Mercury in Cancer
Mercury in Cancer thinks through feeling and remembers the tone more than the words.
Cancer is cardinal water ruled by the Moon. Mercury here thinks through feeling: an idea is tested by how it sits rather than whether it is strictly logical, and the memory is retentive for atmosphere, faces and old conversations. These people speak carefully with strangers and warmly with their own, and they are good at finding the words that comfort someone. The cost is objectivity, since a mood colors a judgment without being noticed, and criticism is taken personally long after it was meant.
