Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the beans on my little experiment with “mercury in cancer.” Sounds kinda witchy, right? Well, stick with me.
First off, I gotta admit, I’m no astrologer guru. I just find this stuff interesting. I read somewhere that Mercury, when it’s in Cancer, can make communication a bit… tricky. Like, more emotional, less logical. I wanted to see if I could actually feel it, you know?
So, the week Mercury went into Cancer, I decided to track my interactions. I started a little notebook. Old school, I know! Every day, I’d jot down notes about how I communicated with people – my partner, my coworkers, even just the cashier at the grocery store.
The first few days, honestly, I didn’t notice much. I was thinking, “Maybe this is all just BS.” But then, mid-week, things got… interesting.
I started getting way more sensitive to what people were saying. Like, my coworker made a joke about my messy desk (which, okay, it IS a disaster zone), and usually I’d just laugh it off. But this time, it actually stung! I found myself getting defensive, explaining why it was messy, which I never do.
Then, at home, my partner and I had this conversation about chores. Normally, we’re pretty good at dividing things up. But this time, I felt like I was doing WAY more than my fair share. And instead of just saying, “Hey, can you help out more?” I got all passive-aggressive, leaving dirty dishes in the sink and sighing dramatically.
- I noticed I was overthinking texts before sending them.
- I spent ages trying to figure out the “perfect” way to word things.
- I re-read old conversations, searching for hidden meanings (yikes!).
The weirdest part? I also found myself reminiscing a lot. Flipping through old photos, thinking about past relationships, even getting a little teary-eyed over a commercial about dogs (I don’t even LIKE dogs that much!).
By the end of the week, I was pretty convinced something was up. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I definitely felt more emotional and less rational than usual. My communication was definitely more… Cancer-y.
So, what did I learn? Well, firstly, astrology can be kinda fun, even if you don’t take it too seriously. And secondly, being aware of these potential influences can actually help you manage your emotions and communicate better. Now, I’m not gonna blame every bad day on Mercury, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind.
And that’s my “mercury in cancer” adventure. Next time, I’m thinking of tackling Venus in retrograde. Wish me luck!
