Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 1 July 2010




Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You work faster than your colleagues, which is really frustrating. You're tired of waiting around for others so you can perform your job. Starting your own business will be a welcome challenge. You'll be able to set your own hours and avoid a long commute. If that's not possible, you may want to approach your boss for a more challenging position. You can't be happy unless you have a job that is mentally stimulating and physically demanding. Set your sights higher.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Playing team sports makes your creative juices flow. When your body is in motion, your mind is free to build castles in the air. Even getting together with friends for a game of football on the weekends can be inspirational. A child's interest in athletics should be encouraged. Learn as much as you can about their favourite pleasures and pastimes so you'll have a strong bond. Your approval means a lot to this child. Do whatever you can to spend quality time together.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) A home improvement project will add value to your place. If you're currently renting, think about buying a house or condominium. In a few years' time, your investment will pay off handsomely. Banks will give you a very low interest rate, provided you're willing to bargain. Bring along a good negotiator to ensure you get the best rate possible. Getting a raise or promotion is possible, so long as you're willing to push for one. Give concrete examples of what you bring to the table.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Taking a quick trip will give you the intellectual stimulation you crave. You're tired of doing the same chores day after day. Getting a change of scenery allows you to look at old problems in a new light. It will also help you to break away from a stifling routine. Taking up a new form of exercise or altering your diet will yield impressive results. Outdoor activities are especially favoured. Hiking, biking and rock climbing give you a sexy glow that is most attractive.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You have to spend money to make money. If you don't have your own private space in your home, it's time to create one. Whether this means screening off a sunny corner or building an extra room is up to you. The important thing is to have a haven from domestic activity. Put a lock on the door, keep a portable stereo in your space, and paint the walls a restful colour. Impose strict rules regarding when and how other members of your household can approach you.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) It's important to assert yourself in a group, or nobody will respect you. If someone keeps dismissing your comments, raise your voice. Stand up while you're making a point. Get in your detractor's face, if necessary. The sooner the group realises you mean business, the faster your suggestions will be taken. You'll get positive feedback from several members of the team who are impressed by the depth and breadth of your knowledge.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Working behind the scenes will attract favourable attention from your superiors. Right now, your colleagues are jockeying for position. Your low key attitude is a testament to your leadership abilities. People feel more secure with an authority figure who doesn't feel the need to create drama all of the time. The fact that you are willing to roll up your sleeves and do whatever is necessary to finish a job also works in your favour.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) If you need a letter of recommendation ask a well connected friend to write one for you. A single word from them will grant you entry to a college, company, or club. Although you'd rather get there on your own steam, that's simply not possible now. Take advantage of your connections and resolve to help somebody else when the time comes. If you're struggling with a court case, offer to settle. Dispatching this issue quickly and efficiently will allow you to move on to greener pastures.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Being willing to do the dirty work will help you up the ladder of success. Your colleagues have become too comfortable in their exalted positions. The fact you're willing to branch out and learn the more difficult aspects of your industry is a testament to your professionalism. If you're supervising a group of people, be sure to single out the most talented member of the team. By showing you are willing to recognise good behaviour; everyone else will be inspired to improve their performances.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Broadening your horizons puts you in the path of romance. Sign up for a class, go on a long distance trip, or launch a blog. You'll be amazed how much favourable attention you receive. If you have a lover, the two of you need to spice things up in the bedroom. Talk to your partner about acting out a fantasy or expanding your repertoire. The more adventurous you are, the closer your bond will become. Sexual taboos can be overcome through counselling.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Sparks may be flying between you and an attractive colleague. Be careful of acting on your impulses, or you could be in jeopardy of losing your job. If you want to have a serious relationship, one of you will have to find work in another company, or at least in a different division. If one of you is already in a committed partnership, you need to keep things purely professional or your reputation will be tarnished.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A friend or lover is pushing you to take a bold risk; take a deep breath and break away from a secure arrangement. It's scary to work without a safety net, but it's also exhilarating. You are blessed with lots of creative talent. Using it to launch a business, write a book, or master a musical instrument will give you great happiness. There might not be a lot of money coming in while you work towards your goal, but you can live on a tight budget.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 30 June 2010


Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
Saturday 5 June - Saturday 12 June - Saturday 19 June - Saturday 26 June

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) There won't be much opportunity to have fun today. You're simply too swamped with work. An annoying colleague drives you to distraction with their absent minded ways. You need to put them straight before they create any more problems. If your complaints fall on deaf ears, go directly to your boss. The powers that be need to know who is at the root of all this trouble. Fortunately, an attentive friend or lover will help you relax after hours. What a relief!

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Getting peace and quiet at home will be elusive. A repair project or houseguest throws everything into chaos. There's nothing you can do but grin and bear it. Lashing out against an innocent victim will only create resentment. Besides, you can't even summon the energy to get angry. If you need a decent night's sleep, you may want to bunk with a close friend for the evening. Be sure to bring earplugs, an eye mask, and your favourite pillow to ensure maximum comfort.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) The intellectual stimulation you crave is elusive. Everybody you have to deal with seems obsessed with gossip and popular culture. You're more captivated by the world of ideas. Hold tight; you'll soon be able to mix with people who share your passion for art, music, science and politics. Until then, you need the cooperation of your relatives, neighbours, and colleagues. Resist the urge to tell them exactly what you think of their ill informed opinions.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Luxuries are beyond your budget, so there's no point in thinking about them. Focus on creating a more financially secure future. If you have a job, get into the habit of putting a set percentage of money into a private savings account. This is especially important if you have an irresponsible partner. There's no reason you should suffer for their thoughtless extravagancies. If the two of you are in serious debt, consult a financial counsellor together or disaster could ensue.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It's hard to be gracious when someone continues to ignore your needs. No matter what you say or do, your friend fails to remember your likes and dislikes. Maybe it's time you parted ways. Being together just makes you depressed and anxious. Although your friend will be saddened by this break up, it will come as a huge relief to you. Maintaining a relationship out of guilt is always a losing proposition. Don't sign a contract, as it will contain clauses that run contrary to your interests.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Someone's lack of compassion is very distressing. You can't believe they can be so cold hearted in the face of trouble. This is your chance to step in and help someone who is less fortunate. Although you may not be able to do as much as the person in question, you can give a measure of aid and comfort. Your colleagues will be inspired by your actions and may launch a charity drive as a result. Never underestimate the power of numbers.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Don't rely on a friend to get you a job or membership. If you're going to move forward, you need to do so on your own merits. The road may be long and difficult, but that's often the case with anything worthwhile. You may not realise it, but your behaviour has a great impact on children. A young person who idolises you is patterning their behaviour after yours. If they see you working hard in the face of disappointment, they'll soon follow your example.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) It's important to view yourself clearly; you won't fool the public with a great show of charm and wit. People will see your real motives, no matter what you say or do. Taking advantage of your position will undermine your professional reputation. If you've made a mistake, admit it. Laughing it off will make you look callous and arrogant. Consider how your actions will affect your family. This is your chance to make amends for a terrible mistake.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A narrow minded associate is getting on your nerves. You're tired of their views and values. The only way to get them to stop is by making your displeasure known. Take them to one side and let them know how their comments offend you. Shaming them in a public setting will only add fuel to the fire. Treating them with respect and courtesy could actually help them change their ways. You might not be able to fundamentally change them, but they'll probably stop bothering you.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Beware of getting complacent. Just because you're comfortable now doesn't mean this will always be the case. Continue to put money away for a rainy day. If you feel guilty about having so much while others struggle, make a donation to charity. It doesn't matter whether you throw your support to a homeless shelter, animal sanctuary, or health clinic. The important thing is you use your good fortune to benefit others. One kind act leads to another; keep the good energy flowing!

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Seeing eye to eye with a close friend, fellow worker or romantic partner is practically impossible. The two of you see a political issue in very different ways. Instead of trying to convert each other, why not just live and let live? This will make for an uneasy alliance at first, but in time, you'll become accustomed to the truce. People think you are an impractical idealist, and there's nothing wrong with that. These days, cynics are two a penny.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Trying to make friends with certain cynics will be an exercise in futility. You're better off keeping your own counsel. In the meantime, cast your eyes around for a new job. You could find a good position at a government agency, house of worship, or cultural institution. Working on behalf of underprivileged people will speak to your soul. You've never been motivated by making big profits; as far as you're concerned, money brings out the worst in everyone!

Looks like an online dating scam - My name is lidan, i'm 29 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Aquarius

Whilst editing a post on http://en.gimeney.net/ a few women looked at my profile and I had a wink from one and this e-mail from Lidan. I suspected that it was a scam and it would seem that I was right as both the profile, letter and who has looked at my profile when I went back to the site today. Someone must have complained

[13:43, 27/06/10; ] lidan:

dear j i am very interested in you,can we become friends? this is my email lidan120123@yahoo.cn, can you tell me yours?

ID:

My name is lidan, i'm 29 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Aquarius. height: 169 cm. (5' 6"); weight: 52 kg. (114 lbs.); My native language is Chinese, but i also speak English.


I'm living in China, Beijing, Beijing Related links: China singles, Beijing personals, Beijing dating I'm not ready to move other city; I'm not ready to move other country;

I'm seeking for a man
  • must know Chinese or English.


Ethnicity:

Asian (Asian personals)

Religion:

Christian (Christian dating



If it is an independent scammer the photos could be stolen. If it is an agency they could be genuine, but you do not know if you are writing to the girl of a translator

Scenario - Probably the scammer (more than likely a male) is following the visitors as they come on line, having posted the profile with some photos of a lady too good to be true in advance. When a mark appears he sends them a message similar to the one above. It could be an individual or an agency looking to find victims for their translation services! Even on the free dating sites you must be wary, but on Gimeney they do not stand any nonsence from scammers. Having fallen for the uadreams.com translating operation I am very very wary and in any case after this very bad experience would not engage in a long distance relationship again.

Example - http://en.gimeney.net/forum/messages.cdiml?topic=1793 to see comments

From Matt to everyone в 12:41, 13/06/10

I believe the following profiles will try to bait members here to sign up with http://www.uadreams.com:

ID: 256940
My name is Alena, i'm 20 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Gemini.
Athletic build; height: 165 cm. (5' 4" ; weight: 43 kg. (94 lbs.);
My native language is Russian, but i also speak English and Ukrainian.

ID: 318513
My name is IAna, i'm 19 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Aquarius.
Athletic build; height: 163 cm. (5' 4" ; weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.);
My native language is Ukrainian, but i also speak English, Polish and Russian.

I can confirm from personal experience that Alena told me that her English wasn't so good and for ease of translation she wanted to send me a link to another site where she was a member, which would facilitate communication for her. Turned out I received an invitation to UA Dreams. But...at least the English language communication I received from her on UA Dreams is much better.

As for Iana, I noticed her profile on UA Dreams, too, and when questioning her on Gimeney as to her presence on UA Dreams of course I did not receive a reply.

UA Dreams tries to get its members to pay for outgoing correspondence, receiving pictures from ladies, video chat etc. I have little confidence in whether or not the correspondence is actually with the ladies or with some translator only. They tend to sandbag you when proposing Skype or other means of communication. That much I discovered with the three or five free letters they allow new members.

How many relationships are broken by 3rd parties? "Persuasion"

More than seven years prior to the events in the novel, Anne Elliot falls in love with a handsome young naval officer named Frederick Wentworth, who is intelligent and ambitious, but poor. Sir Walter, Anne's father and lord of the family estate of Kellynch, and her older sister Elizabeth are dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he is not distinguished enough for their family. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's deceased mother, persuades her to break off the match.

Now, aged 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former fiancé when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth, now a captain, is wealthy from wartime victories in the Royal Navy and from prize-money for capturing enemy ships. However, he has not forgiven Anne for her rejection of him.

The self-interested machinations of Anne's father, her older sister Elizabeth, Elizabeth's friend Mrs. Clay, and William Elliot (Anne's cousin and her father's heir) constitute important subplots.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 29 June 2010


Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
Saturday 5 June - Saturday 12 June - Saturday 19 June - Saturday 26 June

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You have great insight into other people's motives. This gives you an edge in negotiations. Take this opportunity to carve out a comfortable niche. Getting your own office is within your grasp. This will cause your peers to gossip, as they haven't been afforded the same privileges. Let them talk. You need privacy to operate effectively. If there's anything you hate, it's having some nitpicker look over your shoulder while you work. Stick to your guns; your persistence will pay off.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Emotions are very close to the surface and you won't be able to contain your anger at a member of the opposite sex. They have offended you with their crass comments and crude behaviour. The only way to put an end to this is to publicly confront them. This runs contrary to your reserved and understated way of doing things, but it has to be done. People like this get away with murder because they operate in the shadows. Shed a little light on the situation.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You inspire confidence wherever you go. Taking the helm of an ambitious project will cause your star to rise. Remember there is a lot of work to be done between now and then. There won't be many rewards until you cross the finish line. Working in obscurity is never fun, but it will help you avoid interference from your superiors. So long as you don't draw attention to yourself, you'll be able to put creative touches on this endeavour that would otherwise be impossible.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your reputation for being sympathetic and understanding makes you a popular figure. Someone who is undergoing a difficult time will seek your advice. Don't hesitate to deliver some painful truths, as the person in question needs to hear them. Fortunately, you will not be punished for your candour. On the contrary, you will be commended for your help and may be given access to an exclusive club or party as thanks. Steer clear of a small minded fellow worker who is trying to stir up trouble.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It's important to remain detached when dealing with a sensitive matter. A relative who has taken advantage of your generosity needs to be confronted. In the past, you were very sympathetic to their plight. Now you realise their sob stories were just fiction. If you're going to avoid being manipulated, you need to set some firm personal boundaries. Stop giving them access to your home and property. Don't let them call at all hours of the night and don't fall victim to their guilt trips.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your powers of discrimination serve you well. You know the difference between skim milk and cream, particularly when it comes to friends. If you sense somebody has made your acquaintance for opportunistic reasons, steer clear. You have better things to do with your time. People will be surprised by your aloof behaviour, but that's because they haven't detected this manipulator's true motives yet. Don't worry they'll soon find out the truth.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're a very popular figure, but have difficulty forming close relationships. It's because you're afraid to let down your guard with new acquaintances. Someone from your past betrayed your trust, and it's left a deep scar. Unfortunately, this has prevented you from enjoying the warmth and closeness of an intimate friendship. Drop your professional attitude with someone who has recently demonstrated kindness and compassion. Together, you will make a great team.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Putting on an aloof act prevents people from knowing how deeply you feel about certain matters. You're sick and tired of seeing one of your colleagues being bullied. Coming to their defence hasn't made any difference. In fact, it's only compounded the problem. Maybe it's time to bring the problem to your boss. If that's not an option, you need to find a healthier work environment. Look for a job involving education, travel, or publishing.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) If there's anything you hate; it's being on your own. Social pursuits make you feel alive and happy. If there's no party scheduled for this evening, invite some friends over for dinner and cards. You'll enjoy unwinding with your nearest and dearest. Money from a tax refund or inheritance helps you travel and see a little more of the world. Schedule a trip to visit a relative who lives a few towns away. The change of scenery will do you good. It may even inspire you to write a song or story.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You prize sincerity over all things. Someone who has proven their loyalty keeps rising in your esteem. It's possible you have developed romantic feelings for them. If that's the case, you need to make your desires known or you will suffer in silence when you could be deliriously happy. If you're already in relationship, try rekindling your passion for your amour. It's only a matter of returning to the early days of your courtship. Where there is a will, there's a way!

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Having a mind like a steel trap will come in handy. Someone who underestimates your abilities will try to confuse you. By spelling things out for them in words of one syllable you can quickly and easily set the record straight. This isn't the best time to ask for a raise or promotion. You'll make better use of your time by focusing on a small, seemingly insignificant job. By doing this task without complaint, you'll attract the attention of someone who admires your work ethic.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) The last thing you want to do is attract attention. You're far more comfortable sitting on the sidelines than occupying the spotlight. What you may not realise is that your shy attitude acts like an aphrodisiac on an admirer. Don't be surprised when someone comes forward to confess their undying love. While this attention is flattering, you're not especially interested in embarking on an affair. You cherish your independence too much.
