Lads and ladies, batten down the hatches and prepare for a turbulent interesting time as Mercury and Vesta start square-dancing around Pisces and Cancer. Now, with Mercury in Cancer, communication will be the boat you ride together amidst emotional waters. These won't be simple paddleboat rides, as the energy of Cancer tends to churn the sea of feelings into fierce waves. So, listen and empathize with each other more. Is this a movie trailer for The Notebook? Just asking.

Moving on, strong emotions can becloud your perceptions. The kindly crabs of Cancer are notorious for their overactive 'feeling antennae', which suddenly makes them at par with your lady aunt's romance novel reading skills. Yuikes! Got to be careful with the words you use, or you'll suddenly find yourself standing in a melodrama, that wave of emotion crashing on all sides.

However, have no fear! Your composite Vesta in Pisces magnifies spiritual connections, encouraging you both to seek solace in each other's company. In these times, you're likely to find each other solving Sudoku puzzles on rainy afternoons or sharing long walks in the park, and who wouldn't want that, really? It's your best buddy and you, against the world. Or in this case, the planets.

But don't lose sight of the real world, alright? While Pisces loves its dreamy landscapes, the dreaminess has the potential to fan the Cancerian insecurities, and before you know it, you're not just dealing with a couple of watery signs, but an ocean!

Remember, Mercury and Vesta's square is a call to balance - to merge the deep emotional communication of Mercury in Cancer with the dreamy devotion of Vesta in Pisces. So when you both suddenly find yourselves in an emotional tumble-dry cycle, remember to laugh it off, and keep that balance. Not every Mercury transit needs to be a soap opera. A sitcom will do just fine.
