It’s that time of year for turkey trots, family football, and pumpkin pie. While your family traditions may stay the same, the general “vibe” of Thanksgiving each year really depends on what’s going on in the sky. And this Thanksgiving? Everyone will be feeling something, and your Thanksgiving horoscope holds the key to how the skies will affect you.

Whether you’re playing backyard games with family or participating in a “Friendsgiving” potluck, Thanksgiving typically involves spending time with other people. When the astrological skies are feeling nice, the forecast might involve sweet words, hugs, and sentimental time together. When the skies are more rocky, like this year, it can provide an intense backdrop which can lead to the environment becoming tense, uncomfortable, or even a little spicy.

For starters, two days before Thanksgiving hits, Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius. This is uncomfortable for two reasons—the first being that nothing goes smoothly during Mercury retrograde, so we should expect very “Mercury retrograde” delays. For example, if you’re planning to travel, prepare for bumps in the road or possibly forgetting the dish that you were supposed to bring. If you’re hoping to host, it may be that kitchen tools break or cooking times might slip your mind.

The second reason? Well, Mercury retrograde is in Sagittarius, the zodiac sign of beliefs and spirituality. Topics that fall under this sign include religion, faith, theories, and…politics. (See where I’m going here?) With a Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, many of us are challenging our belief systems and are either more likely to move away from old systems or be encouraged to reinforce them with other people. Take a big election, put a bunch of high-spirited (perhaps, literally) people in a room together, and the likelihood of fierce and opinionated conversations is high. So, per the retrograde, the best thing to do is double-check your cooking times and stay on agreeable topics at the dinner table.

If Mercury retrograde wasn’t shaky enough, on Thanksgiving Day itself, we have Venus making a square to Chiron, which can make everyone feel a little more sensitive to comments. We also have a deep, harsh Scorpio moon in the sky. And finally, there’s potential for anger (or just a lot of overeating) with the sun making a trine to Mars.

Your Thanksgiving 2024 horoscope for each zodiac sign

If you’re interested to see how your Turkey Day will go, read on to find out your Thanksgiving horoscope. Make sure you read for both your sun sign and your rising sign!

Aries

Be prepared for some questions from the fam about your work. You’re a little sensitive on that front, thanks to the Venus-Chiron square in your houses of ego and career. Plus, this retrograde is really making you feel self-conscious about what you’re actually fulfilling in your life…if anything. If you can, escape to see friends right now. It’s around friends that you’re feeling less criticized about those big, “Who am I?” and “What’s my purpose?” questions that you definitely don’t have the answers to right now.

Taurus

This Thanksgiving, you might end up becoming privy to some interesting information about a family member. The sun-Mars trine is revealing something that feels like a secret, but perhaps is being announced at the dinner table. Mercury retrograde is moving through your house of secrets and depths, so it’s possible that you’re a magnet for hidden issues. With big information comes big responsibilities. So, just use it wisely. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Gemini

Are you bringing someone home for Thanksgiving or introducing a new love interest to your friends at Friendsgiving? It may be that this meet-and-greet shows you just how well (or not) your partner fits in with the rest of your loved ones. Not only is Mercury moving through your house of love, but the Venus-Chiron square is happening in your houses of community (i.e. “fitting in”) and revealing the truth. This is likely a time where you’re realizing how you’re different with your partner than you are with your family or friends. Is that a good thing? Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Cancer

Something might be going on at work right now that could not be happening at a worse time. Mercury retrograde is moving through your house of daily duties, which is making you wonder whether all this time you spend on work really matters. Is it actually doing you any good? Is this job impeding on your quality of life? With the Venus-Chiron square in your houses of love and career, your job may be holding you back from being able to see family this Thanksgiving. For a Cancer, that is the worst of crimes. You might be looking at your career a little differently now. Is it time to move on? Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Leo

Mercury retrograde is hitting your house of close-knit friendships and self-expression, which is making you wonder who your real friends are and whether you actually fit in with them anymore. The Venus-Chiron square makes you want to escape…and decide not to show up to a Friendsgiving or an outing around Thanksgiving. But remember this Mercury retrograde is making a lot of us feel uneasy or hazy. It’s not a good time to make hard decisions. Just go see your friends, eat good food, and head home when you’re ready. This problem will still be there tomorrow. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Virgo

You’re feeling a bit self-conscious around your family right now, thanks to this retrograde’s movement through your family house. Perhaps you’ve gone through a few changes in your life—really aligning with what you feel is your authentic self, but trending farther away from your family’s values. This can cause some dissonance between what to talk about at the dinner table. With the Venus-Chiron square in your houses of self-expression and revealing the truth, you may share something about your new life that you weren’t planning to. Just remember to stay within your own truth and everything will be fine. You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone, especially not your family. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Libra

As Chiron travels through your house of love and partnership, you’re starting to trend away from your normal romantic outlook on life. You may be realizing that relationships in the past have pulled you away from what’s important, like your close friends and family. (It may also be that you’re hearing from fizzled-out flames from the past, thanks to Mercury’s movement in your house of communication. This only reminds you what bad influences they were!) Thanks to Venus in the house of family, your Thanksgiving is filled with love, laughter, and the reminder of who actually has your back. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Scorpio

Mercury’s movement is happening in your house of earned income, which is making you feel a little strapped for the holidays. For example, maybe you just got laid off at your job or you took a pay cut recently. It doesn’t help that you don’t have much you want to share at the Thanksgiving table about what you do. And to make matters worse, you feel even a little ashamed right now about what you do for work, or perhaps your success in it. Here’s something to remember: You are doing the best you can, and that should be enough. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Sagittarius

Mercury retrograde is moving through your house of self, ego, and identity—really hitting home this question of who you want to be. This might feel like a bit of an existential crisis, but trust me, it’s going to help you dig into deeper parts of yourself that you may have ignored up until now. In general, you might be feeling a bit removed from the Thanksgiving festivities. Plus, the Venus-Chiron square in your houses of values and friendships kind of makes you want to stay in with family anyway. Life may seem kind of weird right now—but that’s nothing that turkey and pumpkin pie can’t fix. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Capricorn

The Venus-Chiron square is happening in your family and identity houses. It’s likely that you’re feeling a bit targeted by your family. Have you been making some changes they might disapprove of? With Mercury retrograde moving through your house of the subconscious, you’re in your own head about a lot of things. Don’t let their questions get to you. In fact, you might be a bit more sensitive today than usual. Just answer calmly and move along. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Aquarius

Since these transits aren’t really affecting the family spheres of your chart, your Thanksgiving will probably be a bit more smooth sailing! Mercury’s moving through your community house, which is asking bigger questions around helping more people. This would be a great time to give back during the holidays—like helping out at a soup kitchen or donating presents. The Venus-Chiron square is highlighting your subconscious right now. You might have something weighing on your heart that you need to share. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.

Pisces

With Mercury’s movement through your house of career, and the sun-Mars trine happening in your house of career and duties, you’re feeling like you could use a break from real life anyway. Work is a lot right now—so much so that it could be you’ve just been overworked for the past few weeks. But never fear! A holiday about eating and loved ones is the perfect thing to come up as a distraction. Use this time to enjoy yourself and those you love. Read your full November 2024 horoscope here.
