Buck Up, Little Pilgrim: The Visiting Visionary

Aquarius

Dear Aquarius, please do us all a favor and don’t have a vegetarian Thanksgiving this year. Because if you do, I predict a very lonely Thanksgiving table. You’re so sweet, creative, and kind to spare the life of several turkeys, yams, potatoes, cranberries, and green beans, but tofurkey with vegan gravy? Well, let’s just say all your friends found themselves at a drive-thru shortly after dinner. It’s hard for me to tell you this, but for once in your cause-oriented life, follow the herd.

Pisces

Okay, Pisces, I’m going to tell you something you might not want to hear, but I can’t deny the voices in my head. You know that guy that keeps showing up at happy hour with your friends? He’s not just there for the drink specials. He. Likes. You. And, he’s going to be at your urban family’s Thanksgiving Dinner. That shy, demure thing you’re working? It’s not working. He probably thinks you’re giving him the snub. So, take the turkey by the leg (figuratively, of course) and strike up a convo with him. Dare I say, sit by him at dinner. Who knows, something might—gasp!—happen.

Aries

The family knows you’ve been secretly going to improv night downtown (your older brother leaked it), so carpe turkey day. This Thanksgiving, while the family sits around the table post-turkey, put your newfound comedic skills to good use. I predict this tryptophan-infested crowd will love your material. Plus, no one wants to hear about your Dad’s newest edition to his train collection.

Taurus

This is the year you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner at your table. Taurus darling, we both know because you’re so calm and collected that it will be the best Thanksgiving dinner in recent family history. Table settings, perfect. Wine pairing, perfect. Conversation management, perfect. I’m sensing phenomenal hostess gifts. I’m talking expensive candles, massage gift certificates. Well done, darling. Well done.

Gemini

You might think you’re headed for crisis mode, being the only single gal invited to an all couples Thanksgiving weekend at your best friend’s mountain chalet. But, fear not. I sense the tall, brown-haired, gentleman that always seems to sit near you on the bus will make a move early in the month that will lead to many reasons to be very thankful by Turkey Day.
