Communication planet Mercury leaves its home sign of Gemini and moves into watery, emotional Cancer, where it will curl up until in cozy slippers till June 25. The waterworks are on, as Cancer makes us sentimental, nostalgic and focused on our feelings. Cancer also rules home and family, so it's a good time to catch up with relatives, take short trips together or even sign a lease on a new home (Mercury rules legal contracts).

During Mercury's stay in breezy Gemini, we've bandied ideas around, flirted and brainstormed. Follow-through wasn't as important as the exchange of dialogue and interesting thoughts. Now that Mercury is in Cancer, it's more about speaking from the heart, connecting and offering up sweet understanding. Try a few terms of endearment and amp up the empathy. Watery Cancer is an intuitive sign, so with mental Mercury here, we may all be a little more psychic or tuned in to each other. The downside: We'll also absorb each other's feelings and moods, so remember to "hold the space" for people rather than trying to solve their problems … or take them on as your own!
