You may feel intensely cautious today and wary of the prospects that present themselves to you at work and at home. A contact or colleague may present you with an intriguing business opportunity, or you may be offered a high-status position of responsibility. Though your curiosity may be piqued, your initial response will likely be an incredulous one. A conservative and careful mood may govern your choices and prompt you to approach uncertainty with a guarded mind-set. You may feel practical as you tell those presenting seemingly rewarding prospects that you need more time to consider the impact of both acceptance and refusal. As you muse upon such decisions today, calling to mind and contemplating the individual details of your situation can help you hone in on universally positive choices.

Adopting a conservative attitude when facing uncertainty empowers us to assess our circumstances from all angles before coming to a decision. Many individuals respond to the unknown by acting and reacting hastily in order to assert their decisiveness before their courage fails them. However, this hurriedness can cause them to overlook information vital to their situations. When we approach situational ambiguity with guarded yet optimistic caution, we are more apt to make decisions based on our concrete observations as well as our intuition. As a result, our choices, whether personal or professional, are marked by practicality and we have little to fear from the unknown. The conservative and somewhat skeptical mind-set with which you approach decision-making today will enable you to think your choices through.
