As Mercury stations retrograde, a financial merger brings unexpected surprises. At the very least, time is needed to pore over the fine print and ask some probing questions. Remember no query is beyond the pale, especially when money’s involved. If your spidey sense is tingling about a patron, grant, or loan, enlist advice from an advisor — or your most sensible friend. By getting a second opinion you’ll either feel affirmed or you’ll dodge a potential pyramid scheme. Win-win, either way.
