| | Questions from Interviews
I have been interviewed a lot on morning drive radio programs regarding my thoughts astrologically on the U.S. and war on terrorism. I was on the Ed Clancey show last week in New Orleans and here's a few questions you may find interesting that we discussed. Thanks to all of you who have written with suggestions that I share my thoughts about the war in the newsletter.
What's the United States' future relationship with France?
Troubled. We're looking at two war horses here. The French president is not going to back down on his views and is quite arrogant in defending his position. Pres. Bush likewise, is not going to back down either from his position. So, we have President of France gaining more favor from countries in the next few weeks over who we thought were OUR allies. At the very least he is creating confusion and uncertainly among some allies that are listening intently to his side. I think the situation will cause animosity between the two countries. Thus, we may not accept their exports. In war, France will not back us. But down the road, they will realize they need us economically and attempt to patch the relationship up. I said this same thing on this program last year... that allies that were once on our side, will oppose this war in 2003 and that's exactly what's been happening
Iraq and US - will it come to war? or will we settle the war peacefully?
First let me say, I think the collective consciousness, the prayers of the masses of people all over the world, have already stopped some things from happening.
I'm afraid Bush will try to go it alone and we will have Britain on our side, but the rest of Europe may back away from war and remain neutral. This is not just a vendetta Pres. Bush has to finish. I'm not so sure the current conditions can be ended peacefully because Iraq will continue to make nuclear weapons. We're caught between a rock and hard place. We're dammed if we do and dammed if we don't. There are several astrologic periods that are very threatening: the planet Saturn turns direct on Feb 22, this could mean increased military aggression, coming under attacks, threats or opposition from other nations. This can also be expected throughout the entire month of March. The next new moon on March 3rd could bring more concerns. Things come to light on the full moon two weeks later. The energy is exploding now but not within the war...it's happening all over our country with the nightclub fires, the Toys R Us' roof caving in, the Challenger and all of the other crazy things that are happening in the news these past weeks. Expect more of the same I'm sorry to say.
There is an eclipse the end of May that affects the US and then Saturn (tests, limitations, problems) goes into the sign of Cancer. The United States is July 4th (Cancer) so tensions will increase over the next few months. If we're not at war in March by late Spring we very well could be.
What will happen with US and Korea?
We have been very focused on Iraq, Osama and Saddam. For a while there Korea's threat had taken a back seat. I feel they could become a bigger threat than Iraq. I think we will fight Korea too. They may attack us at the same time we are attacking Iraq and we'll have to defend ourselves from more than one country.
Offense against Al Queida Network?
This is difficult. If we kill Osama and we take Saddam out, these cells and networks are still alive. Osama eludes to the fact that he may martyr himself for his cause sometime this year. If that's the case, how many of his followers will follow in his footsteps for the cause? The only offense we can choose is to beef up security, don't take anything for granted and be on alert. Look what happened in Miami the other day, a guy was arrested for trying to carry a jar of gasoline and matches on a airplane. My friend who lives there said he was released with a fine. What? This guy is going to try it again I'm sure. We either live in a state of fear or we put ourselves on high alert but keep on with our lives.
Economy?
In 2004, we may see massive layoffs. If you have a good secure job, keep it. Don't jump ship unless you're job is disposable. We'll get thru this but it may take 2 1/2 years. Save money. Avoid risky investments. Pay off debt now. Get a job that is service oriented....one that everyone will need your service.
Are the anti-war protests going to affect Pres. Bush's decision regarding war?
No, I don't think so. The bottom line is President Bush is a Cancer and has a tough road ahead of him. The next few years is the toughest for people born under the sign of Cancer in 30 years.
CLOSE
As we close, let me say prayer is very powerful. I don't want to sound preachy but the power of prayer is stronger than any Al Queida network or Saddam or war. Think peace. Our country is strong. If we go to war, we will come out of it okay. Bruised, broken down but we will survive and become a much stronger and spiritual country because of it. We're such a materialistic society, that war may make us come back to what's really important, family and God. What's the first thing people did when 911 occurred? They went to church to pray. They went home to be with family. They had candlelight prayer vigils. Our country may become much more spiritual and get back to what' really important tin life. We will be forced to and we will become better people because of it.
We have already stopped many problems from happening by our prayer and thoughts of peace. We can continue to do this...as you're reading this now, stop and take a moment and send a prayer out into the universe for peace for the entire world. Visualize a white light all around the United States and its borders. See pink and green around our President. Surround your home and family with white, pink and green, the colors of peace, protection, healing and love! | |  | Appearances

This a letter from a young man who attended my workshop in Los Angeles on Valentines Day. I will be doing the same workshop in Chicago, Warren, New Orleans, Minneapolis and San Fran this Spring. If you'd like more info please see my schedule.
Hi Maria,
My name is Josh Huynh. I met you two weeks ago in LA Expo. I am the last person that you talk to and got autograph of your two books. I am writing to thank you for healing my heart charka in the workshop that day. I remembered last several years, whenever I placed my attention on my heart. I always felt un-easy, uncomfortable, and heart-ache. I didn't know what happen or how to heal it so I just ignored it. The night of the workshop you were talking about love and soul mate. That stirred up a lot of emotion and I felt like a huge rock is sitting on my heart. I felt so heavy and I can hardly breathe. In the meditation I saw a cute and very lovely young lady. She was by my side and we were holding hands as we walk out that house. I felt a sense of love and belonging. I remembered, after that meditation process the heaviness in my heart was lessened. At the end of the workshop, you gave me a rose quartz. I remembered it shocked in my hand as I hold it. Anyway, I put it in my pocket through out the next day. On the following day, I felt great. It was as if something was just healed. I was thinking it got to be that rose quartz. So I reach my hand in the pocket and it not there. I try to look for it, but I couldn?t find it anywhere. I said to myself, this is not possible, because the pocket it kind of deep. I was so disappointed. It was value to me and it was a gift from you. There is no way this is happening. As I sat facing my bookshelves, I saw your books. So I scan through the book and saw the chapter on Crystals. I read your story and realized that the little rock had served it purpose and it gone. I chuckle to myself and felt good.
Thank You.
P.S. You know what's funny, while writing this email, I saw your email in my mail box. So I click on it. As I read through your email I realized that I had won a copy of your book. I was so excited and exhilarated. I will call your office to select the book.
Thank you for everything,
Looking forward to meeting you again.
Love,
~Josh Huynh | | Remember: think Peace and Love!
