Give Thanks.

With Neptune stationing direct on Wednesday, and harmonizing with messenger Mercury on Thursday, this week we’re able to tap into a deep well of gratitude for those and that which we appreciate. Take some time to let your mind and heart flow to see who and what has really touched your life. Don’t put pre-defined bounds on this exploration as you may usually; just let your vision glide throughout a rolling river bank of your life to see what and who it’s been that has moved, touched, and inspired you. Allow that to help you tap into a stream of love and deep feelings that nourish you and those around you. This is a wonderful way to channel the strong unity-encouraging and unconditional-love-inspiring invitation that Neptune stations can yield. And just how perfect that it for Thanksgiving!

Doing so also allows us to help stem the tide that could also be the outcome of the Neptune station, which in and of themselves seem like possibilities for some Thanksgiving gatherings.

Thinned boundaries could lead to emotional merging and enabling behaviors, having us feel wilted if we find ourselves unconsciously (or consciously) not honoring our needs because we are triggered to just allow for another, or others, to get their way. We need to watch feeling too permeable, which can sometimes be what Neptune stations encourage; speaking of, I learned a great new Italian word this week—permaloso—which means feeling exceptionally sensitive and touchy, usually seeing the worst side of everything, and then perhaps responding in a prickly, defensive way. That word feels very Neptune station! If we feel permaloso, we may also find that we want to block or numb the sensitivity or discomfort we feel. This checking out could lead to drinking or eating a bit more than we’d planned on.

So, doing gratitude exercises—and/or other Neptune-inspired activities like reading poetry, losing yourself in artwork, letting your imagination run free, doing compassionate acts, et al.—may help you to have an even more wonderful holiday this year, one for which you may find yourself even more grateful.

Of course, there’s more to the week, including a Sagittarius New Moon on Tuesday. It may give us a feeling that something—perhaps our ability to create a goal, or our desire to find greater understanding and deeper truths—is getting a refresh. For more on the New Moon (as well as the Neptune station) see here.

In closing, I want to revisit Giving Thanks. I know you know this but I feel inclined to say it again: I truly give thanks to you!
