| Planetary Energy Alert: Planetary Energy Alert For November 2008: The NEW MOON on Thanksgiving Day The November 2008 New Moon: A Thanksgiving With A New Beginning People look forward to Thanksgiving in the United States for various reasons, yet because it is a full-on, workload-producing holiday it sometimes gets a bad rap. Some families just don’t share the type of DNA that causes their members to spew love and gratitude toward one another on a regular day…never mind on the day when certain people are expected to cook for an army, deal with mounds of dirty dishes, and make hours of pleasant conversation at a table with at least one person who irritates the stuffing out of them. BUT there is good news this year for Turkey-day lovers and loathers alike: On this November 27th there is a New Moon. A New Moon represents clean slates, fresh opportunities, and new beginnings. Any day on which a New Moon falls is a day when wishes are made, goals are written down, new projects should be initiated, and for sure it is a day when relationships can begin to take on new tones and purposes in our lives. No matter what attempts you would like to make to renew your vitality and push toward success, your best bet would be to begin the processes on the day of the New Moon each month. This November’s New Moon is special particularly because it falls on the day of the month when our country, a country that some say is in turmoil, could truly use an opportunity at a brand new start. Thanksgiving is the day on which we celebrate the things that we have and the things that we share. We celebrate abundance. But we also, as the traditional Thanksgiving stories go, celebrate cooperation between people and groups who have different goals. Fiction or non-fiction, the oft-told story of the first Thanksgiving reminds us of our personal ability and of our collective responsibility to sit down with and find common ground with even our most impressive adversaries. Surely the Pilgrims and Americans had little in common in their opinions. Nothing about those two groups looked the same on the outside, and very little about their lifestyles complemented each other with the exception that their most basic needs – food, family, and freedom to live as they pleased without outside interference - were the same. It stands to reason then that if Thanksgiving falls on a New Moon, we will have the collective opportunity – differences aside – to make the experience of coming together an act of celebrating each other no matter how at odds we might seem to be with each other the rest of the year. Any energy, idea or intention that is presented to the universe on a New Moon has the most potential grow into a full and finished product. A New Moon is the moment in our monthly calendar that is like a seed. Plant something special on the day of the New Moon, and it will flourish (even if it is the seed of a new understanding and tolerance for your Aunt Millie, who Lord knows causes ulcers approximately three- hundred and sixty four days out of the year). In my opinion, we are especially blessed when a New Moon falls on a day when we tend to celebrate the spirit of togetherness. The November 2008 Thanksgiving New Moon will bring each of us a golden opportunity to truly set aside any and all past differences, pettiness and bitterness; and will allow each of us to perceive our relationships differently despite the history that surrounds them. At some point in his or her life, every one of us wishes for a chance to wipe the slate clean regarding relationships, career, and self-actualization. This Thanksgiving, that very gift will be written in the stars. Please see your sun sign below to find out where the most powerful point of this New Moon falls for you on this Thanksgiving Day. Also read your Rising Sign, if you know it, for more information, and read the Note at the end of this page.
