Turn down an invitation from friends. You won't have the time. Your workload is about to increase quite dramatically. Don't schedule anything else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 7 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Todav is a 6 There is one person who understands pretty well. Maybe more than one. At any rate, these are the folks you want to be with tonight. Even a phone call will work.
