Buck Up, Little Pilgrim: The Visiting Visionary

By: Sarah Pickerel (View Profile)

November. That magical month when the seasons change. The leaves start to turn. Families join together to give thanks for food, then eat it all. Airport lines. Grocery store lines. Facial lines. There is truly so much to be thankful for in November. I think it’s no great coincidence that the Plymouth settlers also gave thanks during this month as well. Not only did they have their first successful harvest, but I suspect they were ecstatic that their tall buckle boots stopped making their feet sweat. So, inspired by our forefathers and mothers that peacefully enjoyed a meal together, here are my visions for your Thanksgiving.

Scorpio

As the most intensely profound, powerful character in the zodiac, when you give thanks, you really give thanks. Which explains why I predict you will have not one, but a month full of Thanksgiving dinners to give thanks for all your blessings—a fantastic house, a great haircut, a dedicated Pilates instructor, a new coffee bar on your block, and enough friends to invite to all these Thanksgiving dinners. This month of gratitude and food might be one of your best this year. Just don’t ignore your Pilates instructor.

Sagittarius

Sag, thanks for being such a positive person. You’re Switzerland in the middle of Mom, crazy Aunt Judy, and your rebellious younger sister. Thanks to your neutrality, honesty, and enthusiasm, I predict Thanksgiving dinner will go off with nothing more than a dramatic monologue from little sis about cruelty to turkeys, which you’ve already headed off at the pass by buying a free-range bird. Smart ol’ Sag.

Capricorn

It’s all business for you. That’s why I know you’ll get in and out of Thanksgiving dinner without a family scar or calorie on you. Your well-planned (read: anal) personality got you a flight home the night before Turkey Day and a flight out the morning after, avoiding high traffic at the airport and a disastrous family shopping day adventure. And, because you’re so freaking disciplined, I know you already have a book about how to get through Thanksgiving without gaining weight on your night stand. If anyone can do it, you can, Capricorn.
