mercury in Cancer, we can expect a connection between the logical mind and emotional mind, perhaps bringing union between rationality and subconscious wisdom. Here’s what each Zodiac sign can expect during this transit.

Aries

You may find yourself saying things you don’t mean or acting quickly out of emotions that seemingly come from nowhere. With Mercury in Cancer, take note to be extra self-forgiving, as emotions do not always come easy for you.

Taurus

An enhanced connection between the logical mind and emotional mind serves as a source of inspiration. Known for being tremendously practical, a deeper focus on the subconscious domain allows you to communicate qualities that typically lay under conscious awareness. You will show better in all roles and relationships taking in input from the two.

Gemini

One who loves learning, growing, and sharing information, finding deeper meaning in subconscious layers ignites your sense of curiosity. You may find yourself growing frustrated, as shifting through layers of unseen or illogically-appearing emotions may seem never-ending. If you allow things to remain light, you’ll find beauty in the nonsensical.

Cancer

With Mercury transitioning into your sign, you may find the information you’re taking in unlocks sensitivity overdrive. Be mindful of personal boundaries and the capacity you have to take in new information. It’s okay to set extra boundaries and limit who has access to your precious energy.

Leo

Self-expressive by nature, taking in and releasing information while uniting emotion and logic feels extra magical. Expect to feel drawn towards connecting with people around you — even more so than usual. You may be particularly extroverted, and it’s important to allow opportunities for these qualities to manifest themselves.

Virgo

With a tendency towards self-criticism, the transition of Mercury into Cancer brings about a softer side of personal expression. Set aside time to focus on personal relationships, as more sensitive communication is important in seeing yourself with more clarity. 

Libra

Beautiful Libra, you have a tendency to set personal opinions aside when it comes to navigating relationships. With Mercury in Cancer, you’ll naturally find yourself expressing more personal opinions. Although greater vulnerability and self-disclosure may heighten a sense of anxiety, it’s important to process these emotions so subconscious layers can get the attention and care they deserve.

Scorpio

Although interpersonal connection is one of the most important things to you, you ironically have a tendency to shy away from expressing the vulnerable side of how you feel and what you desire. With Mercury in Cancer, this tendency may calm itself, and you’ll feel drawn towards expressing what lays below the surface. Ride the wave of showing up more with more vulnerability.

Sagittarius

Adventurous and life-loving Sagittarius, being exposed to more sensitivity and emotions can feel a bit jarring. Being action-oriented and driven, take note to listen to what others are sharing. You’ll learn a lot through the process of noticing discomfort.

Capricorn

Diligent Capricorn, you naturally rely on rational forms of communication. With Mercury in Cancer, expect to feel a bit confused, as the data you’re taking in likely contains more emotions and subconscious information than you’re used to. Avoid the urge to shut down. Instead, keep an open-mind when facing unexpected outcomes and situations.

Aquarius

A humanitarian and individualist by nature, Mercury transitioning into sensitive and nurturing Cancer will likely spark a desire to listen more intimately to what’s happening in the world around you. You love to problem solve and may find yourself absorbing more than you’re sharing during this time.

Pisces

Dreamy Pisces, shifting towards a more sensitive and subconscious-oriented side of communication will feel tremendously appealing to your empathetic soul. You may find yourself more extroverted than usual, as your perception shifts to more accurately reflect internal values and experiences. Now is the time to be creative and playfully engaged.
