After the intensity of the Full Moon in Scorpio last week, the Sagittarius Moon gets us to embark on a new journey. On Tuesday, May 5, the Capricorn Moon highlights what we have been ignoring or avoiding. Since Saturn rules this lunation, we can expect more responsibilities, but we also have the tools needed to succeed.
The Aquarius Moon on Friday, May 8, brings a vibrant energy that makes our connections feel more meaningful. This is an energizing period for our relationships as it allows us to have enlightening conversations and express ourselves with more confidence.
