You may have "painted yourself into a corner" recently with something you said incorrectly or prematurely, and now you have to find your way out. You could wait for the proverbial paint to dry, dear Scorpio, when others might forget about what you said. However, you would be better off facing it squarely, admitting your mistake, and creating a new and better plan. That way you won't waste your own time or anyone else's, and you'll be a whole lot more efficient and effective - which is your preferred way of doing things.
