Brace Yourself: Pluto In Aquarius Is Here & Bringing Big Change

Pluto In Aquarius

Pluto may be a small planet, but it's about to make a big impact on the world. This year marks the beginning of a completely new paradigm with Pluto moving from Capricorn into Aquarius on January 20. It's an auspicious moment in our lifetime to experience — the last time this astrologically occurred was 248 years ago. So, what does this mean for us? Here is what you need to know regarding one of the most powerful astrological transits happening in 2024 — Pluto in Aquarius.

What does the planet Pluto do?

Every planet — and other elements in our solar system — holds a theme. It starts with the Sun representing your personality tendencies and how your soul can be fulfilled, followed by the Moon representing your more emotional needs. The inner planets or celestial points, starting from the Sun to Mars, hold precedence in our human experiences and their needs. In comparison, the outer planets and asteroids such as Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto represent the collective needs and our role in the grand spectrum of creation. Even though we may feel like a little drop in the ocean, some drops can create more significant ripples than others. That is how powerful and impactful we can be in the grand design of creation. What matters is how you can serve and be the best version of yourself- in the light.

Pluto holds the most powerful impact as it is the furthest planet in the solar system (from our view) and is the slowest moving in orbit around the Sun.

Designated to be connected with the Greek god of the Underworld, Hades, this planet involves our need to look beneath the surface and break free from deception. It also holds a pull in exploring hidden agendas we weave or what we entangle ourselves in. Truth and integrity are key when dealing with Pluto’s problems. It is about peeling away the layers of the excessive and getting to the bottom of matters. Pluto exposes what’s rotting beneath the surface and performs a clean sweep to invite renewal and opportunity. Remember that when you clear away the outmoded parts of life, your soul radiates purity. You then find peace and serenity.

As it was demoted to becoming a dwarf planet in our solar system, this planet’s astrological influence is the most powerful. Pluto awakens people to realize what needs to change, which requires release. It revives our inner knowing through the body or psychic impressions. The heaviness or feeling of a slow and uncomfortable burn shows what needs to die, figuratively. Pluto never fears death or faces away the truth in matters. This planet transmutes, alchemizes, and transforms.

Since 2008, Pluto has reigned in Capricorn’s lair — the sign of structure, business, corporations, and the economy. Now that you know what Pluto can do, these matters are disseminated or are under scrutiny. The societal conforms of traditional domestic roles shifted while the housing market remained unstable, and the question of capitalism and fair pay remained in the air. No matter what we initially thought of as security, we had to question what mattered most. As society looked at the ruins of Pluto’s destruction, there was only one way to examine – the soul and its evolution.

What does the Pluto in Aquarius transit mean?

After Pluto took its long hike in Capricorn’s domain, it's now shifted into the transformative sign of Aquarius. This is the official threshold of experiencing the Age of Aquarius. Remember that Pluto disseminates structures, and ever since 2008, it has prepared us for this moment to rebuild a new epoch. Uranus rules Aquarius, and it generates focus on collective needs, humanitarian pursuits, rebellion, and revolution. It can be a shift in our collective consciousness involving societal needs.

Everything will be about collaboration and the bigger picture instead of capitalist or self-serving views. A continued technological progression will take a quantum leap, and the best way to feel grounded in this shift is to focus on service and inner work.

With Aquarius taking the reign involving transformation, it can create incredible breakthroughs and shift our life experience like a 180. Politically, it will shift the constructs of how it has been in the last 248 years. The good news is that it will help people become more focused on what can be done to evolve humanity.

These changes won’t happen overnight since Pluto does take time to pick up speed due to its long orbit. The first wave of Pluto in Aquarius occurred in 2023 from March 23 to June 11 and then re-entered Capricorn. Last year was just the surface of creating a shift in the need to pay attention to collective needs.

Moving forward, Pluto will officially be in Aquarius for good from January 20 to September 1 before returning to Capricorn in its retrograde, which will present an opportunity to reflect on structures and what you wish to leave or take with you. Then, it will stay in Aquarius from November 19, 2024, to March 8, 2043. This will be a long transit, and in 19 years, we will have the chance to understand what paradigm will be shaped — as a collective whole.

Who will experience the significant shift from Pluto to Aquarius?

Since Pluto represents the collective, that will be everyone. We will all feel the call to step up and initiate and be the change. If you do have Aquarius placements in your birth chart, you'll especially feel this transit. Transformation and intense evolution will be something that you cannot ignore. Pluto will want you to pay attention, as it will help you grow and be an incredible outlet for this auspicious transit.

Note that if Pluto is hovering over your inner planets in the birth chart, such as the Sun (self), Rising (identity/expression), Moon (emotions), Mercury (communication), Venus (love), or Mars (motivation), your personal life matters will transform these next 19 years.

If you don't have any planets in Aquarius, you can look at the astrological house in your birth chart that rules Aquarius. Pluto will be stirring up changes in this realm of your life story. For example, if Aquarius rules your fifth house, expect a transformation in alignment with your creations and your perception of love. Another example is if Pluto generates your tenth house, you will experience a need to evolve your career and can get rebellious by needing to break free.

Pluto In Aquarius Is A Once in a Lifetime Experience

Even though a transit like this sounds intensive because of all the change and transformation alike, know that Pluto comes around every 248 years, and this can sound off alarm bells such as revolution, rebellion, and quick advancements. Pluto is the planet that has to do with these matters, but it also beckons you to look deep inside your soul and analyze your inner self and its ecosystem.

Please take a deep breath and observe what it is about your life that you desire to shift.

This is how you can benefit from Pluto in Aquarius. You may feel something stirring inside you as you flip through news channels or scroll endlessly through your social media feed, desiring to change the world. Understand that for Pluto to work its magic, you must invest time in what needs to transform in your life.

As one soul lights up in complete wholeness, another awakens to follow.

What better time to adjust and understand your flow than now?

This week will be jam-packed with planetary action. To kick off with Gemini Season, we cross paths with Underworld again as the Sun trines Pluto on May 22. Reminder: Pluto retrograde is happening, meaning we can see whatever needs to be released. The Sun now shines an amicable light on Pluto, granting us acceptance and the ability to gracefully break free from the confines of what controls us.

This is all happening in time for the big event, the Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 23. It's a period of freeing yourself and becoming more open-minded and optimistic for your next chapter. Endings are inevitable in some way or form, but is it truly a bad thing? Think about it, analyze the state of your surroundings, and assess what brings you happiness and what isn't at this point in your journey. Metaphorically speaking, this full moon will ignite the silver lining in your journey. No matter what needs to be released in your journey, do so to attract the life you deserve.

Speak aloud the mantra, "I believe in me."

Alongside the full moon, Venus will align with Jupiter in Taurus at an anaretic degree of 29. This means that all that has been transpiring in your relationship or creative ventures has reached its peak, and therefore, you have the power to wield its direction. Venus will also form a supportive position with Neptune, showing you the beauty of the lessons learned in your love story while helping you recognize its integrity. This full moon will grant you the space to process all you have built so far in your journey and learn how to find your path to fulfillment.

By the end of the full moon spell, Venus ingresses into the sign of Gemini, manifesting a flirtatious vibe into your romantic sphere. With all the seriousness of building or processing your love story, it's time to turn the tables and see what you can do to breathe life back into your partnerships. This involves primarily communication and engaging with the mind. Besides the pleasure of what Taurus has brought these last few weeks, Gemini spins a new tempo that aligns with banter and playfulness. Jupiter, the ruler of this Full Moon event, will face Neptune in an amicable exchange, renewing your beliefs while also sparking curiosity by exploring the bigger picture of what could be in your journey.

Openness is the gateway to freedom.

Jupiter enters Gemini by the end of the week, while Venus trines Pluto on May 25. Moving forward, we are not being led by blind faith. We will embrace ideas and conventional thinking. Listening carefully and being open-minded to others' insights will ignite even more inspiration than you ever thought possible. Setting aside the conforms and old doctrines of what worked before will push you ahead of the curve. As Venus meets up with Pluto, a transformation is in store regarding your love and finances. Evolving your perception of worth and connections will align with your mindset. Meeting in the middle with your ideas in your partnership through openhearted discussions will open up pathways of growth and progression.

Simply put, Zoë Kravitz & Channing Tatum are just made for each other. The couple met while filming Blink Twice (Zoë directed, Channing starred), and after they went viral for that Brooklyn bike ride, the rest is history. Well, the trailer for Zoë's directorial debut is finally here and it looks absolutely INSANE. No matter how many times I watch the trailer I have no idea how it's going to end. Which, honestly, makes me more intrigued than ever. Whether you're a fan of crazy movies or you just want to bask in the glow of Zoë and Channing's love, here's everything you need to know about the new Channing Tatum movie. Read up on The 33 Most-Anticipated 2024 Movies to see what else is coming this year — it's a great lineup!

What movie is Zoë Kravitz directing?

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

The latest addition to the Zoë Kravitz movies list is Blink Twice, but it's actually not a movie she's starring in — Zoë's serving as director! The movie, as well as Zoë and Channing's involvement, was announced in June of 2021 and I'm so excited that we finally have a trailer.

What is Blink Twice?

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Amazon MGM Studios' Blink Twice follows Frida (played by Naomi Ackie), a cocktail waitress who gets whisked away by the wealthy and intoxicating Slater King (Channing Tatum). It doesn't take long for Frida to get into Slater's good graces — or his private island. The more breathtaking sights Frida sees, and the more bubbly she drinks, the more she falls in love with the island. That is, until she realizes just how much terror is boiling under its beautiful surface. The combo of danger and edge with the dreamy island backdrop is totally giving The White Lotus and I can't wait to see how the action unfolds!

When is Blink Twice coming out?

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Blink Twice hits theaters August 23, 2024. It's one of our most-anticipated summer movies for the year!

Who's in the Blink Twice cast?

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

In addition to Channing Tatum and Naomi Ackie, Blink Twice stars Christian Slater, Alia Shawkat, Geena Davis, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Liz Caribel Sierra, Levon Hawke, Trew Mullen, Saul Williams, Cris Costa, Simon Rex, and Kyle MacLachlan.

Each of these actors can balance a grounded presence with absolute insanity, and I can't wait to see who ends up being a good guy and who ends up being more of a mastermind — unless, of course, everyone has a little bit of both in them.

How did Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum meet?

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum met thanks to Blink Twice. However, they actually worked together before in 2017's The Lego Batman Movie (which is hilarious considering Zoë would later star opposite Robert Pattinson in 2022's The Batman). But since the movie was animated, they weren't actually onscreen together.

Then, Mars, the planet of drive and motivation, enters the stable sign Taurus, allowing us to build a solid foundation aligned with our future ambitions.

For the second half of the month, Venus and Mercury enter the nurturing sign Cancer, inviting us to hold space for conscientious-filled discussions and security in our connections. Things will begin to heat up as Vesta, the asteroid of devotion and keeper of the sacred flame, enters the fire sign Leo. It will reawaken our inner fire while igniting a new phase in our journey involving our devotion. The Sun's journey into maternal Cancer manifests a period of self-care and emotional needs. The full moon in Capricorn heralds a moment for you to analyze the state of your structures while letting go of the outmoded in your life. The month wraps up with the structure-oriented planet Saturn retrograde, which gives you a chance to contemplate the kind of life you have been building.

May was epic with the solar flares...did you see that? It was a month filled with personal revelations regarding our self-worth and integrity moving forward. June will take these notions a notch higher regarding our communication with others and even analyzing our inner dialogues. It will be your chance to act on your goals (mid-year reset, anyone?) and witness the changes as you continue to master your thoughts. The cosmos begins its dance on Monday, June 3, when Mercury, the planet of communication and ideas, enters its dignity sign, Gemini. This period extends clarity and speed in our dialogue. While airy Gemini can spiral out in different directions, Mercury thrives in this sign, as it will help us feel more open and receptive to ideas from various sources. The more curious and unbiased you are, the better.

The new moon in expressive Gemini on Thursday, June 6, provides a perfect opportunity to socialize and attend events. As Venus is in exact alignment with the new moon, it can lead to experiences filled with love, laughter, and joy. It will be a fun night to remember. Book an outing with your friends or arrange a solo date—this cosmic event will be serendipitous. That weekend, Mars, the planet of motivation, enters the earthy sign Taurus on Sunday, June 9. This planetary ingress will slow things down at a comfortable pace. Ensuring you observe before diving headfirst into things that you may regret later. You will feel more at peace. For those who are impatient (guilty), get that yoga mat out or take long nature walks to work off that built-up steam.

Venus, the love planet, and Mercury enter Cancer on Monday, June 17, shifting our focus to deepen our connections with others while holding heart-to-heart conversations. These two power planets merging on the same day will ignite a breakthrough in your perception of love and values. Expressing your vulnerability will help you see where you stand in your relationship(s). The truth will set you free. Expect your heart to sing as Vesta, the asteroid of self-devotion and commitment, enters the sign Leo on Wednesday, June 19. This transit will ignite a stirring in your core, giving you the courage to step up and claim your happiness. The fire inside will burn stronger as you remain invested in your passion and grit. Allow yourself to take center stage and share your gifts. The world is waiting.

Waterworks Cancer season begins on Thursday, June 20, with the Sun moving into the sign of the crab. This cosmic event heralds the beginning of summer, and we begin to embody warmth, compassion, nurturing, and emotional sensitivity. Hosting potlucks or social outings can be a great way to commemorate your Cancer friends. Focus on building solid, authentic connections. We deserve to rebuild after the eclipse season back in April.

The full moon in Capricorn on Friday, June 21, will bestow us the ability to analyze the state of our structures. Many will realize what needs to be done to rebuild solidity after what has not been fully cultivated. This period can be a bit of a "Debbie Downer," with Saturn in intense opposition to Juno, the asteroid of marriage and committed partners. If you are in a relationship, you will understand what needs to improve or be at peace by cutting your losses and moving on.

Speaking of Saturn, this month concludes with it entering its retrograde phase on Saturday, June 29. Contemplate what kind of life you are building these next several months. Your awareness of karma will heighten, and becoming aligned with integrity and humility will alchemize. A review of your priorities and commitments will inevitably line up.

Taking a class, working with a coach, or reading a self improvement book can be an excellent place to begin this venture. Later this month, when Venus and Mercury enter Cancer, it will power up your career and public status zone. It will be your chance to position yourself in a role that helps you step into your power. It can be a challenging time to confront injustices with authority, but it enables you to understand the deeper meaning behind your motivation. The full Moon in Capricorn phasing into your emotional security and home life sector will reveal the truth, enabling you to see the full spectrum behind your past choices and helping you shape better outcomes in your story.

This month will feel like an out-of-body experience, Scorpio. Gemini season invites you to retreat and observe your inner self. Mercury and Venus will travel through the house of intimacy and joint resources in the first half of June, presenting a different route to consider involving your connections.

Mars in Taurus will embody your partnership zone, showing you the path regarding your relationship direction or approach to love matters.

Mercury in Gemini aligned with Venus will infuse your relationship zone, prompting you to take matters into your own hands rather than leaving things to chance. The new moon in Gemini will open a new path regarding your relationship status or business ventures. Communication and ideas will optimally flow as you hold space for others to express their feelings. Listen first before reacting. When Mars enters your health zone, your energy will build, and it can spiral into irritability if left unmonitored. To master these next few weeks, transmute your pent-up energy by incorporating an exercise and self-care routine. Mercury and Venus will be in your intimacy and resources sector for the second half of the month. These two planets will stir changes within your internal environment, helping you face unresolved matters involving money and long-term investments. If you feel out of sync with yourself, book an energy healing session or reserve a quiet space for clarity to kick in. The full moon in Capricorn will close a chapter involving your debts or shed light on how you deal with money. Learn how to develop a better relationship with money by releasing bad habits regarding spending or overextending your energy to others. It is safe for you to be thrifty.

Capricorn

Capricorn, you will invoke a new approach to your health and well-being this month. The new moon, in line with Venus in Gemini, enters your health zone, infusing you with the need to beautify your mind, body, and spirit self. With your overly ambitious nature, it's easy to overlook your body's needs, but this month will be crucial for you to consider this new approach because your work life is about to get even busier. Manifest what needs to change regarding your daily routine, and your body and work life will even out. The great news is that Mars is entering your romantic and fun sector, and your social calendar will be jam-packed with dates. It is an opportunity for you to incorporate more play to attract better experiences or dating prospects. The second half of the month promises romance, commitment, and stimulating connections. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer phasing over your relationships sector will nurture your connections while creating the necessary changes. Remember to factor in empathy if you seek answers regarding your relationship direction – business or romantic. The full moon in your sign will spotlight your self-image and heightened perception regarding your place in the world. Show your true colors and share your radiance.

Aquarius

Passions run high and will be rose-colored and multifaceted in expression for you this month, Aquarius. Gemini season leads with the significant luminaries such as the Sun and Moon in your romance and creativity zone. If you have gone through a dry spell in love, this new moon and Venus will reignite creative inspiration and zest in your life. As though on the prowl, your thoughts and love life are fertile with endless possibilities, and it can be challenging to ground yourself. Embrace this side of you, but don't forget to assess before leaping with romantic prospects or passion projects. Vesta in Leo will occur in your relationship and commitment zone, igniting a connection and devotion from someone from afar. This transit allows you to reach out and form heart-centered connections with pure purpose. Incorporate transparency to get answers. The full moon in Capricorn residing in your subconscious and dream realms will cleanse old subconscious patterning and let go of past resentments. Clear away the old to allow the Universe to guide your next steps. Saturn retrograde these next few months will help you rebuild your self-worth while strategically planning your new passion pursuits.

Pisces

Home and family life will be your primary focus this month, Pisces. Mercury and Venus are aligned in this sector, prompting you to analyze your family and emotional security priorities. What makes you feel safe? The planets Mercury and Venus beckon you to research the deeper meaning behind your insecurities, and the best place to begin this venture is to analyze your family line. Healing your past wounds can be found through epigenetics, reiki, or prayer. The new moon in Gemini will help you turn over a new leaf regarding any past unresolved issues, enabling you to set down new roots. It can be through family planning, moving, or renewing your family connections. When Cancer season begins, you will feel more in flow and centered due to Venus being in a supportive position, and Mars will assist you in grounding your creative ideas. Deciphering your concepts will be seamless. Take charge of your ambition. The full moon in Capricorn will secure your connections with friends and networks as you express your vulnerability. Any unresolved issues or burned bridges can be rebuilt during this lunation. This Saturn retrograde will allow you to review your next moves personally and professionally while helping you preserve your energy. You will experience renewal as you remain invested in your well-being.

The Birkenstock Arizona sandals are undeniably iconic. With their two-strap design, cork footbed, and signature buckles, they’re instantly recognizable and super stylish. Though the Arizona sandals are popular, Birkenstock continues to cook up innovative styles that are worthy of year-round wear. These 11 fan-favorite Birkenstock shoes will amplify your best summer outfits!

Arizona Soft Footbed Suede Leather Sandals

I had to mention the OG! These sandals are fitted with Birkenstock's original footbed, which is specially designed to enhance your gait and coordination, improve stability, and provide arch support. This means they're stylish and practical, which is a win-win, if you ask me.

This design has a shorter break-in period than you'd expect. Per Birkenstock, "the soft footbed has an integrated latex foam cushion... it offers excellent comfort from day one."

The upper is a serene green suede and boasts two adjustable straps with color coordinating buckles.

The Arizona Soft Footbed Suede Leather Sandals currently come in 3 other colors for $140.

Arizona Flex Platform Leather Sandals

Part of the Papillio by Birkenstock collection – which primarily amplifies platform styles – this fresh take on the Arizona sandals flaunts a flexible platform sole, smooth black leather throughout the shoe, and a contoured cork-latex footbed that shapes to your step with wear. This pair is great when you want a little boost!

The duo straps are reflective of the OG Arizona sandals, but look a bit more polished in this iteration.

The Arizona Flex Platform Leather Sandals also come in light gray for $220.

Theda Leather Sandals

Another unique Papillio silhouette, the Theda sandals havelots of cushion along the ankle straps and footbed, so they're bound to be the comfiest sandals you own. The straps that span the ankles and toes are looped, securing with velcro. Their smooth leather construction offers an elevated air.

These Birkenstock sandals are currently shoppable by members-only access by creating an account with the brand. They also come in black for $180.

Arizona Big Buckle Natural Leather Patent Sandals

Let's get into the fun summer colors! Birkenstock has a lot of them, but this pink is just stunning. The gold hardware flatters virtually any skin tone and feels especially fitting for a warm summer vacation – or even when you just want a little pop of brightness! They're essentially the same shoe as the classic Arizonas but with enlarged, contrasting metal buckles that draw the eye in. The natural leather upper on these sandals has an exceptionally shiny finish for even more curb appeal.

The Arizona Big Buckle Natural Leather Patent Sandals are shoppable in 8 other summer-ready colors for $170.

St. Barths Leather Sandals

I see you, unique blue hue! Sporting maybe the flattest Birks silhouette to-date, the St. Barths Leather Sandals scream cool girl. They stray from the norm with two woven buckled straps, silver hardware, and low-key rubber sole (which Birkenstock describes as "city-ready"). The smooth leather insole offers total flexibility and cushion for stepping out.

This design also comes in all black for $230.

Boston Soft Footbed Suede Leather Clogs

These shoes are pretty much my #1 favorite of the Birkenstock lineup. Cool girls wear clogs! I'd say they're just as iconic as the Arizona sandals, and they're really nice for when you don't necessarily want to show some toe, but still want to wear slip-ons. The soft suede material on these gives a casual, already worn-in vibe, so they're super easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Opposite the lightweight sole is the original Birkenstock footbed made with an extra foam layer for utmost softness!

The Boston Soft Footbed Suede Leather Clogs comes in 4 other easy-to-pair colors for $160.

Franca Birko-Flor Embossed Sandals

These deliver such a clean look, and I love it. The white colorway is spruced up with some shimmer in an embossed croc pattern. The classic contoured cork-latex footbed molds to your feet with time and wear, which won't be hard since you'll wanna wear these all the time. The trio of straps boasts adjustable silver buckles so you can find your perfect fit.

The Franca Birko-Flor Embossed Sandals come in 3 other fun pastel colors for $100.

Arizona Chunky Suede Leather Sandals

The Papillio line strikes again with these timeless slip-on sandals! The grooved chunky white sole gives 'em some playful personality for frolicking around in this summer. They have the classic suede upper with two buckled straps, and the contoured cork footbed will adjust to your perfect fit with time and wear.

The Arizona Chunky Suede Leather Sandals also come in 3 other colors for $135.

Arizona Essentials EVA Sandals

Made from super flexible EVA, this ultra lightweight, shock absorbing, waterproof (hello, beach days!) take on the Arizona sandals feel like the perfect pair for summer adventures. They still have signature adjustable buckles, too, so you can adjust the fit as you go!

The Arizona Essentials EVA Sandals come in 12 other colors for $50.

Almina Nubuck Leather Sandals

The wide straps on these neutral sandals add stability to your step and a touch of style you don't normally see from Birkenstock! The cork wedge is stylistic of the Birkenstock brand, but it offers a unique take since the cork is *actually* visible. These shoes flaunt a nubuck leather upper and only one adjustable strap of the two. They have the classic black sole with a good amount of traction!

The Almina Nubuck Leather Sandals comes in two other colors for $135.

Boston Chunky Suede Leather Clogs

Even the Boston clogs got the Papillio treatment! These have a very chunky EVA sole that feels cushy when you walk in it. The green suede material on the upper feels ultra-soft and velvety from the get-go. The cork-latex footbed will mold to your feet with time and wear, too.

The Boston Chunky Suede Leather Clogs are shoppable in 3 other colorways for $150.

Ask literally any Swiftie and we'll say Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce are meant to be. Whether they're spending time together in Las Vegas, on a Bahamas vacation, or Travis is talking about the singer on his New Heights podcast, it's clear that they're in L-O-V-E. Well, apparently they're more in love than ever because according to ET (a publication that's accurately released news about the ultra-private singer before), Taylor & Travis could be saying "I do" before long.

It looks like all our teen drama tropes about athletes and artists were true because according to an ET source, "Taylor and Travis are doing amazing, and their loved ones see an engagement coming sooner than later. They make a great match and there's no question about that."

This is one wedding I'll need ALL the details about if and when it should happen. Will Travis propose to "Love Story"? Will Taylor's cats be the ring bearers? (This would actually be so incredible and I would love to see it).

One thing I'm thinking about more than any other is Taylor Swift's wedding color palette. "The Alchemy" singer is such an intentional and detail-oriented person that I know she'll think about every little aspect of the day, including which colors to include in the ceremony and the reception. I would LOVE for the colors to feature gold because of how she sings about love being "golden like daylight." That would be such a beautiful, full circle moment!

Not only did the ET source talk about Taylor and Travis, but also their friendship with Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper! Doubles dates are always a good idea IMO and it's fun to see these A-listers living it up with their friends, too.

"Taylor, Travis, Gigi, and Bradley have a blast when they get together," the source continues. "They appreciate that they can all be themselves around each other and enjoy double dating and spending time with each other." Feeling inspired?
