Mercury's transit through Cancer is sashaying a soulful dance, bidding your composite Lilith in Taurus to join. The planet of communication is entering the realm of the crab, evoking the realm of emotions, instincts and intuition, while Lilith, on a different dance floor altogether, frolics in the material world of Taurus.
Humor alert! This configuration suggests that if you two were to play a competitive game of 'guess the emotion', Mercury in Cancer would hand you a significant advantage. The Sextile, an aspect of ease and flow, hints there's a strategizing involved here, perhaps less 'rock, paper, scissors' and more 'feeling, intuition, pragmatism.' Now, we re-enter seriousness.
Issues around possession, sensuality, values clash, and material outcomes that have been lurking inside the shadowy closet of your relational universe start to resonate. Unexpected clarity arises about these domains. Like your family's black sheep striking gold in a talent show, your stubborn, ignored, or problematic themes may begin to look different, even promising.
Your dialogues, both within and interpersonally, plunge into the abyss where you've stowed away your darker thoughts. Yes, it's uncomfortable, yes, it's intense, but with Mercury's silver tongue sleek about the Sextile's land of harmony, it might be less 'judgment day' and more like a Dr. Phil episode. Well, the part where people realize their shortcomings and promise to do better.
Suddenly, there could be an observance of healthy boundaries, or maybe a cathartic confession that leads to a better understanding of each other's primal needs. One might say, "That superhero action figure you bought, I think it's because of your fear of vulnerability." The other might reply, "Perhaps my excessive online shopping fills the void your lack of emotional availability creates." Then you two laugh because it's too 'meta', too Mercury-in-Cancer.
To conclude, oh, I promised no 'In conclusion'... So how about this? Between the Cancerian crab's conspiratorial whispers and Taurus' bellowing revelations, you're destined for transforming views on shared assets, communication patterns, and power dynamics. Don't be surprised if you go from an uncanny couple to unexpected power couple next door. But remember, no capes! They are notorious tripping hazards.
