Look up! ✨️ Well actually. . . look LOW along the western horizon shortly after sunset, while the sky is still glowing. That'll be your best chance to see the Moon sitting just slightly above Venus!

In the same area of the sky, follow the dots to connect Jupiter and Mercury, forming a 3-planet parade in the sky!

The Moon will actually perform two more noteworthy conjunctions this month: to the upper left of Venus on the 17th and to the lower left of Virgo’s main star, Spica, on the 23rd, best seen from 9:00 to 9:30 pm ET.

During the two weeks before a full Moon, (so, right now!) seeds absorb more water. That's the theory behind Planting by the Moon, anyway! Plant your above-ground crops and annual flowers this week to see if it makes a difference 🌱🌓

Here's the science behind the theory: Moisture is increasingly drawn to the soil's surface during the period when the Moon is waxing, causing seeds to swell, promoting stronger germination and better-established plants.

Throughout history, people have planted according to the Moon’s phases—from the Ancient Egyptians to the Romans. Pliny the Elder, a Roman historian, wrote about the Moon’s influence on agriculture. Even in completely different regions like China and Africa, the Moon’s cycles were considered in planting practices 🌕️🌾

Today is Memorial Day. This U.S. federal holiday is observed on the last Monday of May to honor the men and women who have died while serving in the military, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle.

In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Consider how we can support and safeguard grieving families and loved ones who are left behind, as well as reflect on why we have the freedom that we enjoy today.
