Mercury in Cancer — Meaning in Vedic Astrology

Thinking here is filtered through feeling — this placement's mind processes information intuitively and emotionally as much as logically, with a good memory for personal history and a communication style that's warm and attuned to others' feelings. There's real emotional intelligence in how this combination thinks and speaks. The risk is a mind that lets mood color its judgment, or that struggles to separate objective analysis from personal feeling.
