Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Your idea of heaven is to celebrate the holidays with your dearly beloved. So, why not bow out of family obligations and make a special meal for the one you love? Search online for gourmet recipes that you know will please, and set the table with your finest china and candles. Or, celebrate the holiday at your favorite restaurant, and present your partner with a special card detailing what you're most grateful for about him or her.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Let's face it -- sometimes you can't be bothered with holiday gatherings. It's okay to indulge your desire to be alone this year, or spend Thanksgiving with one special person. Don't knock yourself out with food preparation -- in fact, there's no law that says you have to eat turkey and dressing if you'd rather have macaroni and cheese! The underlying meaning is most important to you, so light a candle and give thanks.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Try a change of pace at Thanksgiving this year by inviting friends and family on a cruise during which a sumptuous meal is provided. Or, go all out and meet in a nearby town (or even a foreign land!) and gather at a restaurant you've never tried before. Make sure it has a view of spectacular scenery, and serves exotic fare. Turkey with Indian spices or wrapped in enchiladas would be memorable!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Because you love tradition, why not organize an authentic Thanksgiving this year? The Pilgrims built their meal around venison, wild fowl, Indian corn bread, squash and peas. Serve prune or berry tarts for dessert, and wash it all down with cider, beer or wine. Don't forget: forks weren't used at that time, so offer guests a knife, spoon and big napkin to pick up their hot morsels of food!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
The more the merrier for you, so why not join with others at your local community center this year for a group Thanksgiving meal? Bring your favorite dish, and think about what you're grateful for ahead of time, as you may be asked to share it before eating. You could also ask loved ones to invite their friends, and meet up at a local park to share a festive meal!
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
You like to do it all, so make the rounds this Thanksgiving. Buy a few bottles of wine or sparkling water, and take one to each place you visit. That way you can see both friends and family, and no one will feel left out. Best of all, you get to enjoy several delicious meals! Bring a special dessert or aperitif to your final destination. And, if you overindulge, you can always take a taxi home!
Thanksgiving for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo ยป
