Thanksgiving

Hi, Magical Beings

I want to talk to you gently today because the energy in North America right now feels full, and not always in the comforting way. Thanksgiving brings up many different emotions depending on who you are, what you have lived through, and what you believe.

Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving and that is okay. Some people enjoy it, some feel disconnected from it, and some feel a lot of emotions around this time. With everything going on in the world and the way the country feels split right now, especially with people arguing about Trump and the future of the United States, the energy can feel heavy. A lot of people are carrying a lot inside and you can feel that in the collective.

So if your heart feels sensitive, confused, or overwhelmed, you are not alone. You are feeling what many others are feeling too, whether they say it out loud or not.

This is why I want to bring us back to the moon because the moon is guiding us with a lot of love this week.

New Moon in Scorpio

Before the Waxing Crescent shows up, the New Moon sets the emotional tone. And this recent New Moon in Scorpio was incredibly deep ( on November 20th).

Scorpio energy goes straight into the places we avoid. It brings up hidden emotions, old memories, fears we suppress, and truths we do not want to face. It makes you shed layers you did not even realize you were still holding.

So if the past few days brought up old wounds, sudden emotions, shadow work, painful memories, endings, relationship shifts, or realizations about your patterns or family, that was the New Moon in Scorpio clearing what cannot come with you into the next chapter.

This is why everything feels so raw right now. Scorpio opened every door so you could see yourself clearly.

Waxing Crescent

Now the moon is in the Waxing Crescent phase, from November 22 through November 27. The energy is shifting. After the intense clarity of the New Moon in Scorpio, this part of the cycle offers space to breathe and begin again.

The Waxing Crescent is about noticing the new ideas, feelings, and directions that emerged when everything felt raw. It’s not about the push or about drama. It’s simply the time when you start moving forward, quietly and thoughtfully.

This phase isn’t about choosing political sides, getting caught in arguments, forcing yourself to feel a certain way or pretending things are fine when they’re not. It’s about returning your focus inward so you can hear what your soul is really saying.

Scorpio showed what’s been hiding.
Now the Waxing Crescent helps you listen.

Amazonite

When I pulled a card for the collective, Amazonite (the crystal) showed up. The message I kept hearing was that people need calm, clear communication right now. A lot of people are overwhelmed, overstimulated, or getting pulled into arguments they do not want to be part of, especially with everything happening politically and emotionally.

Amazonite brings things back to center. It helps you say what you mean without reacting from stress. It helps you express yourself without feeling like you have to fight or defend your truth. It also helps you stay in your own energy when the people around you are emotional.

You do not need to have the crystal to receive the message. The point is to notice where you need more clarity in your communication, where you need stronger boundaries, and where you may be taking on energy that is not yours. That is the guidance coming through with Amazonite right now.

Making Space for Every Experience of Thanksgiving

Everyone experiences this week differently. Some people celebrate Thanksgiving, some do not because of what it represents, and some are just trying to get through the week. There is no right or wrong way to feel about it.

If this week feels emotional, tiring, or confusing, that is okay. You do not have to pretend you are fine or force yourself into a holiday mood. A lot of people are carrying a lot inside and the collective energy is heavy. It makes sense if you feel that in your body.

What matters right now is staying honest with yourself. Pay attention to what you need, what feels overwhelming, what drains you, and what brings you back to yourself. Your emotions are information, not a problem to fix.

This is simply a moment to check in with yourself while everything around you feels loud and divided. You are moving through your own process in your own timing. You are not behind. You are not doing life wrong. You are just human, and you are learning more about yourself every day.

A Simple Practice for This Week

If you want something simple for this week, take a moment to yourself. Put your hand on your heart and take one slow breath. Say, thank you for getting me through things no one knows about. Then ask yourself, what truth is rising in me right now. Whatever comes up is your starting point for this Waxing Crescent.

Final Message From Me to You

This week might feel different for everyone, and that is okay. You do not have to force yourself into any specific feeling or mindset. Just stay honest with yourself. Pay attention to what feels right for you and what does not. If you are celebrating, let it be simple. If you are not, that is completely valid too. Every person is moving through their own experience right now, and there is space for all of it.

If you want clarity or support, you can book with me. I am offering in person sessions at The Haven in Rockville Town Center, and you are welcome to come in and get the guidance you need.

I am here with you.
