NDN Horoscopes Christmas Edition: Bill’s Right On Blog

JANUARY Kisê-pîsim

 – The Great Moon – Deer. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Skype and LinkedIn are all great and I’m super happy that you have all your connections out there.  But being a keyboard warrior and posting links or rants and raves can only do so much. Get out there, let your ideas grow in the sunlight of companionship! People are starting to think you’re a mole for the other side… Neechi Santa is bringing you a day planner and a bus pass!

FEBRUARY Mikisiwi-pîsim 

– The Eagle Moon – Eagle.

Quit arguing with your compass app on your phone – look at the stars! You know, the Big Dipper? Those two stars at the end of the pot make a line right to the North Star! Stand towards it and you’re facing north. Now that you know that, you’ll know your significant other was right all along and you should turn around… Now.  Neechi Santa is bringing you a paper map and a marker for your next trip.

MARCH Niski-pîsim 

– The Goose Moon – Cougar.

Bead! Bead like the Master Beader you are! Now that powwow season has come to an end and you have time, don’t be afraid to take orders, people have been admiring your designs all year! Take the plunge, charge some money and buy an extra bucket of KFC! Or maybe something less greasy since you need your fingers to be nimble and dry! Neechi Santa is bringing you string, cloth and beads!

APRIL Ayikî-pîsim 

– The Frog Moon – Beaver.

And it’s round dance season! Away you go with your snagging blanket and lucky bingo dabbers so you can say you’re always prepared.  And of course, your Métis sash so you can swing and sway the Indian way – or jig the night away with the fiddle in the band! But wherever you go, make sure you know which snag makes the best fry bread! Neechi Santa is bringing you a deep fryer!

MAY Sâkipakâwi-pîsim 

– The Budding Moon – Bear.

Quit trying to have the moves like Jagger! You’re always trying to be like someone else when you should really be trying to be the best that YOU can be. At the end of the day, it’s all about you being you because that’s who The Creator put you here to be. Develop your own styles, do your own plans, find your own way; then you’ll see yourself blossom. Neechi Santa has self-help books for you!

JUNE Pâskâwihowi-pîsim 

– The Hatching Moon – Thunderbird.

You’re Neechi Santa!  I don’t know how you’re going to do it but Christmas shopping must start now! I know, I know, normally you wait for Boxing Day to get all your gifts so you can show up late. But this time, all the nieces and nephews are catching on to your ways and are looking for your gift under the tree. Get shopping Neechi Santa!

JULY Paskowi-Pîsim 

– The Moulting Moon – Coyote.

Ever since moving to town, your hunting skills have adapted to your new way of living. You know the phone number of every Chinese restaurant within a 50 mile radius, if they deliver and how long a round trip takes! But maybe it’s time to look at some healthy eats – veggies, and less breads, you know – balance! Neechi Santa is bringing you a treadmill.

AUGUST Ohpahowi-pîsim 

– The Flying Up Moon – Mouse.

Hoka hey my friend! Load that car up for round dance circuit and don’t forget the bingo nights! While your partner beads the winter away, make some extra sooniya’s driving people around taxi style! But turn your phone off when you go to bed. Otherwise, you’ll be making trips to town until at least 2 a.m.! Don’t be shy, Neechi Santa is bringing you business cards!

SEPTEMBER Nôcihitowi-pîsim 

– The Mating Moon – Salmon.

Band office politics. Eeeee… You read that and your teeth are already grinding, eh? Maybe it’s time to take a vacation, use some of that time you’ve built up and go do something nice. Remember, the band was there before you and will be there after you leave – take some time for yourself. Neechi Santa is bringing you coupons for a massage.

OCTOBER Pinaskâwi-pîsim 

– The Migrating Moon – Turtle.

Ok ok, Grand Theft Auto V is the greatest GTA ever made and now that you’ve wrapped it up, maybe it’s time to go out and earn some real accomplishments. Money and jobs ain’t just gonna drop into your lap just because you know somebody who knows somebody my friend. Nope, Neechi Santa is bringing you an old laptop to update your resume with.

NOVEMBER Iyikopiwi-pîsim 

– The Frost Moon – Wolf.

Your baloney may or may not have a first name but if that name happens to be Goodyear it’s time for new tires. In fact, just winterize your little war pony for another winter. Get new antifreeze, an interior heater, winter oil and windshield fluid that’s good to -500 because you don’t know how cold it gets at night like your car does. Neechi Santa is bringing you an extension cord.

DECEMBER Pawâcakinasîsi-pîsim 

– The Frost Exploding Trees Moon – Spider.

Get together with the family. Laugh. Love them. Hold them close. You don’t need Neechi Santa because you got each other. That goes for all the other clans as well. Forget the insults of the past year, forgive the wrongs, and end the year with hugs. Merry Christmas everyone! From myself, the family and everyone here at RezXSouth! See you all next year!
