Happy Thanksgiving!

The Sagittarius zodiac month is all about gratitude, taking a look around our lives and finding the multitude of blessings surrounding us. This week I’m indulging myself in that process, observing and exploring the magnificence of this beautiful corner of the world. Indian Summer, Native American prophecies, stunning sunsets, hearts filled with hope and moments of grace. How lucky, how fortunate, how amazing to be on this life-giving, nurturing planet Earth, on this day, in this time.

Blessings, peace, love, joy and wishes for and an abundant, happy, healthy life, illuminated by the light of spirit and guided by the wisdom of the angels. May the Force be with you.

Aries (Mar. 20-Apr.19) Thanksgiving marks the first day of Sagittarius, fire-sign philosopher, enthusiast and philanthropist. Once again, gratitude is your guarantee to success. As Uranus retrogrades through Aries, continue to focus on self-awakening and change. This year has been a powerful turning point in your physical and spiritual evolution. Ride the river and go with the flow.

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20) Several planets in seductive Scorpio – your solar 7^th house of long-term relationships and commitments – guarantee action and interaction with others. Thanksgiving tables and social events promise food for body, mind and spirit. Holiday festivities favor camaraderie and compassion. Enjoy the bounty and focus on what you like rather than what you don’t.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Another powerful week presents itself as energy builds in the fruition of the Gemini full Moon/lunar eclipse. This is a fabulous time to cultivate routines of self-awakened self-improvement via daily practice. Make a list of simple things to do, like take a walk or make your bed – things that are good for body, mind and spirit. Then see to it that you do it – every day!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) The Nov. 28th lunar eclipse guarantees enlightenment regarding your personal spiritual health and wealth. Thanksgiving offers up food and fanfare, friends and family. There are plenty of opportunities to indulge. Take note of your thoughts, emotions and feelings as you interact with others. Pay attention to what your heart says and follow its wisdom.

Leo (July 23-Aug.22) The Sagittarius sun-time is a tonic of hope and optimism for the Lion. Generosity and grandeur, big ideas and great visions characterize the initiatory energy of the holiday season. Smile and be happy, laugh and share the bounty as you identify the most personal, emotional pieces of your soul and spirit. Change begins within. Get to know who lives inside.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep.22) Traveling may be a big piece of the Thanksgiving pie as planetary emphasis in your solar 3^rd house of trips and transitions puts you on the road and in the driver’s seat. Whatever the manifestation, take your time and see the sights along the way. Haste makes waste and speeding actually slows you down. Once you get there, count your blessings and enjoy the joy.

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) With serious, master teacher Saturn now transiting neighboring Scorpio, take a deep breath and count your blessings – you have survived! Your prune-the-bush process continues, however, and has actually just begun. Accepting life on life’s terms, embracing reality and cultivating self-discipline in the process of personal life restructure feels good. Enjoy!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) Although your birthday month has officially ended, your birthday year has just begun. Awakening and awareness are major players on team, providing the necessary angles and attitudes to see the road, negotiate the turns and drive the vehicle. Saturn now in Scorpio delivers a sea change of sober, realistic thinking and acting. Embrace the change.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) Happy birthday month to the Archer. Thanksgiving exemplifies the energy of this optimistic, philanthropic sign by opening the holiday season with grandeur and largesse. This year, however, you may be feeling a bit less grandiose and more serious as timekeeper Saturn plants seeds of ambition in the subconscious. Relax and enjoy, all is as it should be.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) Motivator Mars has just moved into Capricorn, starting engines and fueling action. Take a deep breath, check your oil and count your blessings. The powerful and ongoing personal transformation and metamorphosis from one personal reality to another takes patience and time. Acceptance is your ally. Check motives, identify desires and set intentions.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18) Abundance and grace come knocking and this week is the perfect time to welcome them into your heart and home. As one who identifies and fixes, invents and excites, take a good look at what’s right with the world rather than what’s wrong. Serious career change is on the horizon as you restructure the size and shape of purposeful success. Focus on the present.

Pisces (Feb. 18-Mar. 20) With ruler Neptune long retrograde and recently direct in the earliest degrees of Pisces, you may have felt stationed in some sort of numinous ether or out-of-this world reality. The good news is the influence is great for projects and pastimes that require imagination and creativity. As the planets realign, get down to business and manifest your dreams. Do the work.
