Here’s what the science (and a cardiologist) says.

Your daily horoscope is full of guilt-free glam this Thursday. The moon remains in dramatic Leo, bringing a glitzy vibe and helping you find your inner party girl, even if you’ve felt like a wallflower lately. The standout planetary alignment is between Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This joyful planetary combo connects us to our ability to feel joy, hope, and positivity. If your optimism has been lacking these last few weeks, consider this a magical elixir that can instantly reconnect you to bliss. These two planets are considered “benefics”—your cosmic friends with benefits. So open yourself to whatever comes through today because with Venus making a positive angle to Jupiter at 9:11 pm ET, this sweet, sexy, flirty, welcoming cosmic energy builds up and explodes in the evening. Whether you want love, romance, a hookup, or a fat bank account, these planets are up to the task. Put simply, whatever you desire, Venus and Jupiter (especially as a duo), want to give you more of it. From date night to a meeting about your hot new startup, it’s all possible now.
