Be prepared to counterattack. You will be taken advantage of financially if you trust a fast-talking sales person. You have so much to offer. Help a close friend find a solution to a pending personal problem. You will have opportunities and your contributions will be valued.
New friendships are likely.
You are also seeing very clearly what is not working in your life. Go with the good, get rid of the bad. You can be fairly serious when it comes to the way you feel about others. Your dedication and determination will help you master whatever you set out to do. Setbacks will only make you stronger, wiser and more intent on getting ahead.
