Brace yourselves for a cosmic joyride as Mercury takes a leisurely swim through empathetic Cancer, liberally throwing sextiles to your composite Pholus in charismatic Leo. Ordinarily, the impact might feel as monumental as stubbing your toe on a leg of the cosmos; thankfully, magical things happen when you put crabs and lions in the same celestial zoo.

Get ready for Winne the Pooh-like wisdom as Cancer's maternal instincts coalesce with Mercury's quicksilver intellect. Inspired thoughts-like eco-friendly picnic spreads or the existential crisis of Tupperware-may flash across your minds. Embrace this as it fuels heartfelt, albeit soda-pop deep, dialogues.

Communication takes a heartfelt detour. Cancer insists we use our words, folks. Reroute text message breakups for face-to-face compassion-or for the brave (or foolhardy), via Zoom. And with Pholus in Leo adding spice to the mix, we need a dash of dramatic declamations. Who needs Shakespeare in the park when we've got serenades under our own stars?

Mercury sextile Pholus opens up a Pandora's box of self-expression. The floodgates haven't exactly opened. More like a water pistol at a squirt-off. You'll find subtle shifts adding technicolor vibrancy to your bond. Unexpected anecdotes, sharing of hidden dreams, voicing unuttered fears-it's like getting to know each other...again. Just when you thought your relationship was a well-explored map, a sextile wind blows in, revealing uncharted territories.

But beware, Leo remembers every compliment under the sun. Whatever you say in Cancerian nurturing fits might be taken as a sworn promise under Leo. "I think you'd look great with a blue mohawk" might turn into an actual hair appointment. Keep a verbal leash on that Leo energy.

Essentially, you'll be experiencing a cosmic waltz with communication at its core. Between creatively nurturing Cancer and dramatically expressive Leo, your relationship will take ten healthy steps forward-even if you occasionally side-eye back.

And remember, when Mercury paddles back out of Cancer's waters, hold onto that Tupperware wisdom. It's dishwasher safe.
