You know you have a great idea, but that's not what's staring back at you from the drawing board. What started out as brilliant and inspired looks flat and cliché. What to do? Take it apart and start again. Part of you will howl in protest. The deadline is looming, and people are expecting to see something, but trust the stars. You won't be happy if you turn in anything less than your best. The beauty of Mercury retrograde (November 25th to December 15th) is that bosses and clients are dealing with their own surprise cancellations and delays. They won't mind allowing for extra time.
