Where's the Love Today?

For May 12
If you want to Love, start with your own body. Treat your body as an exquisite natural system that responds to being loved. The Moon is in Taurus, bringing a greater charge to the senses. What we touch, smell, see, hear all has big effect.
Today we can spend time in the presence of Venus, the ruler of Taurus. Wear something that makes you feel like a lovely woman or naturally lusty man. Savor your words, and make them resonant for others. The Moon forms a powerful trine to Pluto (in Capricorn), heightening the transformative power of sex and sexuality. It's a fine day to strip off artifice, and get naked to your natural self.

For May 11th Outbursts
Yesterday's aggro energies give way to new heart flashes. Emotions are urgent, and in the spirit of big heartedness, you can express yourself boldly. Before you realize what's happening, you're speaking your truth -- directly and in a heartfelt way -- burning away any swampy stagnation in your relationships.
The Moon in Aries met up with high spirited Mars Leo, for a nighttime fire dance. You can find the courage to be who you really are, and that inspires your beloved to do the same. The mood lighting is candlelight, though, as the Moon winds down to dark (on May 13th). The passions aroused can be smoldering and intimate.
Luna makes sweet trines to Venus and Neptune, adding some dreamy romance to this lit up scene. It softens the edges and could bring strangely wonderful serendipity to who we meet while out and about.
For May 10th
A forceful, urgent need to assert yourself brings out your fight. This may mean daring to stand out, apart from the established ways of doing things. To blaze a trail. The Aries Moon meets Pluto in a rough square that jars you out of complacency.
This can disrupt the usual way you relate, and even threaten a relationship. At the waning Moon, it's a time of release. And we're spiraling into the void. Today's aggressive Moon-Pluto square brings pressurized, "dangerous" emotions to the surface. Courageous honesty and forgiveness gets you through.
