With Mercury, planet of the intellect, arriving in quirky Aquarius today, you can find the right person and the right words to get the advice you need. You're concerned that your current plan is too ambitious. But it's not. Just ask.

Yes, there's a 'been there, done that' feeling. But if you look for the bigger picture, you'll reach understanding that frees you to move forwards, unencumbered by a past memory.
