Here I am in my fourth full week of being miserably sick with Goddess knows what!  I truly do not have the energy to write or to inspire and my friend Nancy, our resident Astrologer, drops me a line today with how to get through the Holiday chaos.  So to all my good friends, seen and unseen – Happy Thanksgiving and savor the memories of time spent close.

From Nancy:

Thought I would write a few pithy ways to get into the Holiday Spirit, and also survive the madness that encompasses these few days of bliss…  according to the stars.

We are so lucky to have the moon in Pisces, the sign of peace, love, kindness, empathy and caring on Thanksgiving Day — (can you tell I’m a Pisces?)  Alrighty then — let me clue you in on the less positive side of the sign — Pisces can also be whiny, too sensitive, scattered, indecisive (is that the same thing?), and overly emotional…  However — we can concentrate on the positive aspects and not only save our sanity, but enjoy our friends and family during the “crunch” of activity that might be driving us mad…

First our focus should be on thankfulness — there is always something to be thankful for even in these stressful jobless and credit ridden times.  Concentrate on the good, the happy, the funny (always have to have that sense of humor) and the fundamentals that make up our lives.  We choose to be happy, even when there is strife and hardship everywhere; it isn’t always easy, but for these few days a year, I always feel better when I set my mind to be positive no matter the aura of those around me, or the chores that lie ahead.   And — with the Sun in joyous Sagittarius, we have the bonus of looking ahead with more insight and with more anticipation that all will be well.  Yes these two signs don’t always blend well, but in this case the fiery sun tempers the watery moon and if any tears are shed — they should be of joy…

The planet of magic Neptune, and the planet of good luck Jupiter are in Aquarius, making us aware of all mankind and the journey it has taken to get us to this point in time…  We feel love and compassion for those less fortunate, and also for those members of our family who are not doing well on their pathway through this lifetime.  We reap what we sow — and we get back in triplicate what we give out — lavish those you love with caring, kindness and understanding, and you will be rewarded in kind with more love, respect and honor than you would ever believe.

Venus the planet of love and caring is in passionate Scorpio — so the only caveat is to be aware that emotions might overflow — no discussing politics or sports teams…  Mercury is riding alongside the Sun in Sagittarius and will make conversation flow easily and with witty repartee, and yes you do have to laugh at “Uncle Joe’s” jokes (that you’ve heard 100 times before).  All in all a wonderful alignment of the planets to ensure that we will have a joyous and bountiful Thanksgiving Day –

May your day be filled with family, friends, fun and, of course — Food !!!!  Enjoy !!!
