This combination makes for a person who sees their career through the window of home and family. This would also be a great placement for a teacher, especially of younger children.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Your astrology chart

1. Know that Cancer is a homebody component in any chart. Mercury in Cancer can make you imaginative about your homelife. This is a parent who will read and sing to the kids from the time they are born. Enjoy it.

2. Don't allow your feelings to get hurt just because someone disagrees with your ideas. You tend to confuse mental and emotional issues, so keep an eye on that. Someone can disagree with you and still love you wholeheartedly.

3. Consider that Mercury in Cancer would be a great party planner. Just expect things to be more homey than splashy. Another career option is running a bed and breakfast.

4. Be aware that Mercury in Cancer can be difficult when there are disagreements. Disagreement can be seen as disloyalty. It isn't, but Mercury in Cancer will still react that way.

Tips & Warnings

• Find a career that uses your quick mind AND emotions. Keep your home neat. You'll drive yourself crazy if you don't.
• Let people disagree with you intellectually without doubting their love and loyalty. You'll end up hurting somebody's feelings, and you know you hate that.
