May 8, we have the moon here in Virgo, and this is a day of great ideas. Hasta is actually a Nakshatra that deals with great intelligence. But the moon has crossed over Ketu. It's still very close to Ketu. And Ketu is deep, dark stuff. It's actually things beyond this world. So it's like this day, you're not going to feel completely, totally connected to the world. If I could say kind of out there in a way. People are not connected. And with it being in Virgo, I do want you to know Virgo still is a sign that deals so much with detail, criticism, analysis. So this is a day of deep analysis. But people will come off being much more critical than normal. And watch yourself so that you're not more critical of other people. Nobody likes to be told what to do. Let me just say that. So be careful before you tell people what you think, and especially if it's scrutinizing and criticizing. Otherwise it's going to come back right at you. So it's a day for pull back on your own introspection. Work hard. Jupiter's in the 10th house, so your work is becoming more meaningful, more purposeful. Throw your energy into the workplace, not into relationships or friendships. This is just make it about your work.
