Thanksgiving, Hanukkah & Comet ISON

On November 28th (Thanksgiving in the US), there’s a trine between Mercury (communication) in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer. The background to the Venus/Jupiter opposition will consist of asking for more/thinking of more. Taking that core truth and expanding on it. What do you know? What’s the taboo, touchy, raw subject that you must speak about? Relationship boundaries? Articulating your worth? Venus in Capricorn places a specific value on things, and Jupiter will amplify that value so no one can ignore it.

This will be a good time to say it/write it, because a trine from Jupiter enables positive reception to your words. Venus in Capricorn will be supporting Mercury with a sextile as well, so you will know (Mercury) the real value of what’s at stake.

November 28th also has an opposition between Venus in practical Capricorn, and Jupiter retrograde in emotional Cancer (at 19 degrees). Limits (Capricorn) on love, money and values (Venus) will be challenged by hope for more (Jupiter). Any aspect from Jupiter amplifies the planet it’s touching, so this could be a chance to bust out of rigid habits/structures. Or, your ambition (Capricorn) to succeed in one of those Venus areas could exceed everyone’s expectations. It might be time to raise your price.

This year, Thanksgiving also coincides with the start of Hanukkah. It's been at least a century since the start of Hanukkah, which is determined by lunar calculations, coincided with Thanksgiving, always the fourth Thursday of November.

Additionally, Comet ISON will skim just 730,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers) above the solar surface on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 28) before heading out into deep space once again. If ISON survives this perilous plunge, the icy wanderer could put on quite a show in the ensuing weeks, becoming visible to the naked eye throughout much of December, experts say.
