For Monday, Jan. 28:

Often this year you will need to start from square one. How you deal with someone and the end results could vary substantially, as you often note confusion or mixed messages. Learn to confirm what you have heard. If you are single, you’ll head in a new direction or start on a new life course. If you are attached, spend more quality time together. GEMINI always provokes your mischievousness.
