2: Before you make any decision you must take all the consquences of it into consideration.

"1: Before you make any decision you must take all the consequences into consideration that it can have. " I don't like the first sentence because "that it can have" is separated from "consequences", also I'd use "may have". Your second sentence is better, though I'd say: "Before making any decision you must consider all the consequences that it may have", or "all its possible consequences".

I prefer the second. But I would add "possible" before "consequences". In that sentence, "of it" seems unnecessary.
