Mercury Retrograde in Cancer 2007

There is no place to run, no place to hide from June 16 to July 9. Why? Because we are facing a Mercury retrograde in Cancer.

Mercury retrograde is a planetary movement that occurs three times per year for three weeks at a time. This retrograde travels from 12 Cancer back to 3 Cancer, conjoining on June 28 at 7 Cancer. Our subconscious signs, signals and messages will come out into the light and affect our daily lives. We will even gain a better understanding of the perceptions we have been holding of our lives. What is false will be the subject of confrontation. You must decide how you want to communicate regarding your responsibilities, relationships, and reputation.

Mercury in Cancer translates into communicating about relationships. Mercury retrograde in Cancer is a clarion call from the Universe to review relationships of all kinds, including the one we have with ourselves. Are you expressing your true feelings or repressing them? Are you revealing your needs? Are you being authentic in your everyday life? What is not working for you? What needs to change? What rut do you need to get out of? What makes you anxious, afraid and insecure (Cancer is a sign with an innate sense of insecurity)? How can you become emotionally powerful and less self-protective in your relationships? How can you create healthy emotional boundaries through communication?

This retrograde is trine the retrograde point of the last Mercury retrograde in February, thus it offers us the opportunity to better understand the revelations we had at that time when we had to prove our value and our abilities. This retrograde point falls within a degree of where Mars will station and transit retrograde on November 15, 2007. What you learn during this retrograde will resurface between November 2007 and April 2008.
