Mercury in Cancer is paying a visit to your third house, and he's unpacked his suitcase of crayons. Stripped-down Astrology translates Mercury as communication, Cancer as emotions, and third house as communication again! Put simply, you're in for a double-decker sandwich of expressive talk and chatter in the upcoming transit.
As a couple, you'll find your dialogue laced with syrupy sentiments and emotions rolling off your tongues like award-winning improv poets. None of those kinds of talks, you're going full out 'What's the meaning of life?' Don't be surprised if you start finishing each other's sentences, though, beware of overdoing it - you don't want to provoke Mercury into a game of Telepathy gone wrong.
You two are set to be the master translators of non-verbal cues. Your partner's furrowed brow will be as clear as reading a billboard sign. With Mercury acting like a switchboard operator, you two will be effortlessly plugged into each other's emotional circuitry- channeling your inner psychic dynamic duo.
Yet, a note of caution! Mercury in Cancer can trigger mood shifts faster than flipping TV channels. One minute you're rolling on a bed of roses, the next you're clinging onto icebergs in the Arctic! This transit takes 'emotional rollercoaster' to a whole new level.
Finally, the inner literary geniuses in both of you might come alive. You might find scribbling your feelings into a 'we-log' could help maintain a healthy emotional balance. Clearly, Mercury in Cancer in the third house is on a mission to make Shakespeare blush with your poetic discourse!
