A Faustian bargain is never advisable, but sometimes they're a necessary evil. That's the quandary you'll find yourself in on December 3rd when Venus squares Pluto. This is one of the occasions when the only person who can help is the last one you'd ever turn to if you had a choice. Think of the little Mermaid trading her voice for human feet so that she can pursue the prince of her dreams. Only you can decide if this sacrifice is really worth it. There's nothing wrong with backing out, but should you agree then you need to accept that the cost will be steep.
