THANKSGIVING FORECAST-POP THE CORK (ps. it's good for everybody)

This Thanksgiving we have  Cancer, Capricorn and Libra in the spotlight. It starts out with the Venus/Jupiter opposition, with the Libra Moon making squares to each planet.  Oppositions and squares create action, and often times are considered nothing but trouble making aspects. But since it’s Venus and Jupiter and a Moon in Libra it’s like “c’mon! What’s sweeter than these guys having ANYTHING to do with one another”. Together, they are cuter than a box of kittens…

Venus is good vibes, all things bright and beautiful; Jupiter really wants everyone to have the kind of good time that can change your life for the better.

It’s a great transit for meeting new people who will become your best bud and meet a new love. Venus in Capricorn is interested in building things of quality. Friends or lovers you encounter during this time will be long lasting and have a lot to offer you.

Jupiter in Cancer, at the core, is really interested in expanding family and your clan. This is a great one for creating new traditions that will likely last.

Moon in Libra will encourage talk…reconciliations…burying the hatchet without drama. This Libra moon will give us all the veneer of grace and the desire for wellbeing.

Even though the Moon in Libra is bound at some point to join in the fray of the ongoing battleground of the Uranus in Aries/Pluto in Capricorn Square, there’s not much heat of the fight; all the planetary goodness won’t allow it. Venus and Jupiter are waving and blowing kisses at each other from across the Zodiac wheel with verve and joy, and the Moon in peaceful Libra telling everyone to just be nice.

Often it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the oil; often it’s angry, cranky Aunt Bitter and Uncle Can’t-Let the Past Go who can ruin the holiday with their constant whining and arguing. This time around, love and compassion along with the unquenchable desire to have fun will over rule any need or tendency for strife.

If we can have Love and Patience with the family members that feels impossible to love and not have it tinged with the obligatory  “it’s family, so you have to love them” … then maybe we can let that kind of goodwill ripple out towards the rest of the hard scrabble world. Maybe that kind of generosity of spirit can make the holidays, and the world a better place.

It’s about time, right?
