Sagittarius The Archer (Nov. 22-Dec. 20):
This holiday will be full of laughter, talk and play. You will be in touch with someone at a distance, perhaps one you haven’t seen for a long time. Relationships to siblings or roommates are highlighted. Old wounds, if they exist, may be healed.
For All Signs: The “Hallmark Card” Thanksgiving features large families happily preparing food together. There is a table groaning with a large turkey, multiple side dishes, and relishes. On the sideboard we see at least two or three varieties of pie. Let us give thanks that in spite of all our troubles, we are in the United States. We might have been born in a country without clean water or one that is constantly involved in war onsite and skirmishes daily that slay civilians. Institutions are failing the common people, but it definitely could be so much worse. What we have at hand is a cleansing of the planet and reworking of the financial system. It may hurt, but not as much as if the neighbors were having their houses blown up. Have a blessed holiday with someone or more that you love.
Aries: This holiday week probably involves travel and play. Even if you don’t travel, persons from a distance will be coming to see you or contacting you in ways that are positive. One relationship is tense and challenging. Agree to disagree, at least for now.
Taurus: Overall this is a favorable time for family and friendships. There is an issue with someone that causes one of you to throw up a smokescreen. You can probably keep up the farce through the holiday, but by the weekend it will be important to put your cards on the table and look at the issue squarely.
Gemini: During this time frame you are focused on your primary relationship. Others join in until you have heard from almost everybody within the family. If you are not traveling this week, then others are coming to you.
Cancer: The crabs are happiest when they can share time with loved ones. And the aspects this Thanksgiving are especially favorable for communing with your children as well as family of origin. Probably every soul you consider a part of your inner circle will come by or check in at the very least.
Leo: The holiday weekend will be a joy for those with children nearby. Romantic life is a pleasure as well. There may be tension in the air around a spouse or a partner. Become your brightest self and rise above it, lest the irritation spread to others.
Virgo: Your holiday is likely at home this year. The event will be small and intimate, with a limited number of guests. After the weekend you shift into organization mode, cleaning out closets, drawers, or file cabinets.
Libra: There may have been a significant shift within the family that casts a shadow over your mood. It might even be bothering your state of health at the moment. Do your best not to play such games and choose activities that will be mood-brightening and fun.
Scorpio: You may be the center of attraction at this holiday celebration. You might have racked up a few points at the workplace as well. On the surface love life is going well. Underneath there is an issue that has been brewing for awhile.
Capricorn: This is a good time to take an in-depth survey of your relationship to your career. (This could also include observing yourself in relation to clientele.) Study yourself first and determine whether any harbored anger is causing you to sabotage the connection.
Aquarius: This is a holiday that will be busy with friends and loved ones. Your attitude is bright and generally thankful for a good life. One family member may disappoint you by not doing what is expected, but in the grand scheme it is a small thing.
Pisces: You may retreat into a few days of R&R. Partying may not appeal this year. Perhaps you need to be still and meditate. Watch for a surprising piece of news near the 30th that may jerk you out of the meditation.
