Mercury retrograde in Cancer 2020- Think and Feel Twice about It
The Mercury retrograde cycle in Cancer turns the mind into a time capsule. As Mercury stops still and falls asleep, we wake up inside a repetitive dream. The sensations that arise from this can be erratic and strange, though seem so eerily familiar. You’ve felt and thought this before and nothing turned out like you believed it would. Your journal is open to rewrite your history.
Transiting Mercury rx in Cancer can change the way that some people experience chronicle time. There may be events such as ‘losing time’ or forgetting whole sequels of events, time may seem to accelerate or slow, one night may last lifetime, yesterday may seem like it happened years ago. Chronicle time is not passing in seconds and minutes, it’s being recorded in moments, images, and inner growth. We are now under the spell of kairos and spirit’s time.
Transiting Mercury is in Cancer turns the intellect into a visual cinema of concepts, imaginative facilities, and characters of our dreams, stories, and retained memories. Mercury is frozen in the sky and freezes our mind on certain scenes, dreams, and recollections from our life’s discography. Some memories are messengers, and some are imprints and energies created and sustained purely by our own thoughts. It’s deciphering what to take with you into the next phase and what you will be leaving behind. In astrology, Mercury is the archetype of our thinking and Cancer embodies our feelings. This retrograde is a dose of space sedative to discourage avoidance tactics such intellectualisation, compulsive activity, interaction, and the like to evade finally stopping and being still. Stillness means finding out how you really feel, and letting all of the emotions you’ve been running from catch up and be felt by you
~Side-effects of the Mercury rx in Cancer cycle
~Sleepy head, losing everything
~Sudden episodes of sadness or longing and old memories returning to the conscious shoreline are not helping very much most of these are not of importance. These are energetic imprints from the past without a purpose in the present, and that’s where they need to return and stay
~A long meditation. A good energy for practicing mindfulness or the state of being mindful with a mind that keeps emptying out. Now thoughts have slowed down enough for us to hear what we really think
~You can finally take that deep breath and shut your eyes. You won’t miss out on anything - no-one is talking sense anyway.
~People may seem difficult to follow in conversation and keep missing or misinterpreting your point
~Mercury rx is retracing back over territory already crossed, so it may create the vivid deja vu experiences. Because we are in the sign of Cancer, these often relate back to our childhood
~The inner experiences, intuitive leaps, and realisations may be too profound for words and seem too intricate to be shared, our mystic experiences can literally stun us into silence.
~This is a good phase to start a moon mood journal and transcribe the thoughts and feelings that you experience in alignment with the lunar cycles. We are crossing the bridge from dream to consciousness without it vanishing before it can be turned into words, we can use this special resource to start practicing and getting the rhythm of it
~It also suggests that we may have some inner experiences that literally stun is into silence because they are too profound and have no language to be shared with
We have adapted to working or thinking twice as hard and fast to recover what is lost...and yet the retrograding planet is peaceful and sleeping in the sky, serene and silent. Cancer energy is inviting us to dream awake with it and let ourselves take this pre booked horoscope holiday and see what happens behind the screen of the eye’s mind. As Cancer is the residence of our ancestors and spirit guides, and Mercury is the conduit of spirit to mind, we can say a silent prayer inside and call for their guidance and loving support
