You can get all fired up to act on finishing something up once and for all. There will likely be facets to it that cannot be totally finalised or if you think that is it, it won’t be. That will happen September to November. Right now, to early February, you can make clearer decisions on obligations that might have been confusing during December.

Goals can become clear that might have been difficult to sort out during December. You will be able to recognise where productive opportunities may lie when it comes to future development. Don’t be tempted to take on risky financial ventures that somebody else says is a good thing. If you don’t know the facts thoroughly, pass it by.

You can have different experiences with different people. Someone could disappoint you with what becomes obvious is their lack of commitment. Then there can be a person you least expect ready to engage in a serious manner. They could have held back in December but you can rely on any decisions they make from now to early February.

Any agreements you make with somebody else from now to early February can be relied on in the future. In some ways you could feel that another person is supporting you in fulfilling a future desire. How you will balance what needs to be dealt with on a daily basis could be the unknown element right now but just take it as it comes.

If you feel dissatisfied with what you didn’t fully accomplish during December, from now to early February you can get a lot done, as long as you put your mind to doing something each day. You might also realise that this year is not going to be as quiet as you might have wanted, when it comes to your involvement with other people.

This is an excellent time to discuss and come to an agreement with somebody else in relation to more pleasurable pursuits in the future, which could include travel. Something that kept changing during December could become settled from now to early February. Don’t allow somebody else create confusion with what you want to establish.

You can get on, from now to early February and finalise the manner in which you want something structured that didn’t seem to work in December. It might be that details will become clearer now or you are more aware of the level of work required. The way somebody else has managed such things might be a helpful guide as well.

Agreements can be more easily made now that wasn’t possible during December. Much of this could be due to you having gathered more information or others being prepared now to accept your ideas. This is likely to have some connection to whatever needs to be managed on a daily or regular basis. Something will no longer be necessary.

Take a balanced approach to anything that lacks clarity when it comes to putting things in place that should create a solid foundation to work from. This is one time when you should not be tempted to overlook details. This can be the next stage, from now to early February, to sort out something that should have been done in December.

Mercury, the planet of thought and communication is back in your sign until 5th February, providing you with the opportunity to finally get things sorted that didn’t seem to work that way in December. You can be highly energised, as well as determined to bring an end to doing things in certain ways or getting rid what you see as no longer necessary.

From now to early February is excellent for you to think about the things that give you an underlying sense of freedom in life. This would be things that money cannot buy. It might be in conflict with what you think is important but really cannot afford at the moment. What you need though can be afforded. Becoming comfortable with yourself is a powerful thing.

You can become more settled, from now to early February with decisions that affect you on a personal level that seemed all over the place in December. You could either come across the right information or have a conversation that points out the facts and clears up many previous doubts. It will make it easier to handle the necessary obligations.
