Caution and discipline will help you avoid making mistakes this year. You’ll have plenty of opportunities, but being selective will be necessary to come out on top. Refuse to let anyone lead you astray. Step up, ask questions and decide what’s best for you. A take-charge attitude and aggressive search for the truth will protect you from anyone taking advantage of your kindness and generosity.
