Mercury Retrograde In Cancer

Mercury retrograde gets blamed for everything from tech meltdowns to relationship drama — but most people don't actually understand what it's doing. In this deep dive, I break down the astronomical reality of Mercury retrograde, why it functions as a review period rather than a punishment period, and why this particular retrograde in Cancer is landing in territory most people aren't prepared for. Cancer communicates to protect. Mercury retrograde in Cancer reviews where that protective communication became avoidance — and asks you to finish the emotional conversations you started and then abandoned. If you've been talking around something instead of through it, this retrograde is going to make that impossible to ignore.

June 29 — The Day Astrology Got Loud

In this episode, I break down what each transit actually means, why they're happening simultaneously, and what to practically do with the energy — no rituals, no vibes, just the seasonal logic.
