Up, up, up the ladder you go. This Wednesday, the energizing Sun lends its beams to Sagittarius and your tenth house of career. Your ambitions will be supersized during this monthlong phase, pushing you towards unprecedented professional growth. While everyone else is heading over the meadow and through the woods youll be burning some midnight oil, perhaps utilizing the long weekend to pull ahead on an outsized mission. (But no BBM-ing your boss while the turkey is being served, please.) Your meteoric rise is a long time coming, so revel in the recognition thats heading your way. No need to wait for the talent scouts and executive recruiters to come sniffing for you, although they might just. Draft a press release, light up the Twitterverse with a 140-character buzz, host a launch party or focus group. Getting the word out yourself gives you control over image and message, an added bonus. If your career feels stalled at the gates, harness the gambling instincts of the Sagittarius Sun and make a bold, proactive move. Sign on for a one-day-per-week volunteer apprenticeship with a prominent industry player, enroll in a training seminar, cold-call a potential dream client, or request an official performance review to draw the bigwigs attention to your accomplishments. Note that Mercury will still be retrograde until November 26, so this week is more about preparing any behind-the-scenes materials for your big ask so you can pitch away next week when the messenger planet resumes direct motion. Working with men will be quite fruitful during this monthlong phase. Take your rightful place among the fellas, glass ceiling be damned. A guy who plays a leading role in your personal life may become a central focus of the next thirty days; perhaps youll even join forces on a work-related project, artfully mixing business and pleasure. TMI alert? Loveplanet Venus decamps to Scorpio and your honest-to-a-fault ninth house from Wednesday till December 15. Wearing your heart on your sleeve is fine, but relationships could unravel if you go spinning one too many yarns. Bare your soul, but do so selectively. Rehashing every detail from your past could turn your lover du jour cold. Does s/he really need to hear about the time your ex left you stranded at a Marrakesh airport or other tales from the vault marked The Insecure Years? No, Pisces, so stop painting pictures of yourself that downplay the confident, sexy badass you are today. Cultural barriers were meant to be broken, especially when it comes to love. With Venus in Scorpio, you could be swept off in an overriding attraction to someone from a different background or part of the world. Vacation romances sizzle with strong potential, but these arent merely of the fond memory ilk. Venus in Scorpio creates deep and abiding bonds. Who knows, Pisces? Someone you meet in your travels over the next few weeks (or a tourist cruising through your hometown) could become a real-deal romantic possibility, which might even lead to one of you relocating. Coupled Pisces, plan an early getaway from family festivities. Although retrograde Mercury can cause snafus with your itinerary till the 26th, hightailing it to a known vacation spot could be the sweet escape you need this weekendeven if you DO have to work on that report between romps in the sheets. With the moon in Pisces for most of Thanksgiving Day, youre the veritable Pied Piper of playtime. Bundle up and take the kids, nieces and nephews to the citys parade or other turkey-day themed events. Make sure there are toys set up for both the wee ones and entertainment for the adults (Glee Karaoke Revolution on the X-Box, anyone?). Take the lead in the thankful toasts around the table. Youll break the ice and help everyone relax into an emo groove. Pass the tissues!

General Characteristics of Pisces

Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. A part of you is always trying to "swim away" or escape reality. The other part is so intuitive that you get swept up in everything going on. Your imagination is the perfect hideout when you want to escape, since Pisces is so creative. You love dancing (Pisces rules the feet), movies, poetry, and music. Your moods are mysterious and your dreams are intense. Every Pisces should have a journal by your bed, since some your best ideas will come in your sleep. Although you can feel helpless, you're much stronger than you think. The best way for Pisces to experience your own strength is to help people in need. You have great compassion and incredible healing powers. Because it's easy for people to make you feel guilty, Pisces should watch out for friends who use you, or make you doubt yourself. Surround yourself with good-hearted friends who have their acts together. Many people born under your sign have a "tortured soul" quality. Finding a tranquil spiritual outlet, or spending time alone, can help you get re-centered in your own power.
