This year you often find yourself confused or in situations where misunderstandings cause a problem. Learn better ways of communicating. Learn to confirm appointments as well as what you thought you heard. If you are single, move in a new direction as far as meeting people. If you are attached, the two of you should consider a weekend workshop in communicating. Pisces draws you out.
