____________________________________________________________________________
Sagittarius, November 23. Those born on this day always openly express their displeasure with various forms of power and oppression.
They don't take anything for granted. This does not mean that they are organically incapable of keeping the generally accepted commandments - they just need to make sure that their faith is justified and true.
If they have no respect for the rules imposed from the outside, their reaction will be either tacit, or laconic, or they will simply get by with an eloquent gesture.
As a rule, such people are always inferior in arguments, but their main problem is the tendency to provoke conflicts and skirmishes.
Those born on this day demonstrate an unusually pugnacious nature in dealing with those whose company they cannot stand, so it is better for them, with rare exceptions, to be alone altogether.

Holidays
November 23
Black Friday
On the first Friday after American Thanksgiving Day, traditional Christmas sales season begins in Western countries.
This is a day of huge discounts and sales, the main holiday for all shopaholics and a great solution for those who want to save.
On this day, the stores receive from 20 to 50% of their annual revenue, and people are dying every year in the mass crush in the largest shopping centers. Not without a share of sarcasm this Friday in November is called “Black Friday”.
The tradition of unrestrained shopping originated in America in the 19th century, when the largest retails began to arrange grandiose Christmas sales, stimulating buyers to buy with incredible amounts of discounts, bonuses, special gifts, etc. And the term “Black Friday” itself appeared only in 1966 in Philadelphia.
There are two generally accepted versions of the origin of the name.
By one, the day was so called because of the huge traffic jams that formed the day after Thanksgiving.
On the other, the name ''Black Friday'' was due to the way of keeping accounts on that day. The losses were recorded in red ink, and the profits were black, and since the proceeds were huge on that day, the black color prevailed in the reports.
Refuse Purchases Day
The idea of this holiday-action originated in America in 1992. An initiative to refuse to make purchases was made by Canadian journalist of Estonian origin Kalle Lasn. In his opinion, the cause of the financial crisis should be sought not in liquidity or unregulated markets, but in a culture of excessive and thoughtless consumption.
The terms of participation in this promotion are simple - within 24 hours you need to abandon any acquisitions. In addition, activists hold actions under the motto “For the sake of peace on earth, do not buy anything!” to attract public attention. Shares are peaceful demonstrations in shopping malls, as well as the display of “anti-advertising” commercials reporting that the average US resident buys five times more goods than a Mexican, ten times more than a Chinese, and thirty times more than Indian citizen.
