Our New Moon in Virgo on the 6th answers to Mercury in Libra just on the cusp of entering his Pre-retrograde shadow. That tells us that information will expand, contract and likely flip flop as we move forward into September. As a matter of fact, much of our time ahead includes different parts of the sky coming to a standstill as our outer planets begin to reach their direct station points. First, though, Mercury's 3rd retrograde of 2021 will bring us back into the previous Mercury shenanigans from his backwards journeys earlier this year. The season of the Hermit would have us pause for introspection. Our guide, the 8 of Swords, for this lunation advises much the same. You are only as trapped as you think you are.
Separate yourself from the bullshit cutting one little thread at a time. Someone might be lying to you. Or, you might just be trapped in your own mind. Either way, it's time to shed some light on things in effort to set yourself free. I've seen this card come up for writer's block or when a conversation comes to a dead end. Sometimes we can be truly lost for words. But, often, it's the emotional aspect that is clouding the issue. We are afraid. They are afraid. No one is seeing the facts and sometimes everyone is scared to death to even mention the elephant in the room. Someone's going to have to address that tusked beast though. It just might be you.
There may be some difficult things for us to work through on a personal level that involve thought demons or machinations of unresolved trauma/shadow. There may be facts that we are unable to see just yet because we don't want to look at them. But, we will. All in good time because we are going to be sick of feeling stuck eventually.
I often hear folks declare “Enough” when this card comes up too. And if that's something that needs to happen, have at it because nothing moves under this card until the air is cleared. Wipe the emotional cobwebs from your eyes. Think about the situation and consider it from all angles as you step away from the water and out of the fog. Limber yourself up by introducing new material to the mental realm in hopes of bringing in outside clarity.
8's can certainly point to lingering fear in the air. So, look for that entrapment in your own thoughts to ensure there are not scripts in there that need to be purged or brought to a new level of maturity. Gut check liars, dude. Ain't nobody got time for that.
