CANCER
Cancer, you cannot control every situation, and this Mercury Retrograde you are being taught a hard lesson. You may believe you are just looking to gain some structure in your life, but truly you are dominating over others around you.This may be coming from some unresolved baggage you have surrounding others making decisions (or judgment) on you. You can set boundaries with people who are pushing you too far; treating them with the same behavior is only creating a cesspool of toxicity that you will both drown in.

However, do not bother with them or engage during this time
