Precision of Hasta, Power of Chitra — A Day of Transition and Tactical Moves!
What’s Special Today:
Today marks a celestial pivot point as the Moon remains in Virgo under the steady influence of Hasta Nakshatra, transitioning late at night into the sharp and visionary Chitra Nakshatra. The presence of Dwadashi Tithi—associated with spiritual purification and inner alignment—encourages conscious service and gratitude. As the day progresses, Trayodashi activates, ushering in energies tied to release, closure, and mental letting go. The shift from Vajra Yoga to Siddhi Yoga signifies movement from intensity to spiritual accomplishment, while the succession of Karanas from Balava to Kaulava, and finally Taitila, adds a rhythm of resolve and strategy. The day has a structured yet intuitive tone, ideal for organizing, cleansing, and setting precise intentions, especially before the Full Moon energy intensifies.

The Tithi is Dwadashi until 2:56 PM, after which Trayodashi takes over. The Nakshatra is Hasta, lasting until 12:09 AM (May 10), and thereafter Chitra begins. The Yoga is Vajra until 2:58 AM (May 10), followed by Siddhi. The Karana is Balava up to 2:56 PM, Kaulava until 4:12 AM (May 10), and then Taitila follows.

Shanker’s Tip of the Day:
Today is not meant for overreach — it’s meant for refinement. With the sharp gaze of Chitra Nakshatra approaching and Virgo’s analytical influence in charge, take the time to evaluate, edit, and align with what truly matters. Let your words be precise, your actions cleaner, and your mind uncluttered.
