Thanksgiving week is upon us, and with it comes a cosmic cocktail that’s equal parts gratitude and “OMG, did Uncle Jerry really just say that?!” The New Moon in Sagittarius is urging us to dream big and embrace new horizons, but Mercury retrograde is here to remind us that sometimes, the best adventures are found in revisiting the past (and maybe double-checking those travel plans). Oh, and Venus is squaring off with Chiron, so don’t be surprised if some old emotional wounds rear their heads. Basically, it’s the perfect astrological weather for navigating family dynamics with a side of cranberry sauce and a whole lot of grace.
This Week’s Highlights
• Keep connections clear and calm: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius starts Wednesday, just as holiday travel and family gatherings ramp up. Double-check your plans, stay patient, and choose your words wisely to keep the peace.
• Value what matters most: The New Moon in Sagittarius on Friday brings fresh starts, while Black Friday reminds us to prioritize experiences and relationships over the rush of material things.
Let’s dive into each sign to see how you can find your center:
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Embrace Boundaries: Thanksgiving might feel like a battlefield, Aries, with Venus squaring off against Chiron in your sign. Old family feuds or childhood wounds could resurface faster than you can say “pass the gravy.” But don’t let it ruin your appetite! Channel that Mars-Pluto sextile energy and use this as an opportunity to assert your needs and set some healthy boundaries. Remember, you deserve a seat at the table (and a generous slice of pie).
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Seek Serenity: Ready for a cosmic nap, Taurus? The New Moon in Sagittarius is hitting your zone of intimacy and deep transformation, urging you to retreat from the holiday hustle and prioritize some soul-searching. Just don’t fall asleep at the Thanksgiving table!
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Communicate Consciously: Relationships are in the spotlight this week, Gemini. With Mercury retrograde crashing the party in your partnership zone, expect some communication turbulence. Misunderstandings are par for the course, so choose your words carefully and prioritize active listening. Remember, sometimes a heartfelt apology is the best side dish.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Honor Your Needs: Feeling the urge to break free from tradition, Cancer? The New Moon in Sagittarius is activating your zone of daily routines and wellness, urging you to shake things up and prioritize your own needs. Maybe it’s time to skip the annual family football game and opt for a solo hike instead.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Express Authentically: Get ready to unleash your inner child, Leo! The New Moon in Sagittarius is lighting up your zone of creativity, romance, and self-expression. This is your time to shine brighter than the Christmas tree, whether you’re organizing a festive karaoke session or finally confessing your feelings to that special someone.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Find Domestic Bliss: Feeling the nesting urge, Virgo? Pallas entering Capricorn brings a grounded, practical energy to your home and family sector, making it the perfect time to spruce up your space or host a Friendsgiving feast. Just remember to embrace the imperfections and focus on creating a cozy atmosphere.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Speak Diplomatically: Watch your words, Libra! Mercury retrograde is back in your communication zone, making this a recipe for misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Before you unleash a sarcastic comment on your Aunt, take a deep breath and choose diplomacy.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Transform and Thrive: You’re a force to be reckoned with this week, Scorpio. With Mars in your sign and Pluto lending its transformative power, you’re ready to conquer the world (or at least the Thanksgiving dinner table). Just be mindful of Venus squaring off with Chiron – don’t let past financial insecurities sabotage your progress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Embrace Newness: Happy New Moon, Sagittarius! This is your cosmic reset button, a chance to reinvent yourself and embark on exciting new adventures. Step boldly into uncharted territory, trusting that the universe supports your growth and exploration. Whether it’s a fresh project, a new connection, or an inspiring journey, the stars urge you to follow your curiosity and embrace the unknown.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Heal and Connect: Feeling a bit sensitive this week, Capricorn? Venus in your sign is squaring off with Chiron, bringing some old emotional wounds to the surface. Don’t be afraid to lean on your loved ones for support and use this as an opportunity to heal and deepen your connections.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Strategize and Reflect: Time to put on your thinking cap, Aquarius. Pallas in Capricorn is activating your zone of subconscious and spirituality, urging you to tap into your inner wisdom and strategize your next moves. You’ll need a clear head to navigate the social whirlwind.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
Review and Refine: With Mercury stationing retrograde in your career zone this week, Pisces, it’s time to tie up loose ends and review any ongoing projects. Double-check those emails and be extra clear in your communication to avoid misunderstandings with colleagues or clients.
