This week keep it real and keep a sense of humor nearby to enjoy Thanksgiving, that outspoken Sagittarian holiday where unusual frankness over the dinner table can provoke uproarious moments, outline future battle lines, or clear up family troubles.

Feel the shift as planets move from brooding Halloween towards generous Thanksgiving. Over the last few days Mercury and Venus left Scorpio and entered Sagittarius, the Sun and Moon follow in the days before Thanksgiving. We could easily lose our train of thought this week but could be willing to let go of some resentment, worry, or obsession and feel more prepared for the future.

This Sagittarian lineup also helps us open the scope of our thought and help us move from local politics to national, and from national to global awareness. It can make us impatient, and that impatience encourages spontaneous adventure, but we could skip important steps or take shortcuts unless we remember to think of the consequences of our actions.

Now Mars is still retrograde and out of bounds in verbal Gemini and can tempt us to get caught in a war of words if we’re not thoughtful as we speak. With this Mars we may need to talk a lot, process all kinds of ideas, but need to be aware of the consequences of our words as well as our actions, even when we’re feeling witty.
