If you’re returning to work after the holiday break, it could turn out to be a rude awakening. And even if you’ve been back in the routine round since the beginning of January this could still be an uphill week. There may be no way to please certain people and no easy way to resolve a problem, but losing your cool and pulling up a drawbridge is not a solution. Mercury heads into the zone of relating, raising the prospect of important discussions to come, and if one of them is set for the next few days, expect the sparks to fly. Maybe it is the time to sever a connection, but it would be sensible to consider all the consequences before you do so.More ups than downs.
