Being part of a con game
b
Something in your life is being influenced by flagrant dishonesty and emotional manipulation. Someone may be using your regard for him or your feelings for your relationship with him to grossly unfair advantage. The resources he may be commandeering with this weasely behavior include your time, your energy, your money, your caring concern, your love, and your material and physical possessions.
Often the "message" you are receiving from this person is along the lines of ... "If you really loved me," or "If you were really my friend," or "How can you think of hurting my feelings?" or "If you confront me on my dishonesty, I'll throw a tantrum."
The even less attractive possibility of this card in this position suggests you may be treating someone else this way. Whatever the case ... it's time for some new ground rules, for everybody's sake.
An extra piece of advice:
Knowing how you can be "played," conned, or manipulated is your best defense against unscrupulous tactics ... no matter who is trying to use them.

While men represent powerful activity as assertion and aggression, women in contrast portray acts of nurturance as acts of strength.

Today's Theme for Relationships
Inadequate rewards
b
Today's theme ... and the experiences that await you just around the corner ... bear directly on the whole theory behind providing work in exchange for money so that you can then purchase the goods and services you need to support yourself. It suggests someone involved in the structures of your life is either being cheated by being paid inadequately for the work he or she does, or is cheating someone else by doing half-hearted and slipshod work while still charging a pretty hefty price for what he provides.
This could indicate you are working far too hard in return for a rather miserable paycheck. It suggests someone is failing to pay you what you are worth in a transaction that involves possessions, material goods, an exchange of services, etc. It further suggests you are being taken for granted, "used," or not fairly appreciated by someone for whom you provide excellent service.
It could also imply you'll discover someone has charged you "full price" for careless and shoddy work. You may learn you are very unhappy with a purchase you've made ... or find you've been ripped off. You may find yourself actively conned, swindled, or robbed.
In the worst scenario, of course, you are the one who is cheating someone else, skirting the rules, trying to "pull a fast one," and not paying someone what you rightfully owe him. So ... consider this a warning, to either keep your eyes and ears open (and, as the buyer, beware!), to insist on adequate payment for the work you produce, or to get your act together and pony up what you owe someone for what he has given you.
Whatever the scenario ... you might be wise to remember your Karma.
An additional thought to ponder:
There is no free lunch. If someone is cheating you ... you have a responsibility to help him "correct" the error. If you are cheating someone else ... remember, what goes around, comes around again. So watch out for that backswing.

Each man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him.
But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor.
Then all goes well -- he has changed his market-cart into a chariot of the sun.

Today's Theme for Money and Practical Concerns
Misusing power
b
You may soon see how you are wasting some important opportunities, misusing valuable potential, or failing to capitalize on advantages that could be yours with the right kind of effort. Such a moment of recognition is the first step toward making the changes that will put the situation on track again. Be sure to use it that way.
An additional piece of advice:
Power is a precious commodity ... and applying it properly is an essential lesson of life. Being weak-willed, vacillating and spineless is a recipe for disaster. But so too is being abusive, dictatorial, and merciless. The more power you have, the more crucial it is that you use it wisely.

When once a man has made celebrity necessary to his happiness, he has put it in the power of the weakest and most timorous malignity, if not to take away his satisfaction, at least to withhold it. His enemies may indulge their pride by airy negligence and gratify their malice by quiet neutrality.
