Happy Summer!
What a wonderful summer it has been so far. I am so lucky to have met many new people this past month around the country at my seminars. Special thanks to the producers at WGN Morning News and Fox Morning News in Chicago who helped to make my appearances on their shows so much FUN!
Transitions Book Place in Chicago and all of the nice folks there - thanks again! I will see you all soon. I enjoyed the picturesque setting of Booth Bay Harbor and meeting a few of my clients there and making new friends! The LightHouse in Bay City was a wonderful setting for a book signing last month too.
So much is happening. I have great news; my new book StarGazer out this Fall will be published in Spanish also and released to the Spanish market in Fall of 2004. I'll start a long and lively (I'm sure) book tour around September to promote Stargazer and then work resumes on my Tarot deck slated to released in 2004. Then it's back to Los Angeles this month to talk to some TV producers and do a magazine layout.
Looking forward to the Astrologers convention in Phoenix. Please come up and introduce yourself if you attend. I will be speaking three different times. I'll be taking the last part of July off to finish writing my book on soul mates but will take time out on Saturday, July 26 for the customer appreciation day in Pt Huron, MI. See below:

Dieting Among the Stars
Here's an article I wrote that was published in several magazines. I thought I'd add it to my newsletter this month.
Has there ever been an easy way to lose weight? Some people can eat anything and not gain an ounce. Others can just look at a carrot stick and their jeans refuse to zip.
Billions of people have tried fad diets for years. But its apparent something's not working. We're a society of overweight people and still packing on the pounds. Did anyone ever consider using astrology as a guide? Millions of people read and believe in their horoscopes. Most everyone knows something about their zodiac sign. Could the day you were born have an effect on your weight. "Yes it can and it does", according to author/astrologer Maria Shaw, celebrity astrologer. There are certain signs that are likely to be fat and other signs that are prone to being thin but of course you must take the entire natal chart into account because you still have fat Libras and jumbo-sized Geminis buying Slim-fast."
Cancer and Virgos are the food addiction signs according to Shaw, although Virgos tend to watch their diets and try to eat healthy. But if they get hooked on food emotionally, they can really get out of control and dependent on Twinkies. Cancers eat for comfort, out of boredom and to relieve emotional stress. They also like to cook and feed everyone so they're always nibbling. Those born in late June and July are known to love ice cream too.
Taurus is another big eater and adore real food like meat and potatoes, Shaw adds. Many Taurus are known to have "guts' or beer bellies even if they don't drink alcohol. Then you have your Leos who eat socially. Sagittarius who tend to overeat too, put weight on specifically in the hip and thigh areas.
Gemini's pick throughout the day and eat smaller meals. Therefore they are generally slimmer as are Libra and Aquarius who are always on the "go" anyway. Capricorns are usually thin too. Pisces retain water and have a habit of overeating emotionally and then feel guilty. So they eat more to overcome the guilt! Scorpios can also be obsessive and hide their food addictions. Aries eat on the run and can burn calories quicker than the other signs.
How to lose weight?
What works for a Leo won't work for a Cancer, Shaw foretells. So let's examine Shaw's quick tips for dieting according to your sun sign.
Capricorn - Get organized. Keep a diary and stick to a regular schedule to work out.
Aquarius - Change your exercise routine so you don't get bored. Join a support group or work out with friends.
Pisces - Know that you will cheat but don't feel guilty. Your moods swing and back and forth so keep them in check. You must also replace one addiction with another. Do something physical every time you want to eat. Pamper yourself in other ways.
Aries - See a therapist because most of your eating problems are related to depression or problems that needs to be dealt with in counseling.
Taurus - Stay away from the buffet lines and all you can eat supper clubs. Eat small portions, pass on desserts.
Gemini - Cut everything you eat in half and save part of the meal for later. Be careful of your "evil twin" tempting you. Eat five snacks rather than 3 meals a day.
Cancer - Stop cooking for everyone. Don't buy desserts and keep a "fat" picture of yourself on the fridge next to Pamela Anderson, who by the way is also a Cancer. Watch out for the full moons... you'll overeat every time.
Leo - Instead of going out to dinner socially or having dinner parties, meet for finger foods and light fare. Stay away from Chocolate.
Virgo - Keep a diary and journal . Write down everything your put in your mouth.
Libra - Exercise with a partner. If you try to go to alone you'll drop out of a program.
Scorpio - You are the strongest sign in the entire zodiac. if you really to lose weight you will. Set a goal and stick to it. Avoid late night snacking. Have sex instead. Make a bet with someone that you'll lose weight. You hate to lose!
Sagittarius - Don't overeat. Stop when you feel full. Play sports for exercise or go horseback riding. Think positive! |
