This year, an aura of confusion surrounds communication. You could be exhausted from having to clear up misunderstandings often. Learn techniques like echoing, confirming, etc. If you are single, your willingness to step up to the plate and assume responsibility catches someone’s eye this year. If you are attached, the two of you will need to make time for each other, as work or another responsibility demands so much of your time.
