REGULARS
posted 11/19/2007
NOV 12-18
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This weekend Uranus goes direct. I'm speaking, of course, about the celestial body. This will have a wonderful effect on your love life in ways you can't possibly imagine. Do you hate it when people say, "You'll meet someone when you least expect it"? Well, learn to live with it, Scorp. The stars predict some fabulous romantic surprises, ready or not.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Don't knock off work too early this Wednesday, Sag — you'll be a pre-holiday office superstar. Of course, if you're starting the holiday early, you've got a romantic weekend to look forward to. The full moon on Saturday will help with commitment issues, though because we're all at different points in our journies, I'll leave it up to you as to whether that means a lifetime commitment, or just giving someone your real phone number.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Some folks like to put all their Thanksgiving leftovers in one enormous cranberry-sauce-topped sandwich. To others, this is sacrilege: the turkey must not touch the peas, the stuffing shall remain segregated from the spuds. However you handle the dilemma, remember that other people's opinions are valid, even if they're different from yours. But feel free to steal the last few pieces of pie — it's every man for himself at the dessert table.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Some big planets are turning direct, and that means big money to you, Aquarius. With Neptune's recent leap forward and Uranus going direct this week, you should reap some great rewards. If you feel you've been stuck running circles the past few months, that cyclical lap track will straighten out into a nice, long country road. Money matters will also be looking up, so you can build your own damn track, any size or shape you like.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Home is where your heart is this week, Pisces. If you're hosting a Thanksgiving feast, you'll find yourself surrounded with friends and food. If you stay as far away from familial gatherings as possible, then it's the perfect time to redecorate, revamp, or reorganize your home. Whether you like big groups or prefer quite time with your stamp collection, this week you can make home anywhere you please.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
Thanksgiving should bring more than an overdose of tryptophan for you, Aries. Whether you're traveling to foreign lands or a nearby friend's, your journeys will be smooth and exciting. And if you're staying close to home, expect friends to inundate your hearth and kitchen. Make extra servings of stuffing, yo, and unbutton those jeans.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Though it's fun to say "Uranus turns direct," the fact that Uranus will do just that on Saturday is no laughing matter. When a planet moves forward like this, it shakes up your world — in a good way. Expect strong, forward motion in your career, with your creativity peaking near the end of the week. You'll find other strong, forward, world-shaking activities to engage in, as well, with Uranus in tow.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
This will be a banner week for you, Gem. The planets are moving in a lovely pattern that will bring you plenty of confidence and success at work. Whether you're inspired to start a new creative project, or you receive praise from higher-ups, you'll be feeling fine. Just make sure to take the weekend off, because that's when romance will begin to sparkle.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)
By Saturday's full moon, you'll be feeling run-down and in need of some good, old-fashioned bed rest. Thankfully, the stars say stay home and chillax. But they also indicate you'll be lucky — nay, smokin' hot — in the love department. Good thing you're a multi-tasker: lounge in bed, make the amore. Then eat some leftover turkey, and you've got one hell of a post-Thanksgiving plan.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)
Thursday will mean more than streaming football games and double helpings of pumpkin pie. The stars predict you'll be the happy center of a swirling social scene on T-day. And did I mention the romance? Did I mention the ease with which you'll attract hordes of admirers, and bend them to your will with little more than a smile or a crooked finger? Just make sure you wash that finger before you go back for seconds.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21)
The stars approve of your Thanksgiving travel plans. This weekend is the perfect time for an out-of-town jaunt. Even if you can't get away from it all, you should have no problem de-stressing, decompressing and generally delighting in turkey buffets, friends and family. Use your downtime to restore and rejuvenate — next week will be back to the grind with a vengeance.
Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Friends, family, fireplaces, the fact that grandma can't hear her own farts . . . ah, Thanksgiving! Time of joy and plenty, and the stars predict you'll have plenty of all of the above. This week is a perfect time to travel near or far. You'll find yourself surrounded my friends this holiday season, so live it up — just don't sit next to grandma at the dinner table.
