Happy Birthday Cancer

The year ahead will offer many pleasant surprises; most noticeably in the areas of love and romance. If your work is mostly creative, you can expect good things as well. For those of you Crabs, wanting to expand your family, this autumn is a superb time ,to conceive. Luck will be on your side if by chance you choose to hit a casino but understand; these next two years are not favorable for money so any winnings will be small. But hey, that's better than nothing! Right??

Starting now and until September 2007, you should learn to watch your money more closely. Your cash flow is tight but you're learning to "do more with less". Late July and August are wonderful times to travel and February is super for a long distance trip. Early fall, is the perfect time to purchase a new home or remodeling a current one. November is the most romantic month of the entire year. Your career is a top priority by year's end when an offer that's too good to turn down presents itself. Some Cancers may decide to tie the knot in early 2007. Valentines Day would be a perfect time to walk down the aisle. Before your next birthday in 2007, your career takes center stage and everything you have been working for, will pay off!

Nice Letters We Get

Dear Maria,
Your prediction floored me. In February, you referred to my father in law who had passed on... "Jerry", you said "he keeps saying summer time will be a happy time." You wanted to know who the brick layer, mason, construction worker was. You said he was pretty cute... brown hair and just a little younger than me. Well, at the time, I hadn't a clue. I shortly there after dated a younger guy whom I thought maybe was the one you were referring to. He was into home construction but had blonde hair. Nope, it wasn't him. But I freaked out the other day. I went on to the myspace at request of a friend. Picked up a conversation with this rather handsome guy 2 years younger than me- brown hair. He admitted a few days later that he REALLY liked me. I could see maybe going out with Tony WHO by the way was a Tiler. But get this.... my epiphany of who this guy you were talking about last winter, occurred IN MY BIG BACK YARD-while picking strawberries in my strawberry patch (while wearing a summery shirt). In February, you said you saw me in the back yard in a summery shirt with strawberries and told me about that around this time I would meet this guy. I thought you were referring to the shirt-but I have a HUGE Strawberry patch!!! Suddenly I was like HOLY COW!! It is TONY she is talking about!

It hit me out of the blue!

Maria thank you again SO much for your wonderful and comforting readings! You are a God's Blessing to all whose lives you touch!

Hugs to you! K. from Michigan

Hey Maria,
Just a note to let you know how much I am loving your book Astro Diet. One morning, feeling fat and reading your newsletter, I noticed your diet book and immediately ordered it. The book is so positive, as you yourself are, and helps put the issue of weight into a holistic realm. I especially enjoy the daily diet calendar. It is always here on my desk and I read it every morning. It's positive message inspires me throughout the entire day and speaks to me about more than dieting. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
Love, Coco (Scorpio)

Editor's note: If you would to order a copy of the Astro Diet, please visit Maria's online store...

New Offer

Chakra Bags & Enchanted Soul Book that includes an entire chapter on the 7 Chakras and how to balance them as well as affirmations...only have 12 available. $20 for the set. The gemstones will be the correlating colors/gems that you will need to balance your chakras. They come in a black velvet pouch. You can carry the stones with you in your purse to balance the chakras at any time or use them when you do the exercise in the book. You can also use them during meditations. I am personally hand picking these stones for the chakra kits myself. As many of you know, I do not just randomly order my stones from wholesalers and over the Internet. I will not purchase stones to sell unless I touch, feel and hand pick them myself. That's why some of the stones take a while to get in stock. I will be making another trip down south this week to get more amber, kyanite, sodalite and other gems we have run out of. If there is something you would like me to get for you, please email or contact me and I will do my best to locate it.

Enchanted Soul Book and Chakras - $20 for the set but must call 810-631-6887. These are not available on the website as of yet.

To learn more about chakras, read Maria's Chakras 101 article.

Happy Birthday to all of my Cancerian friends and clients....Have a wonderful year ahead. Bless you all!
Maria
