Change is in the air today and growth is inevitable, so stay open to the magic. The moon enters lively Sagittarius during the wee hours of the morning, making a positive connection to underworld-dwelling Pluto that gives your emotions depth and richness.
The May full moon officially peaks a few hours later, so get ready to blast off into new and mind-expanding adventures.
Additionally, romantic Venus and lucky Jupiter join forces today, blowing a kiss to dreamy Neptune — which brings expansion, sweetness, and exciting opportunities to relationships and beyond. Soon after, Venus enters chatty Gemini, making flirting and fun a priority through the month ahead.
