Gemini by Sidney Hall 1825 {{PD-Art}}

No matter what you do or don’t celebrate, it’s the holiday season–there’s no way to avoid it. In the newsletter I shared a few tongue-in-cheek suggestions for how to survive this annual time of family, food, fights, fun, fruitcake, and all those other ‘f’ words, and I’ll be sharing a little advice for each sign, one at a time. Your Nemesis, listed at the end of the sign, suggests who might be out to sabotage or just give you a hard time, while your angel is the sign energy you can call on in others for assistance, and your personal elf or cherub is the sign energy that will cheer you up and work behind the scenes to make your holiday special. Watch for the rest of the signs during the coming weeks.

Gemini  It’s all light-hearted banter with you, isn’t it, until someone loses a figurative eye as your barbs get pointier and pointier from holiday tension?  You network, you schedule, you flirt and cajole and fast talk others into so many overlapping commitments that when they finally turn on you, wanting to know what you’re going to contribute, you feel betrayed–after all, you’ve done all the assigning and scheduling and deciding and thinking and worrying, and gosh, that’s exhausting, it’s the hardest part of the holiday, the planning! You’ve invited criticism, and in an effort to make it up to others you may agree to sell your first born or to make the entire holiday dinner at both your parents’ house and your in-laws’ house. Over-committing is your problem, whether you’re doing it for others or doing it to yourself. It’s very simple: don’t put yourself in charge of everybody’s to-do list. But let’s be fair, Gemini, you often find yourself the target of gossip, innuendo, and catty remarks, not because of anything you’ve done, but because others are jealous of your social butterfly ways, and that can make the holidays trying as  you must deal with two-faced interactions and undermining by those who are less appealing, and know it. The remedy for this may be twofold: grow a thick skin, and don’t hold back a thing when it comes to showing off your sparkling and engaging personality. Why? Because nothing bugs your frenemies like seeing you at the top of your game, and at the center of the social whirl, right where you belong. Your Nemesis this holiday season: Taurus, Cancer, or Sagittarius/ Your secret angel: Aquarius/ Your own personal elf or cherub: Libra
