Man, May 2018. Every time that specific month pops up, I just gotta shake my head. I used to think all that astrology garbage was just something my grandma watched on daytime TV, you know? It wasn’t real life, just filler. Then this whole thing went down, and I started paying attention.
I wasn’t even looking for it. A buddy of mine, total Virgo, was going through this insane amount of stress at his company. He was always ranting about it—the new manager was a total snake, the hours were killer, and he felt like he was hitting a brick wall every time he tried to move up. I just told him to chill out and update his resume.
The First Look: Checking the Vibe
He was the one who actually saw the forecast first. Not like some casual peek, but he got a reading from some weird site that was screaming bloody murder about his whole situation. He sent me a screenshot, laughing. It was just so ridiculously specific, I figured it had to be a scam or a generic reading that could fit anyone. But the damn thing was spot on for him.
What did it say? Basically, it painted a picture of a total mess, but one that was necessary. It wasn’t “you’ll get rich,” it was more like, “your whole career house is getting hit by a lightning bolt, and you need to run.”
- The Career Sector: Said there was intense, grinding pressure, but that it was building up to a critical breaking point. Basically, something big had to go.
- Money and Debt: Warned about sudden, unexpected expenses that would feel like a punch to the gut. Said to hold onto cash like it was gold.
- Personal Life: Predicted a massive fight or split that had been simmering for months.
I remember reading it and thinking, alright, half of that is true for everyone, right? Who isn’t stressed about money or a difficult boss? But the way my buddy’s life unfolded that month, it got real, fast.
The Practice: Watching the Wheels Come Off
The practice for me wasn’t writing an article; it was the recording of the whole catastrophic sequence. I started using that reading as a kind of morbid timeline just to see if it would stick.
First week of May 2018, my buddy got into a massive, shouting match with his manager. Not a quiet, closed-door talk, a full-on, office-floor spectacle. He walked out and didn’t look back. That nailed the “critical breaking point” bit of the work forecast. He quit without a backup plan.
He was chilling for a couple of days, confident he’d find something quick because he’s good at what he does. Then the unexpected expense hit. Not a small one. He got a letter—a huge tax bill from a couple of years back that his old, crappy accountant had messed up. It cleaned out nearly all his savings. That was the “punch to the gut” money prediction, right on schedule, mid-May.
I mean, the guy had no job and now no savings. He was totally wiped out and miserable. I kept telling him, “Dude, relax, it’s just a coincidence.” But deep down, I was watching this stuff play out exactly as some vague internet reading had laid it out.
Then came the relationship stuff. He was living with his girlfriend at the time. They had this huge blow-up, one of those fights that you know ends everything. She moved out by the end of the month. The “split that had been simmering” finalized the trifecta.
I was there for all of it. I helped him move furniture, lent him cash (which I immediately regretted when I remembered the “unexpected expense” part, ha!), and just listened to him vent. Because I was right there in the smoke, I saw the timeline match up perfectly with that crazy May 2018 Virgo breakdown. It wasn’t just a general reading; it was his life’s script for that 31-day period.
The Record: What I Learned and Kept
I started keeping tabs after that. I actually went back and printed off the original reading, stuck it in a drawer, and started checking predictions for me and a few other people I knew. Not to live by them, but just to test the correlation. It became my little secret research project.
What I realized is that May 2018 wasn’t about bad luck; it was about clearing the deck. It was a miserable month, sure, but because all that heavy stuff got pushed out—the toxic job, the relationship that was going nowhere—it cleared the space for the next thing. That’s what the fine print of that reading actually meant: things get worse before they get fundamentally better. He got a killer job offer right at the beginning of June 2018 that paid way more and was infinitely less stressful. He met his now-wife about three months later.
I still check back on May 2018 just to remind myself that sometimes, when everything feels like it’s collapsing, it’s not just chaos. It’s the structural support beams being taken out so a stronger foundation can go in. That’s the only damn reason I ever pay attention to this stuff now, because I saw that one month execute its promise from start to finish. I’ve been tracking these wild swings ever since, just quietly logging the details.
