Dare you admit it: you're overly sensitive and you're letting minor issues get in the way of a close relationship. It hasn't been easy lately to keep a firm hold on your emotions. Today this is all the more difficult because you're allowing your vivid imagination to run away with you. Hiding your feelings won't help and neither will it be sensible to spurn friends who care. Some advice from a Piscean could help you deal with your strong emotions.

Who do you turn to when you need help and advice is coming to you from all directions? Conflicting information makes you wonder who to believe and what to do for the best. This week whenever you feel this way, you will have two options. Either put your faith in someone who came through for you in the past. Or delay decisions until after the 16th when Mercury turns direct and everything will look much clearer.

Take another look at an irritating problem that has so far defied solution. With a little imagination and divergent thinking, you could come up with the ideal answer. You may even wonder why you never thought of it before. A friend may introduce you to a New Age or spiritual subject. Consider ideas you may at first be tempted to reject. Tuning into your psychic self will help you discover a new perspective on life.

Problems that look minor and inconsequential could turn out to be complicated and time-consuming to fix. Little things that go wrong will sound costly to repair but there is a note of caution here. If you're calling in a plumber, electrician or builder get more than one estimate for the work. Hire someone who has a good reputation. Deceit is in the air so: beware.

You're starting to think along new lines. There may however be times when you are troubled with memories you would rather forget or phobias triggered by a past event. You can deal with these successfully now by seeing them for what they are. The past is past, over and gone. Refuse to allow what went on before to interfere with your life in the present and the future.

If a personal project isn't going the way it should and you envisage failure, pause and consider other options. Recently someone has offered advice you may have turned away. Today you will realise they did know what they were talking about. Bring other people into matters which up until now you have been dealing with independently. Enlightening discussions will help you overcome any mental hurdles.

Others seem to see you as the font of all wisdom; you feel you don't have all the answers. Someone is making a habit of coming to you for advice. In the past you have given them an inch, now they're taking a mile. If you don't feel experienced enough to tell them what they need to know, suggest they approach a professional. Offer an amateur opinion and it could all rebound on you in the future.

Why waste time reconsidering decisions already made? Your mind keeps mulling over past events as you wonder whether you made the best choices. The chances are you did. Stop worrying and start planning ahead because later in August, exciting things are going to happen. Recent decisions put you in line for additional responsibility. Single? A stirring and unforgettable romantic attachment is about to begin.

You need to be as flexible and adaptable as only your sign can be. There's also a need to be patient when with someone close and you won't find this as easy. Don't be surprised to find others are in an unpredictable and moody frame of mind. Plans already agreed on may come under discussion yet again. At least consider what others have in mind before you give their ideas the thumbs down!

Be extra alert if dealing with legal, tax or financial matters. Detail is important; the smaller the print, the more attention it should be given. There could be something lurking between the lines that could cause future problems. Rather than mental tasks, you're more suited to manual labour at the moment. You have the energy to get through any heavy physical work that needs doing.

Be patient if a long-standing relationship or friendship is going through problems. You have got this far and it would be defeatist to throw in the towel because you feel confused, perplexed and bewildered. It is not a good time to be frank about your feelings; your words are likely to be taken the wrong way. There's a tense atmosphere between you and another. You wish someone would make more of an effort to please you.

You're feeling sentimental, living in romantic memories and times-gone-by. This could have an adverse effect on a current relationship. You can't recreate past experiences no matter how hard you try. What you should be doing is creating happy memories now, to add to those ones you already have. Today, opt for projects that require imagination and if there is recognition or appreciation for a job well done, accept praise with grace.
