As Mercury performs a cosmic pirouette through your sign of Cancer, the conversation in your relationship might start to sound a bit like chicken clucking. Don't worry, though. It's not that you've unknowingly stepped onto the set of "Chicken Run." Instead, your communication is simply more emotionally charged than usual. Imagine your words wrapped in a cuddly, oversized, hand-knitted sweater or floating along with lily pads on a smooth-running river. That's the kind of communication we're going for here.

Now, what happens when this emotional Mercury forms a sextile with your composite Eros (aka the love asteroid) in Taurus, you ask? Picture a crème brûlée- delightful, rich, and layered- not to mention the delectable caramelized shell that cracks with the lightest touch (dramatic drool). Eros in Taurus focuses on a sensual, earthy love, one that cherishes each took-you-half-an-hour-to-put-on-eyelash; every secret recipe midnight snack; each impromptu serenade in the shower that never sounds quite like Freddie Mercury.

But, hey, when Leo strums the lyre, you'd better believe he isn't worried about hitting the wrong notes. Why should you? That kind of authentic connection is what Eros in Taurus is all about.

Mercury's transit brings emotional intelligence to this sensual interplay. You will find yourselves diving deeper into your emotional needs while also considering ways to better fulfill your partner's needs. It's truly a win-win scenario.

Just make sure that you store up all that emotion-drenched dialogue for later. Too much communication can get soggy. And remember, no one likes a water-logged crème brûlée! So speak your minds, express those heart flutters, but try not to drown the lettuce, if you catch my drift.

Above all, this transit invites you to passionately delve into your emotions, while simultaneously finding solace in the tangible. Have fun navigating it - or - as Mercury in Cancer might say, enjoy each delightful quack in the conversation of love.
