Kanya Rashifal for 8 May: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Kanya rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Kanya (कन्या) is the 6th rashi, 150° to 180° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Mercury, and it holds Uttara Phalguni padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Hasta and Chitra padas 1 and 2. In English it is called Virgo, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Kanya and the classical verse behind it.

3 of the 9 planets support · 6 need attention

The day's main graha: the Moon (in the attention list).

Jupiter in Singh, your 12th (expenses, foreign lands and moksha), until 24 Jul, 3:37 PM: classically not a favourable house, but with the Moon in your 2nd the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so the texts count it supportive; classical reading: low spirits.

Venus in Vrishabh, your 9th (fortune, dharma and father), until 1 Aug, 12:33 PM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: happiness and money.

Ketu in Kark, your 11th (gains and friends), until 24 May, 3:08 PM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: standing and a good name.

The Moon in Tula, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Tuesday 9 May, 10:46 AM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: money matters.

The Sun in Mesh, your 8th (research and hidden matters), until Sunday 14 May, 6:37 PM: classically not a favourable house, but Mesh is its exaltation sign, where the texts say it does not work against you.

Mars in Mesh, your 8th, until 31 May, 12:24 AM: classically not a favourable house, but Mars is in Mesh, its own sign, and also close to the Sun (combust); classical reading: needless risk, money and standing.

Mercury in Vrishabh, your 9th, until 5 Jul, 5:03 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: slow progress in work.

Saturn in Mesh, your 8th, until 8 Aug 2029, 12:32 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: strain.

Rahu in Makar, your 5th (children, education and intelligence), until 24 May, 3:08 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: money and low spirits.

The day changes at 11:38 AM, when Saturn moves out of combustion in Mesh; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Work and Money: Ketu and Jupiter support; the Moon needs attention.

Ketu in Kark, your 11th (gains and friends), until 24 May, 3:08 PM: classically favourable for standing and a good name.

Jupiter in Singh, your 12th (expenses, foreign lands and moksha), until 24 Jul, 3:37 PM: classically not a favourable house, but with the Moon in your 2nd the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so the texts count it supportive; the texts name no separate result of it for work and money.

The Moon in Tula, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Tuesday 9 May, 10:46 AM: classically not favourable for money.

Love and Family?

Love and Family: the Moon needs attention.

The Moon in Tula, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Tuesday 9 May, 10:46 AM: classically not a favourable house; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 8 May, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Kanya: Exact Dates

Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.

Shani's dhaiya (8th) for Kanya: Saturn is in Mesh, your 8th, from 23 Feb 2028 to 8 Aug 2029. The whole dhaiya runs from 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030, with a pause from 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 and from 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. Traditionally this passage is a time for steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • dhaiya Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45

Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Mesh: from 3 May 2029 to 8 Aug 2029.

  • Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 8th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next Sade Sati for Kanya begins on 27 Aug 2036 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 30 Aug 2044, with Saturn stepping out of it from 11 Dec 2043 to 23 Jun 2044.

Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Kanya Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Kanya rashi?

Mercury, the lord of Kanya, is in Vrishabh on 8 May, the 9th house from Kanya, until 5 Jul, 5:03 PM. Mercury rules Kanya in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Mercury also rules Mithun.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Kanya rashi?

On 8 May, the Moon is in Tula; its next stay in Kanya runs from 1 Jun, 12:34 PM to 3 Jun, 3:26 PM: a child born in those hours has Kanya as janma rashi. Kanya's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are To, Pa, Pi (Uttara Phalguni 2–4); Pu, Sha, Na, Tha (Hasta 1–4); Pe, Po (Chitra 1–2). A name starting with one of them gives Kanya as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Kanya rashi?

On 8 May, the Moon is in Swati; its next pass through Kanya begins in Uttara Phalguni pada 2, from 1 Jun, 12:34 PM. Kanya covers 150° to 180° of the sidereal zodiac: Uttara Phalguni padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Hasta and Chitra padas 1 and 2, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Kanya, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Kanya rashi people like?

They are described as truthful and learned, gentle and sweet in speech, of good conduct, with a pleasing face and gaze. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.6, Saravali 23.37 and Hora Sara 29.6 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Kanya and its lord Mercury are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Kanya rashi?

Shani dhaiya is running for Kanya on 8 May: Saturn is in Mesh, the 8th house from Kanya. It began on 3 Jun 2027 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 17 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. The next Sade Sati for Kanya begins on 27 Aug 2036 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 30 Aug 2044, with Saturn stepping out of it from 11 Dec 2043 to 23 Jun 2044. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Kanya rashi?

Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May, 3:08 PM, the 4th and 10th houses from Kanya (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 24 Jun); Jupiter moves into Kanya itself on 24 Jul, 3:37 PM; Saturn moves into Vrishabh on 8 Aug 2029, 12:32 PM, the 9th house from Kanya. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Kanya, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Kanya rashi in English?

On 8 May, at 5:49 PM, the Sun is in Taurus 18°26′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Mesh 24°10′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Kanya is called Virgo in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Virgo need not have Kanya rashi.

House (bhava)
The count of signs from your Moon sign; the Moon sign itself is the 1st.
Reverse vedha (vama vedha)

Bright half (Shukla paksha)
