Life By Soul

enters at 4:55a PDT on 1st June 2026, & it will have us thinking about & talking about our emotions, & more specifically, how we feel about ourselves, our lives, & the people we look to for exchanges of emotional nurturing & support.
Where Cancer is positioned in our charts represents the places where & the people with whom we feel most comfortable letting our guard down - people we will emotionally protect & defend, & who we hope will emotionally protect & defend us. This is where we feel most at home & who we feel most at home with.
That said, with Mercury in Cancer, we can expect our exchanges of ideas & information with others to be more focused on matters of home, family, &/or emotional support & protection.
The people you talk with & interact with most during this time will likely be those you think of (or come to think of) as “family” whether blood &/or chosen. You may also learn or better understand where or how you emotionally connect with others, or when & how you feel most comfortable taking the initiative to pursue emotional connection(s) with others.
This 2026 Cancer Mercury will have a very long tenure in this sign, going retrograde on 29th June, returning to direct motion in on 23rd July, then exiting Cancer for Leo on 9th August 2026. ~ With love, Grace

enters at 4:48p (16:48) PST on 28th May 2026, encouraging discussions about our individual & collective resources, specifically our food, shelter, & access to them. As more of us become aware of how rapidly our lifestyles may be shifting in ways where many things can no longer be taken for granted, there are more of us exchanging ideas & information not only to bring more attention to what may be happening around us, but to also come up with possible alternatives to &/or solutions for the conditions ahead.
It's important to remember that though our personal values will vary depending on who we are as individuals, there are some resources that none of us can live without. This 2026 Ceres in Gemini can help us realign our values with our realities, now thru 12th August 2026.

20th May 2026 through 31st May 2026 - The energy of "The One Who Cares to Listen" may encourage you to listen & learn more than speak & teach. This is an important time for you to gather information & insights into what is needed in order to bring yourself & others peace of mind.
Under this influence, listening is key, but so is asking for what you need when you need it. As much as you may be listening for others’ needs, remember that others are listening for yours. As much as you may want to provide emotional & practical support to others, others may want to provide you with the same, challenging you to allow balanced reciprocation in service & support. ~ With love, Grace
