Sort through old files, stacks of paperwork or periodicals that you have yet to read. You're apt to come across data that is more relevant to you now than if you had read it when it first arrived.

Communication break down.
Anticipate crossed wires, misunderstanding, confused communications and incorrect information. Double check all relevant information for accuracy. Take time to verify instructions, numbers, directions and appointments. People tend to change their minds in mid-stream and back out of contracts or agreements at the last minute. It is NOT in your interest to complete contracts during this cycle.
