Thursday brings interesting energy to our daily tarot charts, which include tarot, numerology and astrology. The date is 8/22, which brings the energy of the master number 22 and 8, the powerhouse, into play. Then the Sun enters Virgo after spending some time in Leo, the sign of its highest expression.
As Virgo season begins this year, we enter a new cycle of growth that comes from taking care of the details. Virgo season encourages us to stay consistent and work for success every day. We should learn life’s lessons and listen to what the Universe wants to tell us.
These lessons help us achieve our goals and maintain inner and outer well-being. Note: Virgo season connects us more closely with the planet Mercury, which is retrograde. Mercury is all about thinking less, talking less, and looking inward. Is it a coincidence that the tarot card that rules Virgo is the Hermit? The Hermit tells us to do the same.
The Hermit symbolizes inner wisdom. Standing upright, this card says we should use our inner light to help others and light up the world. August 22nd shows us how all things are connected and that the universe is constantly interacting with us so we can join in. Let’s look at what each zodiac sign’s tarot card reveals to learn more about what this day might bring.
