Should You Say Yes to the Holiday Invite?
Host, accept, or quietly ditch: your Thanksgiving heads-up
I've hosted Thanksgiving for my family since my early twenties.
Last year, I went so far all out that I'd have put Pinterest to shame, and I'd been planning since September. This year, I looked up and realized I'd missed Halloween entirely.
What I did next surprised everyone, including me, and the whole story is in this week's episode, along with the daily ritual that had me laughing out loud right in the middle of it.
Whether you're hosting, accepting, or quietly ditching this year, the sky has a heads-up for you. We have a Full Moon talking to Uranus, a standoff over the invitations, and one very particular Mars in the kitchen.
Here's the short version, so you can plan even if you can't listen today.
Thanksgiving week at a glance
Invitation week, November 13th to 20th: (Sun in Scorpio squares Mars and Jupiter in Leo) Decide on the invitations. Say it kindly, and say it soon.
The plot twist, Tuesday, November 24th: (Full Moon in Gemini, right on Uranus) Expect plan changes. It's not personal. It's the Moon.
The clipboard, Wednesday, November 25th: (Mars enters Virgo) Give your helpers real jobs.
The adjustment, Thanksgiving, 10:30 am to noon: (a rare sky pattern points at the Cancer Moon) Adjust, don't argue.
Dinnertime, Thanksgiving, 5:47 pm: (Moon squares Saturn) Eat a little earlier, and keep the heavy talk off the table.
The soft landing, Friday, November 27th, 8:30 am: (Moon trines Mercury) The softer hour for honest talk.
Put together, it's a week of stubborn signs digging in, a Full Moon that changes the plan, and a Thanksgiving that asks you to bend. Decide early, expect a surprise or two, and let the day find its own rhythm. For the day-by-day details, including the pattern astrologers call a cradle that holds all this tension together, I walk you through it in this week's episode.
Three tools for a full cosmic view of your week
In this episode, we talk about how to use three things together to get a great cosmic view of your days: this forecast, your own chart, and my free What Rules What tool.
What's awesome about this tool is that it uses keywords and derived houses, so you can find the people, places, and things in your chart.
When you look at the transits happening in those houses, you get the full view.
Type in in-laws, sister-in-law, or pets, and it tells you which house that person lives in.
Then pull up your free birth chart, see which sign sits on that house, and compare it to the dates above.
For example, your sister-in-law lives in your 9th house. If your 9th house is Gemini, the Full Moon lands right there on Uranus, so expect a surprise from her side of the family.
And if that house is nice and quiet this month, I share in the episode why the extra wine might just be for celebrating. 🍷
The sky isn't asking you for a perfect Thanksgiving. It's asking you to show up for the real one. And if you'd like the whole story, the restaurant, and the full week walked through, listen to this week's episode or watch it on YouTube. [Episode links go here once it's scheduled.]
