Reading 243: work
Like a pond under thin ice, things look stable but the base is fragile. Proceed with new tasks or big changes only after thorough checks, and step back to observe when unsure. Document the reasons behind important decisions.
Money
Avoid risky investments, guarantees and hasty promises. Protecting what you have is this year's biggest gain. Postpone costly decisions until the season changes and you will see the ice thicken.
People and relationships
A casual promise can come back as a burden. Clearly saying what you can and cannot do protects your relationships. In careful times, consult trusted people often.
A small habit for this year
Before a big decision, write three lines each on the upside and the risk. On thin ice, walking slowly is fastest.
