Sagittarius season just started, and it is no coincidence that Thanksgiving falls right in this uplifting Jupiter-ruled energy. Sagittarius season is all about abundance and optimism, so the whole month naturally feels lighter. It is a perfect backdrop for slowing down, relaxing, and being with the people you love on Thanksgiving.
This year, Thanksgiving week has an extra mellow vibe because five planets, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are retrograde. Retrogrades are pauses that help us rethink, rework, and bring hidden things to the surface. This reflective energy lasts through Thanksgiving Day, making the week feel slow, soft, and introspective.
Then everything starts shifting the day after Thanksgiving. On Friday, November 28, Saturn goes direct after being retrograde since July. As Saturn switches direction, it brings a big exhale. Delays begin lifting, plans start moving again, and we shift from inner processing to outer action. Because Saturn rules karma, this forward motion can also bring karmic clarity or course corrections as we wrap up this major cycle.
On Saturday, Mercury also goes direct, adding even more forward motion with a little extra potential for travel delays or miscommunications as the energy shifts. And we get another boost when Neptune goes direct on December 10, helping us feel clearer about our purpose. Thanksgiving week is beautifully timed. We slow down, settle in, and enjoy it, and then right afterward, life starts moving forward again.
