The PoetAstrologers share their astrological advice for weathering the family drama that comes with the holidays.
Dear Astro Poets,
I'm an Aquarius who isn't "good" at the holidays and I don't exactly like them either. Around the end of November I notice that just browsing Twitter and Instagram I'll start to get depressed because everyone is so "happy" . My moon is in Sagittarius and I always feel like I'd rather take a vacation for one than have to put up with everyone in my family.
Being an Aquarius—one of the most heady, honest, and no nonsense signs—I can see why this bothers you. Aquarians love to have people around them, but they have to be people they've chosen and people they genuinely trust and respect. In other words, anyone they don't have to perform in front of. We think that those people should be our family, but that's not necessarily always true.
I've both endured the holidays and also done what you suggest several times—taken a vacation away from everyone right in the middle of them. Both have been stressful. Because even by yourself there's the strange guilt the culture puts on you to "feel the holiday spirit"—whether that's online or hearing Christmas music while you wait in line for cigarettes. What you have to remember is that the holidays are like Mercury retrograde.

Sara Lee Didn't Ask for ThisIn a very funny Saturday Night Live sketch (and episode) this weekend, Harry Styles and Bowen Yang teamed up to destroy Sara Lee’s social media brand, with Styles’s hapless employee turning its Instagram into meditations on lonely threesomes and Yang’s supervisor uploading a photo of himself at a harness party to the account. It was a great skit (and probably a Julio Torres/Yang production), though it sparked some online speculation that it was another one of SNL’s weird branded content bullshit. Based on what happened next, though, it seems that was not the case.
