Thanksgiving this year, 2011, is squeezed between Mercury Retrograde at 2:19 am EST Thursday morning - this retrograde lasts until December 13- and an Eclipse. This is an eclipse of the Sun in Sagittarius. This takes place at 1:09 am EST less than 24 hours later. Thanksgiving dinner is sandwiched between the two so watch out for pressure building at this family event! With an eclipse we can often feel as if pressure is building with invisible tension in the air which can distort your feelings of reality. It's good to take a reality check this Thanksgiving cos what sometimes seems to be the case, isn't always.

Added to that, Mercury retrogrades in the truth-seeking missile sign of Sagittarius, and so is the Eclipse. It's good to be prepared, with thick skin and your sense of adventure and sense of humor intact. You'll need these now.

This is also an interesting time in the world. A year ago, life was pretty conservative with the Tea Party dominating the news, and today the Occupy movement and pepper spray seems to be the order of the day. The good thing is that in the last year we have seen that we actually can make a difference. In my 2012 lecture, I predicted all these things and more for 2011 and 2012. I say, "we ain't seen nothing yet." Sagittarius likes to open our mind to big possibilities and that is just what is now going on.

Happy Thanksgiving!
