AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ve been planning long enough. It’s now time to jump in. It doesn’t need to be a beautiful dive, either. This is about getting into the mess and figuring out what you know and what you don’t know. This feeling you have of being entirely unprepared, rest assured everyone who has ever had the taste of success has had this feeling.
