An individual with their natal Mercury in Cancer usually demonstrates a high level of emotional awareness, as their empathic nature is intertwined with their analytical side, for better or worse.
At times, your feelings can hinder your ability to think and communicate rationally; in other words, your mood can easily determine what comes out of your mouth. Still, this does give you a more intuitive way of approaching life, which can make you very insightful when it comes to complex emotional dynamics. In group settings, Mercury in Cancer placements usually take on a caregiving role – they engage in conversation through listening and holding space for others.
With Mercury in your first house, intelligence is a key part of your persona. You are someone who lives in a world of logic and rationality. If there is a problem, then you are likely to be the person with the solutions. You follow where your curiosity leads you to.
Having enthusiasm for learning is what keeps life interesting and meaningful. The more you know, the more you feel like yourself. Simply put, your mind is who you are. It is important for you to express what it is you are thinking. Sharing your thoughts is a necessary part of you living your purpose.
