Thanksgiving has transformed from a holiday that celebrates the bounty of the harvest while marking the start of the Christmas Holiday season to a tumultuous week filled with travel (the busiest time of the year), parades, football, turkey and, of course Black Friday (the true make or break day(s) for the majority of retailers). This year, the heavens, too, seemed primed for a veritable “feast” of events; some which could impact us more than that last slice of pumpkin pie, the scores of your favorite team, or that early morning (4:00 a.m. shopping lines??) door buster special could ever hope to.
With the dynamic turmoil that has encircled the globe this year, it is important to look at the star charts to see what is on the horizon both in terms of world events, financial issues, political matters and on a personal scale as well. With so many people in motion and so much energy focused on activities (business, social, and political), the skilled advisors, astrologers and psychics found on Psychic Cosmos.com plan to be extremely busy providing counsel and guidance to navigate the rough road ahead.
To begin with, it is important to remember that all this cosmic activity is taking place in the framework of two major planetary positions. First, Pluto continues to reside in Capricorn and will remain in the Sea Goat’s house until 2023. Transformation on a global scale, often through the destruction of old, outmoded structures and systems, such as the uprisings of the Arab Spring and the increasing world-wide unrest in response to a teetering economic house of cards, will be the backdrop of many unexpected events.
Secondly, Uranus, the Sky Lord, has made its transit into Aries. This position last occurred during 1928 through 1934. Revolution and change ran rampant throughout the planet; from the stock market crash and Great Depression, to the rise of new governments replacing the old monarchies of Europe (although bringing their own problems to the fore as well). Uranus is sometimes referred to as the “awakener” and the chaos that it brings to peoples’ lives moves them to cry out for change and releases a rebellious spirit to toss out the tired and old replacing it with something new.
As a further enhancement of these two planets, Pluto and Uranus are squared bringing about radical changes across the political spectrum. Charismatic leaders both rise and fall bringing new ideologies to the forefront. Creativity and futuristic approaches may well bring about startling developments in science technology. Authority in both the financial and political theaters will be challenged and transformed; possibly both dramatically and traumatically.
With Pluto and Uranus flexing their generational muscles, Thanksgiving week could introduce a catalyst to this event horizon. On November 22nd, old Sol enters Sagittarius. The Archer’s primal nature, masculine energy, add the impatience often felt during the rush of this week, particularly where air travel is concerned. Not even 24 hours later, on November 23rd, the Mercury the Messenger begins his last rearward waltz of the year. With the necessity of clear communications this week on all levels, the confusion that Mercury retrogrades bring will only be heightened and, in turn, leading to misunderstandings and anger across the board.
On November 24th we are going to be facing the astrological impact of both the New Moon and a partial solar eclipse. The impact of the Super Moons this year on both the planet and the weather give potent testimony as to the Moon’s power during this 12 month cycle. Look for the possibility of an unexpected (at least in intensity) storm causing havoc across the central and southwestern part of the country. Volcanic activity may also put in an appearance, as well as, another unlikely location for an earthquake.
Astrologers in the past have noted that the effect of a solar eclipse is defined by the element of the sign that it occurs in. This partial eclipse occurs in Sagittarius, a fire sign. Such an eclipse can mark an increase in discontent in large groups of people, militaristic adventures, conflict on both personal and societal levels and the fall (or perhaps death) of a notable person whose demise will have far-reaching implications.
The holidays are often stressful. With the events of the last couple of years, the uncertainty of the future, and the growing divide between people across the globe, this year’s start to the season could be even more intense. Knowledge, such as that provided by the psychics at Psychic Cosmos, can be an important tool in making decisions and moving forward in this time of change. In truth, this week, we all may feel like pilgrims embarking on an unknown course for a further shore.
