Take care of biz on Mon-Tues, as Time God Saturn streamlines the most sluggish obligatory crud.

Contradictory career info could spur you into a classic Ramzilla maneuver: speeding up to get past the obstacle or demanding instant clarity.

As Mercury, the Gemini ruling planet, graces your solar 8th house until mid-Feb, other people’s data, secrets and even their opinions should have a hazmat warning.
