May FIFTH (As) the Day of PRACTICAL AWAKENING:

 ACE of Spades: "Embodied in your card, which traditionally has been identified as a symbol of death, is also the key to the mystery of life. Unfortunately, for the majority of those who are identified with this card, the mystical meaning of this symbol is lost. If you belong to this category, this card becomes a symbol of labor, and all too often you try to solve all your problems by the sweat of your brow or through questionable schemes. But, as you read these lines, realize that your card is also a symbol of spiritual wisdom, and as the life pattern portrayed in your card is not a particularly easy one, keep this in mind. It may help you cope with and transcend the many challenges which appear to be part of your destiny.

"The temptation to indulge in bitter despair may be a real hazard. Remember, from the meta physician's viewpoint, despair and inspiration are often considered to be a step apart. Discipline and vision are essential key words toward the overcoming of your problems. In the process, you may also become a source of inspiration to others." ~Arne Lein, What's Your Card?

TAURUS II - The Week of the TEACHER May 3-10: Those people born in the Week of the Teacher are mainly involved in the development of ideas and techniques. No matter what the vocation or avocation of a Taurus II, they have a message to share. Verbalizing their ideas and observations, generating discussion, and leading by example are all Taurus II's favorite activities. It can be said that they have a calling for imparting information and, more importantly, presenting it in a manner that others can understand.

May FIFTH the Day of PRACTICAL AWAKENING: when you combine Ambition with the lucky 7  of Diamonds Ego card the May 5th people should be rich.  However, those born on this day appear to use their powerful cards to better society:

Karl Marx, is more relevant today than he was 150 years ago.

Søren Kierkegaard, is my new Astro-Psychology hero b/c he is often sited by Jordan Peterson in his lectures. Kierkegaard, wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment.

Justinian, sought to revive the empire's greatness and reconquer the lost western half of the historical Roman Empire. Justinian's rule constitutes a distinct epoch in the history of the Later Roman Empire, and his reign is marked by the ambitious but only partly realized renovatio imperii, or "restoration of the Empire". A still more resonant aspect of his legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states His reign also marked a blossoming of Byzantine culture, and his building program yielded such masterpieces as the church of Hagia Sophia.
