Spotlight on Taurus

Happy Taurus-giving, everyone! I hope you visited the HCC food pantry this past week because, according to this Readers’ Digest article, you have the ingredients in your bag provided by the food pantry to make one of these 12 delicious Thanksgiving cuisines! If you have not stopped by the pantry, fret not, as you can pick your ingredients up at a store for a reasonable price. For non-traditional ingredients, check a store like Aldi or a marketplace in Columbia — there are plenty! Perhaps consider LA Mart, located in the Oakland Mills neighborhood.

Aries: March 21-April 19

Because your sign’s mentality is notorious for taking risks, you may return for a second plate after piling on all the sides the first time! This year, be careful not to go crazy — you don’t want to put yourself in another food coma!

Taurus: April 20-May 20

Thanksgiving Day is the ideal time to unwind and recuperate. The best way to relax is to spend the day eating and napping. Your loved ones are with you, heightening the sense of family. You prefer to sit in a corner with your favorite cup of hot chocolate and have lovely chats with your friends and family about diverse topics. The sofa is your best buddy, and binge-watching movies and TV becomes one of your favorite ways to decompress. In addition to being more energetic in your daily activities, you will also engage in interesting chats, catch up on pending talks and may even indulge in harmless gossip and flirtations.

Gemini: May 21-June 20

Take advantage of your time off from work by finding a comfortable chair in the corner, wrapping yourself in a nice blanket and falling asleep. Thanksgiving is just what you have been longing for!

Cancer: June 21-July 22

Because your personality has a way with words, you are in charge of saying grace and making sure everyone at the table expresses their gratitude. If you keep the blessing going for too long, other signs must remind you that the food is starting to go cold!

Leo: July 23-August 22

Your sincerity, Leo, will complicate how you devote your energy during this time of year. Everyone wants you to be the star of the show, but you do not want to burden yourself too much between making turkey crafts with your cousins and carving the actual bird.

Virgo: August 23-September 22

Remember this when you start digging through your storage bins: Because the energy of your sign is known for encouraging perfectionism, you may easily bite off more than you can chew, turning a minor mishap into a major disaster. The key is prioritizing your tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Which of the cleaning missions will have the most immediate impact? If you’re expecting visitors for the holidays, for example, you may start with the spare bedroom then move on to the entertainment areas while avoiding the burdensome basement until January.

Libra: September 23-October 22

Your zodiac sign is ruled by Venus and is all about beauty and elegance. You are frequently concerned with making others happy, and hence appear to be a people pleaser. Thanksgiving is a significant event for you since it allows you to mix and connect with people from other circles. Your intuition will be acute and heightened this Thanksgiving. On a personal level, you will interact with your friends and family, which will bring everyone’s genuine motives to the surface. You’ll be the perfect host, balancing out any bad feelings. You may understand the value of your relationships this Thanksgiving and strive to strike a balance between compromise and dedication.

Scorpio: October 23-November 21

You’re hushed, focused and moody, and you usually stand out from the crowd. Because you’re also daring and impulsive, use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to channel your inner explorer. For you, socializing with friends and family takes a back seat, as Thanksgiving weekend is about taking a break from work and personal commitments to focus your energy and attention on yourself. You will use this time as a chance to connect with your more free-spirited side. You will be thoughtful and motivating to others this Thanksgiving.

Sagittarius: November 22-December 21

For you, Thanksgiving is all about having a good time. It’s thrilling to meet up with friends and family and spend time together. You’ll be the center of attention, pushing the group’s laughter to a new level. Your goal is to have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and show everyone a memorable time. You may jump from one group of friends to another and from one chat to the next. This holiday season will have you enamored with love and energy, which will set the tone for the rest of the year. You have the determination to overcome obstacles that will lead you along a road of self-discovery and fulfillment.

Capricorn: December 22-January 20

You are responsible and realistic. You already know that while the turkey is the star of the show, the mashed potatoes are the true basis of a perfect Thanksgiving meal. Either cook your own mashed potatoes or at least make sure they are on the holiday menu. Regardless, you’ll make sure that there are enough potatoes on hand for everyone. You’re also on gravy duty, which is the meal’s great unifier. Consider making garlic and herb mashed potatoes to ramp up the taste. It’ll be on to the next holiday after this one ends, so be sure to remember what the greatest gifts are.

Aquarius: January 21-February 18

You are wired differently from the rest of the group. You’re vibrant and wonderful, but you are not for everyone. Thanksgiving allows you to spend quality time with your loved ones. You are controversial in your points of discussion, and it brings you tremendous joy to educate people about society’s dangers. Others are drawn to you because of your humanitarian nature and kindness. This Thanksgiving, you will be chatty and sociable. Your emotions may be unrestrained as you act in the best interests of yourself and your peers.

Pisces: February 19-March 20

You have a dreamy, insightful and empathic quality to you. You are a dual sign, and your thoughts frequently stray in opposite directions. Allow yourself to enjoy this Thanksgiving holiday by taking a vacation from the humdrum of everyday life. It’s the perfect time to meet up with friends and family over comfort cuisine, get-togethers and binge-watching. This much-needed vacation will provide you with a respite from reality and allow you to escape into your own universe. Even if you have a tight relationship with your friends and family, there’s a chance you are losing out on people who aren’t able to be with you. Instead of choosing to be present, you are experiencing a sense of disconnection.

Astrological Engagement

With Taurus, the sign full of emotion in the sky during this Thanksgiving, you could have a joyous holiday full of cheer and revelation, or one full of sadness, or even worse, chaos. Do not let Taurus take the wheel, and make sure it is occupied with happy thoughts so the holiday can be merry and November can end on a happy note.

As always,
