Holiday Horoscopes: How to Navigate the Holidays By Zodiac Sign
Dimensions
Suffice it to say, the last few months have been pretty rocky. While the holiday season should mean a delightful break from the chaos around us, that's often not the case. So, in true ~unprecedented times~ fashion, the holidays might be very intense for many.
With Mercury retrograde bringing travel delays and miscommunications from November 25 to December 15, as well as action planet Mars moonwalking from December 6 to February 23, 2025, we can expect a lot of drama headed our way. It's not a bad idea to book a massage or another self-care activity in advance.
Instead of having frustrating discussions with your family, I've compiled holiday horoscopes to help you navigate the season by zodiac sign, allowing you to best utilize your energy. The stars can foretell whether or not you'll choose to spark a friendly debate or dip out of the drama. Let your zodiac sign guide you towards having a merry time with these holiday horoscopes, because we all deserve a break right now.
Aries
It might be hard for you to hold back your feelings when people have views that don't align with yours. Rather than spend time arguing back-and-forth, stand firm in your beliefs by simply stating facts and dipping out. Intense arguments don't typically change people's minds, so you can feel confident that you've done your part by calmly sharing the truth, and leaving things there. Hopefully your opponent will see your side and better understand your POV after thinking about the info you present.
Taurus
If you need a break, take one. Listen to what your body tells you, and if you're tired, you should allow yourself to rest. It will feel good to chill away from the crowd for a moment. Be aware of how you feel to ensure you don't over do it. You should never push yourself to bite off more than you can chew. So, if that means scaling back your decorating efforts or buying fewer gifts so you can have more time to chill, do exactly that.
Gemini
Embrace your joyful nature, Gemini. When times are tough, you can always find moments of happiness. Time will fly if you bust out Monopoly or start a game of Charades — anything that everyone can participate in is ideal to be inclusive. Playing against each other will create a lot of laughs and memories that will harness fun. The match between your besties and fam will lead to inside jokes that last years and soften up the vibe.
Cancer
Distract yourself from the mayhem of the holiday season by bringing your artistry to the party. Focus on making the table settings beautiful and lush with seasonal flair. If you want to spend hours crafting a lovely bouquet of flowers, sweeping up leaves on the back porch and putting lights up outside, or wrapping gifts, do so. You'll find these activities to be meditative and relaxing amid the chaos.
Leo
You may receive a gift that's not your style or not what you wanted. Rather than huffing and puffing after you unwrap it, be polite and show appreciation for the thought given to it. Don't be a Grinch! Otherwise, you might receive a lump of coal next year. Stay on Santa’s nice list and be happy for the love — it’s what matters most.
Virgo
Take a walk before or after meals to get peace of mind. Getting fresh air will boost your energy and decompress your frustrations (things can get heated over holiday meals). It’ll allow you to avoid small talk with family members you haven't seen in a while, which is always uncomfortable — especially when you have nothing in common. Lace up your sneakers and make sure you have a scarf to keep warm.
Libra
Since you're usually the mediator when family and friends discuss politics, you will do your due diligence this holiday season to ensure the conversation doesn't get too rowdy. In between get-togethers, set boundaries via text for everyone to adhere to. Make a point system so that the loser who keeps getting out of control has to do the dishes and drive people without cars home.
Scorpio
Keeping up with your daily yoga routine will relax your body, mind, and spirit. Being one with yourself will allow you to remain present and mindful, as well as ease your stresses. No one can rain on your parade since you’ll be in the post-yoga glow-up. You will also have the capacity to take on any unexpected challenges or plot twists that come your way.
Sagittarius
Invite your crew over after the fam leaves to watch movies. It'll be good to vent to your squad (and vice versa) about the minor or major annoyances of the day. With your friends cheering you up, letting the sentiments roll off easily will be easy. You can rely on them to help you see the light in situations. Laughter is always the best medicine.
Capricorn
You don’t have to push yourself to extremes to achieve a divine dinner worthy of a Michelin star. The pressure is on at every festivity, so you should know that your best is beyond amazing. You don’t have to use gold foil calligraphy for the seating cards and serve expensive sparkling apple cider. It’s more about the company and the vibes there. Don’t go overboard!
Aquarius
Spend a morning or afternoon working with an organization like Meals on Wheels. You can bring delicious entrees to your neighbors with your BFF or sibling. Not only will this be an incredible act of kindness, but you’ll meet cool people with kind hearts who have amazing stories to tell. Plus, it’ll prove to be an awesome bonding experience with your driving partner.
Pisces
Energy is contagious, and being sensitive to other people's vibes means you should rejuvenate yours everyday. When you get home or the company leaves, take a relaxing, restorative, and healing epsom salt bath to cleanse your aura. You can sprinkle fresh or dried lavender flowers in the tub to ensure rest. You’ll wake up the following morning ready to take on the world.
