It seems as if someone picks fault in everything you say and do. Even compliments are taken the wrong way when a friend or colleague thinks you're being sarcastic. Emotions could get heated but why make yourself miserable over matters that won't seem half as bad tomorrow? Today a cautious approach to people and events is advisable. Day dreaming might also be a welcome and healthy form of escape.

For your own peace of mind, it's important to bring any hidden fears or worries you have out into the open. Whether it is a job, financial or family problem that's bugging you, there's no need to spend hours brooding and fretting about it. Discuss your uncertainties and you could be surprised at the helpful response. You need to feel matters will be sorted out soon and other people feel the same way.

Ignore the temptation to turn your back on chores and duties you know in your heart must be carried out today. Even if you're only doing something to keep someone happy, this will make you happy within yourself too. You wouldn't feel right if you were to ignore your obligations to friends and it would be better to offer assistance out of the kindness of your heart than through a sense of duty.

Mood swings throughout the day make it difficult for others to know where they are with you. You aren't as sensitive to atmosphere as normal. Saying something inappropriate in a professional situation could give others the wrong impression of your capability. You may be wrestling with some inner unease but you should not let this distract you from your main concerns. In some situations you must try to turn off your feelings.

A mental block makes it difficult for you to come up with fresh ideas when they're needed. Other people are full of suggestions. They don't seem to notice you haven't come up with anything new yourself. Whether new methods are being discussed or opinions are being shared there is a lot to be gained from listening to and acting on other people's ideas. Soon you will feel inspired to come up with a few of your own.

The serious mood hovering around you almost tangibly this morning lingers throughout the day. Those who try to persuade you into dubious schemes and ventures will soon realise common sense is your ally. Someone wants money out of you. You aren't interested in their proposal and there is no way anyone can get around you today. You intend to keep a firm grip on any spare cash in your possession!

Those who know you well won't be surprised if you are having second thoughts about something already agreed on. Your natural tendency to change your mind could grow stronger with each passing hour. Instead of wasting time wondering what to do, take a deep breath and go with what you know is right. Even if it means a change of plan you will feel better once you've made a firm decision.

You haven't the energy to get through all you had planned to do; cut out unnecessary chores. There's a reclusive mood about you. You have been letting life get on top of you and now you need time on your own to recoup. Be honest with others and let them know you want to be left to your own devices. People will respect your wishes. Once you're on your own try to keep your thoughts upbeat.

Friendships and social affairs come under mixed influences; one friend lets you down another can't do enough for you. Older people test your patience by being vague or narrow minded, refusing to consider alternative points of view. You struggle to get your ideas across but by the time tomorrow dawns, these same people will be more obliging and amenable. Today, therefore, focus on like minded friends.

It won't be easy to persuade your boss or someone who matters that you know what you are talking about. New situations make you uneasy; people are worried about making decisions that may reflect badly on them in the future. If you have had previous experience push yourself forward. Your practical skills are matched by your confidence and brilliant ideas. Be sensible about diet and health matters in general.

If participating in a dangerous sport pay heed to strict safety guidelines. You are both mentally and physically agile and keen to get out and about. Not being in the mood to stay in the one place for too long, you might agree to something on the spur of the moment you would have preferred to think about. Spontaneous decisions will be a lot of fun and others will find your enthusiasm contagious!

If a partner doesn't agree with your financial plans, you may have to adapt your ideas to fit in with their suggestions. Legal and money problems can be resolved if you are willing to compromise. A solicitor or accountant's advice is worth heeding. Worry about decisions you have to make and the strain this puts on a close relationship is not good for you. Combat stress in any way you know works well for you.
