November 24th - 30th, 2025
The astrology for this week of November 24th through the 30th of 2025 may remind us of the 1966 classic spaghetti western “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”
This is Thanksgiving week in the US, a lively week that truly ushers in the holiday season — even though retailers have been laying the groundwork since August. And while Thanksgiving may seem overshadowed by the retail machinery gearing up for December, the deeper meaning remains available to us if we choose to access it.
We begin the week under the influence of the Water Grand Trine, an emotional emphasis that can magnify sensitivity, intuition, and the tendency toward overreach. Stress and heightened anxiety may be floating beneath the surface, but many will mask it with splurges and purchases — proving once again the adage: “When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.” Stuff and more stuff. And then, of course, the challenge of finding places to put all the stuff.
As the week unfolds, relationships gain prominence. People reach out, reconnect, and check in — but with an undertone of “misery loves company.” Intentions may be warm and bright, yet the actual exchanges could feel less satisfying than imagined.
Thanksgiving Day itself may be a mixed bag. Even if we are genuinely grateful, that might not stop us from voicing complaints, frustrations, or disagreements. Not everyone will share the same outlook — and discussions could easily spiral into unproductive debate. The “non-civil”civil war persists.
Fortunately, Saturn turns direct, relieving some of the delays and frustrations that have lingered since mid-summer. Saturn will complete its retrograde review through Pisces by late February, at which point it re-enters Aries for its full transit of the Cardinal Fire Sign.
Black Friday heightens the pressure. Extreme bargains, aggressive sales, and the cultural push toward consumption may trigger overspending — and distract from the need for discernment and stewardship of resources. The frenzy can be intoxicating, but rarely is it nourishing.
The weekend brings Mercury’s station direct, ending its three-week retrograde cycle during which the US government shutdown occurred and ended only with a “clean continuing resolution.” We’ll likely revisit the drama at the end of January — but for now, attention shifts to holiday diversions, indulgences, and temporary escapes.
The week closes with hope, uplift, and renewed fire. Venus enters Sagittarius, joining the Sun and Mars to form a Stellium in the Mutable Fire Sign. With this energetic shift, optimism and good cheer are easier to access. Perspective widens. Faith grows. The holiday spirit gains traction.
Here’s to blessings counted and gratitude expressed. Happy Thanksgiving.
