• OOB MERCURY ENTERS CANCER 01 JUNE 2026

  • Mercury in CancerOOB MERCURY ENTERS CANCER

    OOB until 14 June, Mercury enters the nurturing sign of Cancer on 01 June where it will remain until 9 August due to its retrograde period from 29 June to 23 July.

    Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” Mercury and with the planet being OOB* for the earlier part of its stay this may mean that we have an overflow of rationality when it comes to sentiments and feelings or, our poetic vein and story-telling could reach new heights! Let’s not forget that Mercury in the myth is also the trickster and the prankster.

    Mercury will make the following aspects during its passage through Cancer:

    03-04 June: square Neptune (04°06’ Cancer-Aries) – emotional confusion or delusion.

    09-10 June: square Saturn (12°58’ Cancer-Aries) – an excellent day for brainstorming especially regarding emotional or family problems.

    29 June: Mercury SR 26°15’ Cancer

    23 July: Mercury SD 16°18’ Cancer

    09 August: Mercury enters Leo

    Glossary

    *What does it mean for a planet to be OOB? When we cast an astrological chart we use a precise locality (birth place) on the earth and from this observation point we take note of the position of the planets in the sky at the time of birth and this enables us to calculate the angles that the planets form to the given locality. Another point of reference however is the celestial equator (which is the terrestrial equator elongated into space). When planets travel beyond 23°27’ either side of the celestial equator, be it North or South, they are referred to as “out of bounds”.

    OOB planets can also be found in birth charts and special attention should be paid to them since they are considered “stronger”.
