Under the indifferent watch of your ruling planet Mercury, the day will unravel for you, Virgo, much like a tautly wound thread of some decrepit puppeteer’s marionette. An unsettling sense of strings puppeteering your movements might creep over you today. In the grey light of dawn, shadows will find an odd comfort in your world, slithering shapes manifesting themselves from the corners of the reality you once knew, clambering ever so delicately into places you would rather they didn’t traverse. The rhythm of these doldrums will quicken from a steady march to an offbeat, menacing waltz. Is it merely the echo of your own heartbeat reverberating in a world turned upside down, or is something more sinister dancing in the darkness?

Your reverence and dependence on routine, the safe pattern of existence that you have meticulously woven, may twist unsettlingly into a tightening noose woven with motley patches of the uncanny, the bizarre, the horrifying. The glimpses of triviality you chance upon in the quotidian will ravel into grotesque tapestries of a nightmare, bringing conflicts into trembling light and fraying your conviction at the edges. Every clinical detail, analyzed and re-analyzed in your sophisticated mind, will taste of uncanny dread and feel spiked with shards of unknown fear that cut away at the solid ground you tread upon. Remember, Virgo, it is the uncanny dread that gnaws from the inside that grows your strength and resilience. It is in the face of unmanifested terror, stripped of familiarity, where you find the essence of your true self.
