HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

At first it will be too easy to lose sight of what is really important on this day of thanksgiving. But then the Pisces moon takes over to put things in perspective. "Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving." — H.U. Westermayer

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know that you have much to be grateful for, especially in regards to your relationships. You'll show people indirectly how much they mean to you. Some will need you to spell it out, though.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The morning sun seems to shine just for you. And the people who will gather around you, strangers and friends alike, will seem to have a special affection and respect for you. All is as it should be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You were born with the gift of gab and will use it to lighten the mood wherever you go. You'll also introduce people to one another, and your efforts could even produce a love match.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Get ready to show off. You'll dress with attitude, put yourself in a social mood and then connect with just the ones you need to know. You will impress all, including yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not agree with the exact order of things or understand why they turn out the way they do, but you take great pleasure as it all unfolds. You'll go to sleep tonight with a glad heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Hopefully, you were up early today. If not, stop and take some time to plan your proceedings. Running things through in your mind first will guarantee the success of your whole day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Telling people that you are thankful for their friendship is the ideal way to celebrate today. It could feel weird at first, but just do it. Once you start expressing your heart, it will get easier.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One way you show your gratitude is to actually use the gifts you were given. In fact, this is the best way that you or anyone else could honor the great spirit that animates you and all things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be modest, perhaps even shy. But if you're not ready to enjoy the attention you'll get for your own accomplishments, you will still be eager to celebrate others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People feel fantastic around you. You have a way of arranging your environment to bring in the good vibes.

Plus, you'll say just the thing that makes others feel acknowledged and understood.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you make your day about gratitude and togetherness, the food turns out great. But if you worry too much about the food and forget the gratitude, there will be issues. Stay focused on what matters.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've traveled to be with loved ones you haven't seen in a while, or they've journeyed to be with you. You may, in this process, realize why you live so far apart. Still, saying "thank you" is a prayer that is always heard.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 26). Your credibility is what gets you in the door to a stellar arrangement in the next 10 weeks. Partnerships evolve through December, and you'll be so happy with where you land in February. Through April, you won't have to struggle to get ahead. You'll coast and attract abundance at the same time. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 26, 42, 17 and 30.

HOW TO GET THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS WITH GRACE: As the sign of all things domestic, CANCER loves to be home for the holidays, and if this isn't possible, the Cancer native will make wherever he or she goes feel like home. There is in each moonchild's mind an idyllic version of the holidays to be lived up to. But Cancer is also realistic enough not to be too rigid in these ideas. "Easy come, easy go" is Cancer's holiday motto. If the fantasy turns out anything like the reality, even if it's only one small detail, Cancer will be pleased with the outcome. Cancer enjoys all the steps involved in staying organized. The brainstorming process in particular is a pleasure for Cancer, who enjoys making endless lists and schedules. The point is not to get overloaded with things to do, but to be very involved in creating a bit of fun to share with loved ones. As long as Cancer stays organized, the added activities, decorations, places to be and things to exchange are all part of a fluid and fun experience. A single notebook and pen is Cancer's secret to peace of mind and a happy attitude.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Soulful Sagittarius Natasha Bedingfield was in a Christian band with her siblings before she became a pop star and international sensation with songs like "Unwritten" and "Soulmate." Though she sometimes sings about relationship unrest, Bedingfield's Jupiter and Saturn in Libra indicate a natural inclination toward peaceful relationships, especially within her inner circle.
