June 8
Mercury enters Cancer
You may notice you’re having trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning, that you’re spacing out in mid conversation, or you’re desperate to take a catnap during your lunchbreak. Did you suddenly develop narcolepsy? No. But drowsiness is the order of the day when Mercury, the planet of the mind, is traveling through the realm of the Moon. Don’t try to fight the drooping eyelids by fueling up with caffeine or Red Bull. You’ll only make matters worse. This is your Unconscious’s way of getting you to unplug. At the very least you’ll wake up feeing renewed and regenerated. Then again you could re-emerge from your slumbers with a fascinating idea or a fresh take on an old problem. People with strong lunar energy do some of their best thinking in their sleep. Mercury will be in Cancer until June 26th. Signs most affected: Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces
