Don’t expect life to return to normal right away (you’ll have to wait until February 24 for that) but at least it will start to make sense again after weeks of miscommunications and mishandlings.  You may even benefit from recent mishaps if you play your cards right.  For instance damages incurred around December 29 could result in a compensation package that more than makes up for what you lost.  All you have to do is ask.  Mercury provides the passkey to hidden opportunity.  Signs most affected:  Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Aquarius, and Pisces
