Your Horoscope for the Week of November 20

Our galaxy's center star concludes its annual tour in the constellation of Scorpio and will enter the expansive horizons of Sagittarius this Tuesday. For the next four weeks, our thoughts and emotional intelligence will be best kept high: not just on the "big picture" but on the common denominators of our shared humanity across geographic borders and narrow identity structure. Thanksgiving is held by a strict Aquarius Moon whose lunar light shines bright on celebrating our differences and working towards equal treatment for all. My bottom line for uncomfortable conversations is this: seek to understand more than trying to be understood.

~*~Scorpio~*~

What a whirlwind of a birthday month, right, Scorpio? Among parties and cosmic collisions in your sign, the Universe is lifting your capabilities, experiences, and relationships to soaring heights if you're proactive about doing the work and inviting more love and forgiveness in your life. When Scorpio Season ends on Tuesday and Sagittarius begins, you'll be searching for how you define security and practice being grounded. The next four weeks will ask you to get concise on your values. The crescent Aquarius Moon in the Thanksgiving skies could either make you a bit tender or tougher when it lights up your most sensitive sector. If someone steps on emotionally crossed wires, get curious with them, not confrontational.

~*~Sagittarius~*~

Happy *almost* birthday, Sagittarius! You have until Tuesday to slowly wake up from your spiritual slumber. Because Sagittarius Season starts at 7:05 p.m. EST, bless and release the experiences and lessons from the past year so you may begin again with the utmost of emotional and psychological availability. On optimistic openness, the crescent Aquarius Moon in your consciousness and communication sector on Thanksgiving will help you keep a detached, curious, and open mind in discussions with family and friends. You might even display your gift of storytelling and center the holiday's quality in meaningful memories.

~*~Capricorn~*~

Clear your schedule, Seagoat. I know you enjoyed a wonderful and very efficient month of socializing, networking, and collaborating with others who share similar dreams, but when Sagittarius Season begins at nightfall on Tuesday, your month long sojourn into closure, surrender, and healing begins. I'm a firm believer that those difficult (yet necessary) actions are practiced best in solitude, so consider going within alone as much as you can. Thanksgiving's crescent Aquarius Moon could inspire deep gratitude on how far you've come to achieve your personal security. Consider empowering your family and friends to do the same.

~*~Aquarius~*~

How's the view from the top of that career ladder, Aquarius? Over the last month, your professional journey has elevated significantly. You've inspired others to see your specific talents and abilities and they've rewarded you heavily for the work you've done proactively to fortify them. Treat yourself! You deserve it (especially on Thanksgiving because the crescent moon in the holiday skies will shine in Aquarius). Teach through demonstration what makes your sign special: equality for all, communal identification, loyalty, and social brilliance.

~*~Pisces~*~

Polish off that LinkedIn profile, Pisces! You should also edit your cover letter sample with your newly acquired intelligence on straightforward communication, because on Tuesday, as soon as Sagittarius Season shines from the night sky, the career success you've been working so hard on is in the stars for you. Lay claim to how capable, powerful, and infinitely creative you are so that when the opportunities arrive, your resonance will be convincing to those who are looking for you. On that note, the crescent Aquarius Moon on Thanksgiving could inspire your family and friends to go looking for you and your sensitive soul because you'll want to spend the holiday in hiding. It's perfectly acceptable not to be 100 percent — just be upfront with others who may make up stories in their head on why you're a little detached to avoid assumptions and confrontation.

~*~Aries~*~

Your month long swim in the emotional depths inside the oceans of Scorpio have left you with a greater understanding on meaningful ideas like sexual healing, intimacy, relationship commitment, personal transformation, and truth-telling, Aries. Personal growth can be messy and regularly painful, so I'm proud of you for doing the emotional work to move forward. When Sagittarius Season begins on Tuesday, you'll have your eyes on just that: the journey forward. On Thanksgiving, the crescent Aquarius Moon will give you the arena to be the Martian champion you're capable of while you socially facilitate equal access, and respectful conversations at the holiday dinner table.

~*~Taurus~*~

Can you handle the big truth, Taurus? When Sagittarius Season begins on Tuesday, the month-long sojourn into radical authenticity, desire, and truth-telling begins for the zodiac's bulls. We all know by now, albeit counterintuitively, that honesty can make others uncomfortable, which isn't your favorite interpersonal reaction given your harmony loving heart. Get prepared for this assignment by being proactively brave, because your honesty is nonnegotiable and without apologies. In the Thanksgiving skies, a crescent Aquarius Moon will inspire you to connect more meaningfully to discipline. You'll want to honor the energy well by being a space of availability for tradition, and legacy at the dinner table.

~*~Gemini~*~

Commitment-phobia, be gone, Gemini! You're astrologically hardwired to crave independence and romantic detachment, but when Sagittarius Season begins on Tuesday, "the talk" could come tumbling out of your mouth. Believe it or not, commitment could set you and your relationship free, Gemini. The next four weeks will prove a benchmark for all romantic experiences and relationships in your life. On Thanksgiving, a crescent Aquarius Moon will inspire the Geminis around the dinner table to dialogue with family and friends on a range of cross-cultural ideas and you'll want to keep conversation topics as expansive and accessible as possible. Starters like "Help me understand…" and "Tell me more about …" is a wonderful disarming strategy.

~*~Cancer~*~

Recess is over, Cancer! I hope you enjoyed your month of joy, romance, and fun in the Scorpio Sun, because when Sagittarius Season starts on Tuesday, the astrological focus for Moonchildren is on healthy self-care, strict personal administration, organization, and mindfulness over the next four weeks. A strong grip on logic could be a problem-solving skill this month and on Thanksgiving during the crescent Aquarius Moon. Holidays are already emotionally intense and you might be apt to take things more personally and invent attack where there is no reason. Do your best to hack into the discomfort, stay non-reactive, and address it with curiosity — not condemnation.

~*~Leo~*~

Did you enjoy your home staycation, Leo? The last month asked the zodiac's royal family to stay in and sift through their bonds on family, emotional security, and home. When Sagittarius Season sets fire to the autumn skies on Tuesday, you'll feel compelled to leave the castle and get back into the warmth of the cosmic spotlight that is rightfully yours. The month ahead promises joy, romantic experiences, and rich social connections and the crescent Aquarius Moon on Thanksgiving is no exception. It offers a powerful context for Leo to understand opposing points of views (which may save the holiday), find the common denominators, and even lean into emotional exposure ... if it strengthens a romantic connection.

~*~Virgo~*~

You can turn your hyperactive mind off now, Virgo. Over the past month, you've expanded your mind and practice on communication, intelligence, learning, and focus. You've fortified your presentiment for brilliance and the Universe knows it. When Sagittarius Season begins on Tuesday, you can slow down and nest. It's astrology's orders! Since you've got your mind on lockdown, now's the time get curious about your heart's intelligence. The crescent Aquarius Moon on Thanksgiving will inspire you. Indulge on the giving and receiving of gratitude.

~*~Libra~*~

Now you can keep it light-hearted, Libra. Your critical, month-long investigation on where you place meaning and how you find security concludes on Tuesday when the Sagittarius sun rises. Where the next four weeks will motivate you to socially connect, discuss what fascinates you with a range of people and stay curious about the inner workings of the mind. Speaking of, the crescent Aquarius Moon on Thanksgiving will you give a meaningful platform to speak your thoughts. Often Libra energy avoids direct truth-telling for fear of ruffling feathers, but it turns out the holiday is your time and place to speak your truth kindly, so own your authentic perspective and share it unapologetically ... if the occasion presents itself.
