Should you believe that insider tip, veiled warning, or off-the-record conversation on December 11th? Yes. The last aspect Mercury makes before turning retrograde on December 13th is to your Ruling Planet Venus, so it would be a good idea to take this information seriously – no matter how questionable the source. What makes the situation dicey is that you will be sworn to secrecy, and this is a confidence you must uphold if you want to avoid trouble. Part of you may feel guilty for knowing the things you know, but you'll be glad you remained tight-lipped when things play out as predicted on December 29th.
