Give Thanks … for Saturday Nights!
Happy UN-Birthday November 39ers! ♪ And many more… ♪ Welcome to the month of Gratitude. Whether you gather with family or a family of friends, this month brings a message of thanks, in deed and heart. Carry it with you throughout Holidays. In keeping with your Thanksgiving meal, whether solo or in boisterous festivity, please allow me to offer a little food for thought …
How often do you say Thank You, in a day? If you answer never, or rarely, it’s time to step up your gratitude game. November not only hosts Thanksgiving Day, but is designated the month to count your blessings and give thanks. Many charities count on this month for your generosity. Give, if possible, but most of all, give thought to gratitude throughout your everyday life.
֎ Celebrating NOVEMBER 39ers ~ And
More!
As
we float into the Holidays, the aura of festivity is palpable. Especially for
our November UN-birthday 39ers … the party is underway!
NOVEMBER’S 39er St¶rs of the Sky
Let’s begin with a few words from the stars for us all … As usual for this time of year, we tend to reconnect with elusive family, friendships, and professional ties. Shifting priorities to look toward the New Year is unavoidable.
As you restructure, repair and simplify, all Zodiac signs are urged to honor the Season and guide your changes with poise and kindness. By month’s end, we’ll all feel the difference in restored intentions to move forward with implementation in December, refreshed!
For Scorpio (10/23 – 11/21) and Sagittarius (11/22 – 12/21) the process may be a little more intense.
Let’s take Scorpio first … your November repositioning may help you and a key person finally see eye-to-eye, if you keep things simple and logical. With November 20th’s New Moon, your earlier shifts of restructure, repair and simplify, apply not just outwardly, but create a new, magnetic you. Promises and honesty matter, whether you’re in Scorpio’s early level of the Scorpion, secondary Eagle, or evolved Phoenix. Use your new power wisely.
The Zodiac flips on November 22nd and Sagittarius takes over the skies. For you, m’dear Archer, it’s all about details! We know “the devil’s in the details,” and you’re not about to let the devil get the best of you. Managing details come easily for you. As with the rest of us, reconnecting and restructuring is key to your augmented, year-end way of life. This month, as you shed prior encumbrances and reinvigorate those important to you, shoot for the bullseye and let your soul be your guide.
♪ NOVEMBER Vintage Song of Note ♪
For many, Thanksgiving is a time to connect with family or a family of friends, for much-needed communal R&R. Sure, “rest and relaxation” … but don’t forget the other R&R … Rock & Roll!
This month’s vintage Song of Note will remind you to have patience as you roll your eyes and try not to listen to the family gossip. It’ll soon be another “Saturday Night”!
The Bay City Rollers knew the value of a good ol’ Pop Rock tune and theirs was bubbling under on November 7, 1975 when KERN/Bakersfield CA radio music survey posted it as “New.” The Scottish band originally released it in 1973, but it failed to chart. Taking another chance on the bouncy tune, they re-recorded it for a 1975 release and it went on to become their sole #1 hit in the U.S. Ready for more tuneful vintage tidbits? Manifest your memories and keep the Rock Rockin’ from 50 Years Ago this Month!
֎ More NOVEMBER Fun for
Everyone
By the time this article is fully posted (11/11/25), some days are done and
gone, but still worth a mention, while we move on to more Fall fun.
Sunday ~ November 2nd: Have you recuperated from the time change yet? It may take the whole rest of the month to manage our lives through the transition—but you will get used to it—about the time it’s time to change it back!
Wednesday ~ November 5th: I hope you caught at least a glimpse of November’s biggest, fullest Full Moon Magic of the year! The Full Beaver Moon knows how to shine, and it did, with a twinkle for good luck. Its effects will carry you through the month as you reconnect, review, and re-establish the rest of your year.
Friday ~ November 14th: Get ready to hug … it’s National American Teddy Bear Day! Who doesn’t love a cute Teddy Bear? But do you know why they’re called “Teddy” Bears? The story has been endearing to generations of Americans since 1902. I’ll give you a hint as you click on the sponsor link … it has to do with our 26th President Theodore Roosevelt and his penchant for hunting. Enjoy while you hug your Teddy Bear.Thursday ~ November 20th: Harness the power of the earlier Full Moon to this month’s New Moon Musings and celebrate the month’s New Beginnings! 39ers have learned by now the regenerative power of New Beginnings … they can happen at any moment, whether planned or not. How we deal with them is the key to moving forward.
Thursday ~ November 27th: Yes, there are other reasons to celebrate Thanksgiving Day this year. It just so happens today is Slinky Day! The sponsor link is a tad outdated but the fun details are there. Enjoy a couple other links to further explain why even some of you 39ers may not know what a Slinky is or why we “elders” have fond memories of it. Oh, don’t get me wrong … it isn’t a “has-been” toy! The Slinky is still sold in stores—it just isn’t as big a deal as when it took over the toy world so many years ago.
Thursday ~ November 27th: Take a seat, bless this mess, and let’s all eat! Thanksgiving Day has arrived! Whether you're solo or enveloped by a horde, enjoy your blessings and chow down on your savory Thanksgiving Day dinner!

And dear readers, I just want you to know that I try my best to create an informative, aesthetically creative article for you each month. However, Blogger is not a professional hosting site—but they’re free through Google. So we’re stuck with their crummy platform that doesn’t work well to manipulate images with writing, especially if you aren’t a techie who knows HTML. Trust me, I’ve tried for years to write articles without gaps between paragraphs and even between sentences. Sigh. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and be able to afford a professional hosting site someday.
