An Astrologer's Guide To Nailing Thanksgiving Week 2021

As Americans gear up for Thanksgiving, there's some spicy astrological energy going around that's worth knowing about. Here's your weekly horoscope, from the AstroTwins.

That said, if everyone in the group is up for a proactive, philosophical exploration, there's no reason not to have a Thanksgiving think tank. Set some ground rules, like "only one person talks at a time" and "no personal insults." When defending your principles, remember Mercury-in-Sagittarius' finest offering: the gift of humor. Mark Twain, who was born under this star sign, famously said that the human race, "has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."

Before you start pulling skinny jeans and Tickle Me Elmos out of your storage bins, remember this! Virgo energy is famous for inciting perfectionism, and you could easily bite off more than you can chew (and in the process turn a small mess into a major disaster). The trick is to prioritize tasks so you don't overwhelm yourself. Which cleanup mission will make the fastest impact? For instance, if you're hosting guests for the holidays, maybe you tackle the spare bedroom first, then move on to the entertainment areas—and save your cluttered basement for January.

This quarter moon is also the balance point between the two final eclipses of 2021: the November 19 Taurus lunar eclipse and the upcoming December 4 Sagittarius solar eclipse. Last week, you realized you needed to simplify strategy and nail down a smarter plan. But did you remove too much creativity from the equation? Don't get it twisted: Virgo may be structured, but this is anything but a boring sign. In fact, this quarter moon will awaken your inner curator, helping you research and radar in on those special touches that can elevate your game from "mundane" to "magical" just in time for an epic Sagittarius (new moon) solar-eclipse-style debut next week!
