Daily Horoscope: May 5, 2023

Venus in Gemini connects with Jupiter in Aries at 12:03 AM, inspiring romance and an easygoing atmosphere, which is quite a contrast to the other astrological alignments taking place today! Venus and Jupiter’s sweet connection can set us up for an open-hearted approach to the rest of the day. For example, when the moon in Scorpio opposes Mercury in Taurus at 3:15 AM, we may feel more inclined to hear people out than jump to conclusions. Discussions could reach a resolution.

The lunar eclipse in Scorpio takes place at 1:34 PM, stirring up deep and intense emotions. Be gentle with yourself and others today. This could be a powerful period for releasing what no longer serves us and embracing the unknown. Change is in the air, and the transformations that take place now can be difficult but also feel fated in some way. The moon opposes Uranus in Taurus at 8:13 PM, perhaps bringing surprising outcomes or unexpected emotions.

All times ET.
