Why does it feel like you're throwing good money after bad? Because you are. You were born under a sign that would rather buy its way out of a problem than sit down and take a hard look. Thankfully, Mercury moves from its opposition to Neptune on September 25th to a trine with Pluto on September 26th. This changes the mindset from panicked splashing around to gently moving with the current of events. Much of the advice you ignored before will come to mind, and instead of waving it away, it looks like you'll follow it – thereby escaping the corner you painted yourself into.
