guide to the stars WEEK OF Nov. 20 – Nov. 26

Print

Madame G suggests tackling your Thanksgiving preparation early. The Sun enters Sagittarius on Nov. 22 and wanderlust settles into your bones. This is the house of freedom and intellectual pursuits. You may neglect a pie in the oven because you’re pining for adventure while you stare out at the falling snow. Happy cooking!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Dear Aries, you’re feeling bold. You want to take on a few extra commitments this month. Maybe you get a job, adopt a dog, or opt for a new gym membership. Beware of taking on too much at once. Your gym membership could take a back burner to Holiday fun. Don’t sneak a bite of pie just because it’s cooling on the stove. Santa’s watching!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re feeling friskier than a can of cat food. Steady on this month and don’t do anything too crazy. Twenty cats don’t look good on anyone—it’s called hoarding. Clean, prep, and Swiffer the house, your family and friends are coming. They may not be as amused by your “collection” of Cool Whip Tupperware and plastic accessories. Think recycle.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your energy has been up for the last few months. In fact, you’re ready for something stable and solid. Commitments don’t scare you, but it better be worth it. Gemini drops what doesn’t work for them. You don’t have commitment hang-ups, but your loyalty isn’t free..

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It’s time to come out of your proverbial shell. The family is coming and dishes need cooking. Don’t burn the house down chasing the new puppy. He’s cute and more interesting than a green bean casserole, but you have an obligation. Focus on the task at hand. Remember, Thanksgiving only comes once a year. Bust out the apple cider mimosas and enjoy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Adventure is in the wind. You’re feeling the wanderlust slapping your face. It’s not subtle. But don’t be hasty Leo. You have finesse—use it. Don’t be a bull in the china shop. Tell your loved ones you need alone time. Use good judgment and don’t leave your special someone in the lurch, with all the cooking and cleaning. But, do yourself and those you love a favor. Take a day trip somewhere, even if it’s with a good book.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re annoyed with loved ones. They’ve changed a Thanksgiving tradition without your knowledge or advice. How rude! You must carry on bravely. It’s best to ignore their lack of consideration. Take a breath and feel free. The pressure is off, so you don’t have to do a thing. Take a drive, but turn the oven off before you leave.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Dear Libra, you’re forced to balance family and everything else. Is the universe against you? No. It’s just the Holiday season. You need time for that new book and your favorite vino. But family demands take precedence. You love a good table setting. Try something new. Feng Shui Thanksgiving? Put your creative juices to work and the time will fly by.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re ready for trouble, but don’t create it. As the sun leaves Scorpio, you may feel a sense of loss. Your power resides in the forceful sun. Sagittarius pushes you to pursue those passions that feel like freedom. Not all who wander are lost. The same is true of the mind. Write down your thoughts and put them to song, or invent a new language.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The pressure is on and not slowing down. You have mouths to feed and career goals to conquer. Of course, loved ones can’t see the stress. Aloof is your middle name. Your boss can’t see your struggle. She’s not a mind reader. Communication is key this month. Give it your all American best and try. You can’t cook 25 Turkey meals alone. Seek help.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You feel good. This is an exciting time. Are you finally getting the recognition you need? Maybe you finally got that well-earned raise. Whatever the issue you’re ready to live large and loud. So do it! Don’t take on any new commitments. Agree to Thanksgiving dinner, at a friends or relatives house. The pressure is off and all you have to do is buy some pie. Go you!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your insight is well known. Listening is in the job description. The numbers are in and you’ve heard the family demands. You’ll take over the leadership role, though reluctantly. But, the pressure of commitment sticks in your gut. You want to be traveling on the planes overhead, or driving far away. Is that a train in the distance? Perhaps it’s time for “all aboard.” Take a breath and strap in; the Holiday season has just begun.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s no secret you’re sensitive. Perhaps your daughter was a bit snippy on the phone, or you got passed over for Thanksgiving dinner. Life is full of these little trials. You’ll handle each with a smile on your face. But, passive aggression is for immature children. Speak up, or get left out. In this instance, Madame G suggests going with the flow.
