With Thanksgiving coming up in the U.S. on Thursday, this is the one week out of the year that we all think extra hard about what we’re thankful for. It just so happens that the planets’ movements will be encouraging and enhancing our feelings of gratitude no matter where we are in the world.
On Monday, vocal Mercury (the planet that encourages us to express our opinions) and caring Venus (the relationship queen) meet up in fiery Sagittarius, giving off teamwork vibes and spreading enthusiasm about what upcoming experiences can teach you. This is a great day to have a Friendsgiving potluck or help your mom bake some holiday pies.
The excitement builds on Tuesday as the sun also enters vibrant Sagittarius. You’ll start to really look forward to being with people you haven’t seen for a while. If you’re traveling, be on the lookout for fellow vacationers who might need your help in some way.
A new Sagittarius moon (our cosmic empath) arrives on Wednesday just as prosperous Jupiter (the planet of fate) heads direct, which should definitely help things continue to flow in the right direction. There’s a spirit of generosity in the air now that feels so right for the occasion. If you’re a recipient of the love and gratitude that the Universe is dishing out today, be sure to pass on an extra helping of it to someone who could use a little boost.
On Thursday, the moon, Mercury, and Venus melt together in a chatty, loving conjunction that materializes in warm hugs, good conversation, and plenty of laughter. Sure, there are lots of things you could be negative about, but what’s the point when there’s honestly so much to be thankful for?!
Your ninth house of adventure and learning experiences is buzzing this whole week, Aries, so don’t pass up the opportunity to do something new.

This is the time to create memories of a lifetime!

All of the fiery energy targeting your intense eighth house this week can cause emotions to erupt as you’re forced to deal with a lot more family togetherness and stress than you’re used to. You are one of the most patient signs, but even you have your limits, Taurus. If you feel like you’re being pushed to your breaking point, take a time out before going back and discussing yet another topic you’d rather avoid. If at all possible, try not to interact with other hard-headed relatives who you don’t see eye to eye with.
