Your long-term plans are sizzling with extra heat right now, so stay alert for smoke. Even chitchat about politics or life’s ultimate meaning could get you hot under the collar today. But rather than activating your interactions, try de-escalating them instead. If you’re tempted to monologue about morality or your goals for the coming year, take a beat. In the moment, it may seem important to feel like you’re “right.” But in the long run, you’ll be glad you avoided getting singed.
