Your Horoscope for Thanksgiving Is All About Protecting Your Peace

The astrology for Thanksgiving is quite wild! Karmic and authoritative planet Saturn ends its retrograde journey in Pisces on November 27, making us confront family members or friends. Remember to implement boundaries because the conversation at dinner should be interesting, since some topics might be off the table.

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio intensifies our emotions—be aware of the words people say because they may want us to be reactive. The best policy is to stay in our lanes and to think before speaking.

Also, make sure to allot extra travel time in case there are issues. Bring an iPhone charger to juice up phones. Due to technological problems that Mercury Retrograde brings, having a distraction (like our devices!) can be helpful to avoid some of the discussions and chaos. Oh, and that ex we’ve been keeping an eye on might pop up randomly in town or at a gathering—let them eat their heart out by seeing how fab you are.

Gobble, gobble and stay out of trouble!

Leaving extra early to surpass holiday traffic is always a 50/50 gamble. Worst-case scenario: You get to the destination early. However, the flip side is that you could arrive on time. If the first situation occurs, drive around and canvas the neighborhood to waste several minutes under the radar.

Setting boundaries isn't possible, especially since you aren't adhering to them either. Keep the chatter light and lofty to avoid putting your foot in your mouth or repeating gossip that could be detrimental to a fellow guest. Think before you speak in the awkward moments and after a few cocktails.

Mishaps may happen with meal prep. Read the directions on the stuffing box carefully and set two alarms to get the turkey looking good. As long as you pay attention to the ingredients and cooking times, you'll thrive—even if the cranberry sauce doesn't jiggle as much as you'd like.

Play a light game of touch football in the yard. Make sure you don't fumble the catch or cause an accident when tackling a member of your brood, which may cause harm or injury. Be gentle with others and avoid getting too emotional and defensive over the calls and victor.

The conversations are endless and draining, so you’ll need an escape plan to evade the overwhelming talk about everything you are and aren't doing right with your life. Take a walk outside to hit the refresh button and ground your energy to calm. Some fresh air will clear your head.

It may be time to introduce your boo or discuss your 'ship with the fam. They will be overzealous and pushy about meeting them (if not now, then in the future). Keep the deets to a minimum to ensure your personal life and romantic ventures aren't the day's hot topic.

Although you are usually super flexible and collected, you might find that your stubbornness comes out on Thanksgiving. Steer clear of debates that might send you into a tizzy and make you grandstand or double down. You can totally get on your soapbox; just don't take it to the extreme.

Consider incorporating it into the evening if you have invested in a karaoke machine or a fun activity. It will give everyone a chance to unwind and laugh. You’ll be able to make memorable social media posts and harmonious music together rather than sharing views on politics or current affairs.

Be cognizant of the gifts you offer the host or receive from others that are guests. You shouldn't expect a lot or give a costly present before Thanksgiving. Everyone needs to be on the same page if they're doing gifting, so that no one can spend outside a specific limit.

Recently, you've been looking inward to understand how to elevate your life. As a result, you are choosing to give back to the community at large by volunteering your time at a local soup kitchen or “Meals on Wheels” to spark a light inside of you that has been dim.

There is never enough time to get into the spirit, because you're running around taking care of everyone else instead of yourself. Turn off your phone and don't check your work email to relish the moment. Be present in order to see that you have much to be grateful for.

You might want to consider taking a vacation away from all the holiday madness and hoopla, which means heading out of town and having a celebration on your own terms. Even if you don't have the traditional fair, you'll have an exciting and amazing time reconnecting with those you love.
