As joyful as it is to circulate among your many family and friend groups, sometimes you just need a little break during the mega-busy holiday season.  The holidays are typically a time where your intellect and gracious sociability can give you cross messages — and get you overbooked and overextended.  Don’t forget to weigh the pros and cons of your schedule, and book a little time for yourself! 

Gemini — The Mall

The chameleon of the zodiac, you are a complex and fluid being, my dear Gemini.  Your ability to shed your skin and become someone else entirely is something that other signs really admire about you.  Whenever things get too overwhelming, it helps you to go to a place where change is encouraged. And a side benefit is adding something new to your already fabulous wardrobe!

Whether it’s window shopping or finding yourself a brand-new look, the mall is a place of transformation and discovering new versions of yourself.  Even if you don’t actually buy anything, simply the act of trying on new clothes and the possibility of change will help you return to whatever problems you’re facing with a clear head and a fresh perspective.

Outdoor malls are strongly recommended. That way you can still soak in the sun and get an extra dose of Vitamin D while you meander through the shops and festive scenery.  However, if there’s not one near you, an indoor mall will do just fine.

Libra — Your Bathtub

While finding solitude is its own form of self-care, you like to practice actual self-care while you do it, Libra — and nothing says “self-care” like a warm, luxurious bubble bath!  Turn on the hot water and add some bubbles or your favorite bath bomb. Get some relaxing tunes ready, light a few candles, and you will reach peak serenity in no time! 

While the place is important, it’s more so the act of self-care that’s so relaxing for you. This is about the time and dedication you put toward maintaining your beauty, both inside and out.  You’ll feel your worries and cares slowly melt away, leaving you feeling fully pampered and refreshed.

While an hour-long bath at the end of your day would be scrumptiously ideal, a quick 15-minute face mask will do the trick. If you’re running short on time, pick something to match your time-frame so you don’t feel rushed.  Just don’t forget to dim the lights, light a candle, and play some soothing music while you relax.  The ambience is important to you. You won’t be able to calm your mind without shutting out the outside world.

Aquarius — Under the sky

You are the most logical of the zodiac, my lucid Aquarius.  But you also have a tendency to get lost in that beautiful, analytical mind of yours.  When you get too stressed or start overthinking things, you need to be reminded of things much larger than yourself.

Whether it’s staring up at the Milky Way expanding across the night sky or watching the huge fluffy clouds roll lazily by, for you there’s no better way to ground yourself than by staring into the universe beyond.

And the best part?  You can find your own little corner of solitude no matter where you are!  Even if it’s raining, just throw on your waterproof jacket and sneak outside for a few minutes.  Your loved ones know you well enough not to bother you when you need some time to yourself.
