The day of thanks coincides conveniently this week with movements that reinforce the mood: as the Sun conjuncts with Mars in spirited Sagittarius, our passion for life is reignited.
If the cosmos is serving up something to be grateful for, it also comes with a side of cranberry sauce. Sun squares Saturn encourages us to acknowledge our own struggles and the struggles of others. No bounty is without hard work, it would seem. Being grateful often goes hand in hand with resilience.
Mercury’s harmonious sextile with Venus blesses us as we feast with friends and loved ones this year. The planets bode well for this to be a time of sharing in the gratitude of the work we’ve done and the time we have together. Go ahead and dare to express your feelings about it all, both privileges and pains, and to connect on a deeper level.
