Upcoming
Events
Don't
forget - if you're in the beautiful Traverse City area over
Labor Day weekend, I will be at the Higher Self Bookstore on
Front Street downtown. Ricki and her wonderful staff have graciously
invited me back. It seems I'm in TC for all of my vacations
lately and I love it! Consultations are being scheduled by
Higher Self.
AlternaGryl
2004 Calendar just hit the bookstores. I wrote this
one for Llewellyn and its in place of my annual Moon Calendar.
Find it all across the country in bookstores or order online.
The artwork is really cute!
We're planning on doing National psychic fairs all across the
country in 2004. If you think your hometown or city would be
a great place for us to come and hold a fair, please e-mail
me back and let me know.
For my New Orleans friends and clients : The New Orleans Magazine
has done an interview and feature on me in its September issue.
Please look for it. I will be back in New Orleans the end of
September and also October 11-13. Thanks to Clay Thomas for
putting together An Enchanted Evening a few weeks ago in New
Orleans. Kudos also to Bonnie Broel who hosted and event and
our fairy Peggy Gelphi. |

The
Martians Are Coming
This
is from an astrological group I belong to you and was part
of the e-newsletter I received from ISAR recently. So many
of you have asked me for more information on this I thought
to save this and pass it on:
from Paul D. Nunn, Alexandria, VA, sent in by Marguerite dar
Boggia: The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month
and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that
will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets
in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close
is in 2287.
Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs
its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not
come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years, but it may
be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes
to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the
moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain
a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide.
At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large
as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot.
At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 p.m.
and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars
will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky
at 12:30 a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that
no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your
calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively
brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with
your children and grandchildren. No one alive today will ever
see this again... and ps: since Mars rules anger and impatience,
watch those tempers during August.... |

Problems
with getting my newsletters?
If time goes by and you are not receiving the e-newsletter, that means
that your mailbox was full or your server intercepted it. Every time
I mail out a newsletter, I get a list of undeliverable mail. Start
by checking your email account setting (make sure you're not blocking
mail from "gm44.com" - my mail service). If it persists, perhaps a
friend can register for StarScopes and then forward my newsletter to
you! Or, you can always visit the Newsletter Archive on the website
at http://www.mariashaw.com/starscopes/
