A recent variant is the Romance Scam, which is a money-for-romance angle. The con artist approaches the victim on an online dating service, an Instant messenger (like Yahoo IM), or a social networking site. The scammer claims an interest in the victim, and posts pictures posted of an attractive person (not themselves). The scammer uses this communication to gain confidence, then asks for money. The con artist may claim to be interested in meeting the victim, but needs cash to book a plane, hotel room, or other expenses. In other cases, they claim they're trapped in a foreign country and need assistance to return, to escape imprisonment by corrupt local officials, to pay for medical expenses due to an illness contracted abroad, and so on. The scammer may also use the confidence gained by the romance angle to introduce some variant of the original Nigerian Letter scheme, such as saying they need to get money or valuables out of the country and offer to share the wealth, making the request for help in leaving the country even more attractive to the victim. In a newer version of the scam, the con artist claims to have 'information' about the fidelity of a person's significant other, which they will share for a fee. This information is garnered through social networking sites by using search parameters such as 'In a relationship' or 'Married'. Anonymous e-mails are first sent to attempt to verify receipt, then a new web based e-mail account is sent along with directions on how to retrieve the information.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Getting your point across will be difficult. It seems like a neighbour or relative is wilfully misunderstanding you. This is their way of avoiding responsibility. Instead of discussing this issue rationally, you'll have to issue an ultimatum. Be willing to follow through with your threats or you'll be left doing all the work while your nemesis continues to go along their merry way. It may be necessary to make alternative travel arrangements while your car is being repaired or a bus line is rerouted.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Trying to buy someone's love is an exercise in futility. If you're going to win a child or lover's affection, you need to do so by being yourself. At first, you will be rejected. You can't expect their feelings to change overnight. If you continue to be loving and attentive, the tide will turn in your favour. Take care you don't smother the object of your affection, though. There's a difference between being caring and being overbearing.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) People aren't very receptive to your ideas, which is frustrating. Deep down inside, you know your approach will work best. Unfortunately, the powers that be are afraid of change. It looks like you'll just have to put up with the old methods until the system irretrievably breaks down. At that point, you'll be able to move in and save the day. Meanwhile, you'll need to find an outlet for your frustrations. Writing in your diary can alleviate stress. You may even be inspired to write a short story about your struggles.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) An emotional outburst causes people to back away silently. Nobody realised the pressure you've been experiencing. Now you've vented your frustration, you feel guilty and embarrassed. Try not to beat yourself up. As a general rule, you're pretty controlled. Every once in a while your feelings boil over and you can't contain them. Maybe you need to think of a way to express yourself in a more productive way. Activities like baking, gardening and pottery may be relaxing.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Emotional spending will get you into trouble. You need to find another way to fill the void inside. Spending more time with friends can help. Unfortunately, you've been so wrapped up in your own problems you may have alienated your closest confidantes. If your nearest and dearest don't sound excited at the prospect of seeing you, persist in asking for a meeting. Eventually, you'll wear down their reserve. Remember, relationships are a two way street.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep22) Talking sense to an authority figure will be difficult. Your boss doesn't seem to understand how their actions are affecting the team. Your only recourse is to keep your head down and continue working as best you can. In the meantime, look around for other work opportunities. You'll feel so much better when you take control of the situation. While you're busy sending out CVs and going on interviews, your superior will realise the error of their ways and try to correct it.
.
Libra (Sep23/Oct22) You can't help but wonder about a teacher's motivations. Although you admire this instructor's skills, you sense an air of resentment in your dealings. It's possible they are jealous of your natural talent. If you're going to get the full benefit of their knowledge, you need to adopt a humble attitude. Express appreciation for their help. If that doesn't work, you may want to get assistance elsewhere. Expanding your skills is hard enough without having to battle your teacher.
.
Scorpio (Oct23/Nov22) Worrying about someone close won't solve anything. You can't save people from their own angst. The best you can do is offer advice and then step out of the way. Turn them down if they come to you asking for money or you'll be reinforcing a bad habit. Sometimes love means having to be tough. It's possible the two of you will go your separate ways while your friend works out their problems. Console yourself with the knowledge you did the best you could.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec22) Problems in your personal life are starting to affect your job performance. You can no longer escape these difficulties by going to the office. If you want to maintain this relationship, think about taking a trip with the object of your affection. Getting counselling is another alternative. One thing is certain: You can no longer ignore your beloved's demand for quality time together. Reassess your priorities and put people ahead of work. Relationships are more trouble, but they're also more rewarding.
.
Capricorn (Dec23/Jan20) You won't be able to find a use for your expertise, which is really frustrating. Unfortunately, there are still bills to be paid. Be willing to take a job beneath your skill set. At first, your ego will sting at the indignity of doing routine work. In time you'll come to appreciate the straightforward tasks you've been given. A simple job might also give you the chance to work on creative projects in your spare time. When one door closes, look for an open window.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Sorting out joint finances could lead to a loud argument. It's only natural the two of you will experience conflict in this area. Each of you has very different values, which are reflected in the ways you spend money. Fortunately, a compromise is possible, provided each of you is willing to make sacrifices. Resist the urge to chastise the other. Instead, talk about what you both want for the future, and find a way to work towards that goal.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You can't make sense of your emotions right now. On one hand, you want to help a friend or lover with their problems. On another, you have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Something has got to give. Ask a trusted relative for advice. Their suggestions may surprise you, but they're worth following. You must admit you have a tendency to play the martyr. The sooner you drop this act, the better your relationships will be.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) It's important to maintain realistic expectations of what your friends can and cannot do for you. Just because you're celebrating a special occasion doesn't mean a loved one will be able to drop everything and run to your side. In fact, your pal may have serious responsibilities that cut into their leisure time. If you want to do them a favour, curtail your own plans and help them with groceries, laundry, or childcare. There will be plenty of time to have fun later.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Don't expect your boss to fall in line with your personal plans. A staffing problem will require you to put in extra hours at the office. You might even have to cancel an upcoming holiday. If you have to choose between a youngster's recital and a work assignment, the decision will be painful. Ultimately, you may have to err on the side of work, if only to ensure regular payment. Your young friend won't understand, and it will take some time to regain their trust.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Sometimes it's more important to have practical skills than specialised knowledge. If someone offers to show you how to change a tyre or cook dinner, take them up on it. Even learning a few words of a foreign language can come in handy. Repairing a broken piece of furniture will save you lots of money. These days, we need to learn how to make existing resources stretch further. Throwing things away in an indiscriminate manner is just wasteful.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You won't have the resources to finance a creative project, which is a real disappointment. Don't worry. You will be able to launch this project in the near future, when your finances improve. In the meantime, focus on mending a rift between you and a loved one. The two of you said hurtful things. Find a way to express your feelings without being so destructive. It's more important to resolve your problems than score points off one another.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Be fair when making demands of a friend or lover. Although you're undergoing a difficult time, your partner has their own troubles. Take this opportunity to enquire after their health and well being. You may be shocked to discover your beloved has been harbouring a painful secret. Take this opportunity to join forces and fight your enemies. You'll feel far less despondent when you form an alliance. Clearing your work space of clutter will make you a lot more productive and efficient.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep22) A mysterious ailment makes you worried and you can't seem to find the source of this problem. Instead of dwelling on your aches and pains, divert your attention to a pleasant activity. Working with your hands can be engrossing. Get your hands dirty with paint, clay, wood or material. Nothing takes you out of your body than exercising your imagination. Meantime, schedule a thorough examination with your doctor for next week, when the problem will be detected with relative ease.
.
Libra (Sep23/Oct22) You're sorely tempted to sit back and have a good time while everybody else toils away. Resist this temptation, or you'll make some powerful enemies. Everybody is expected to work now, even if it means cancelling personal plans. Jobs are too scarce to risk getting fired. Besides, you're integral to the team's success. If you don't perform your tasks, the whole endeavour will suffer. Dispatch your duties as quickly and efficiently as you can. With luck, you might have some free time at the end of the day.
.
Scorpio (Oct23/Nov22) Just because your family holds certain principles doesn't mean everyone else has to share them. In fact, you could learn some valuable lessons by adopting other people's beliefs. It's all a matter of perspective. Yes, it's admirable that you hold your kin in such high esteem. Until you're able to view them objectively your relatives will seem more like idols than human beings, and that's not healthy for anyone. An over emotional boss will drive you crazy with their childish outbursts.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec22) It will be difficult to discover what is wrong with an appliance or car. Wait until next week to bring this device in for repairs, or you'll be throwing good money after bad. Fortunately, a wealthy friend will be able to lend you one of their extras. Don't look this gift horse in the mouth. You'll have to move quickly to get a promotion. The competition is fierce. Fortunately, your skills and efficiency will put you at the top of the pile of candidates.
.
Capricorn (Dec23/Jan20) Money has been coming in at a pretty good rate, but that doesn't mean you should be careless about spending. Resist the urge to buy a beautiful luxury item. This purchase will end up costing you even more money than you thought. Repairs, upkeep, and storage will put a serious dent in your budget. Keep your hard earned cash in the bank, where it will grow and multiply. If you have some outstanding debts, pay them off now, while you are able.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Looking at life through rose coloured glasses will lead to a great disappointment. A youngster who has been struggling at school needs practical help, not just pep talks. If they are being bullied, you need to demonstrate some self defence moves or their problem will become utterly intolerable. A powerful bureaucrat will speed up an insurance or inheritance payment. Put this money into a savings fund. Having a nest egg will give you an added measure of independence.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Don't make assumptions about a colleague's motives. It may seem like they are plotting against you, but the truth is quite different. They're just worried about your unorthodox methods and are taking extra steps to ensure a job will be finished before its deadline. You resent these precautions, because they make you look irresponsible and frivolous. Having a heart to heart talk with your colleague can clear the air. Take them for a coffee and explain how you feel.
