Two planets turn direct this Thanksgiving week — you can, too, without slipping back into your childhood self

As Saturn and Mercury both station direct (end their retrograde cycles), our minds, bodies, and lives move forward again. After an offseason of peace, quiet, and fall reflection, the pace of life starts picking up — right on cue for Thanksgiving and our annual defibrillator-shock jumpstart to our holiday-packed on-season. Mercifully, we got a teeny bit snow!

As life speeds up, so can our triggers — especially the ones tied to family dynamics. This is the moment to get curious about your boundaries, your old stories, and what you need to stay grounded as the holidays and ski season surge like a storm front rolling in (fingers and toes crossed).

For decades, I dreaded going home for the holidays. Weeks beforehand, I’d already be hurricane-level spiraling — rehearsing fictional conversations in my head, bracing for imagined criticism that hadn’t even happened yet. I’d slip right back into my childhood self before I even arrived: small, insecure, already convinced I was failing the unspoken test of not being “good enough.”
