Hello StarScopers,

Hopefully everyone has settled into the energy of the new year. We are dab smack in the middle of Mercury retrograde now until February 2nd. The eclipse is coming! January 26th...look for some amazing changes to begin to happen. Here's where we'll be this weekend. Read on before we get into astro news....

Nice letters we get....

Maria

I love your newsletter! I get so excited when I see a new one has come.

You have read for me many times and I have to say you have been right on…so thank you so much!

Sincerely

Angela Morton

Maria,

I am Ike, and I met you at A.R.E in Virginia Beach last week. As I was the only Asian male, you may still remember me. :)

I just wanted to say thank you for your sharing the prediction for 2009, and also especially personally commenting on my future. I was very surprised when you mentioned that I will be teaching metaphysics in several years. As my knowledge on that subject is very limited, it was hard to believe. However, I am developing strong interest in that field, and I feel that I can help people understand their purpose of life by teaching what I learned.

Again, thank you for your kindness, and I wish lots of blessing to you in 2009.

Regards,

Ike

Another letter from Ike....a chance meeting had changed his life and put him on his spiritual path!

Maria,

Thank you for your kind words. It was great that I could meet you and your team last week and join the lectures together at the ARE and learn more about the spiritual world. Also, your kind prediction made me seriously think about the path to be a spiritual teacher.

Yesterday, I went to Sacramento to join the lecture by Kevin Todeschi on Akashic record. During the intuition exercise, I got the answer to my question on 'what should I do to develop my teaching capabilities for spiritual world?'. The answer came through another participants who did not know my question written on the folded paper yet. Her answer was - peaceful ocean, a romantic spiritual male, and leaving luggage of life. After looking at those words for a while, I interpreted that I have to leave some of the luggage of my life behind and start studying at Atlantic University to be a spiritual person. The only ocean I saw recently was 'Atlantic' Ocean at Virginia Beach last week!!!

It is amazing that I've been getting similar messages recently from many different sources - past life reading of myself, Kevin's interpretation of my dream, your prediction, and also the intuition exercise. Now I feel obliged that I should do this as it is my path that God has prepared for me, and I am sure that He will lead me all the way.

Again, thank you for your kindness, and I will pray that you will be able to help more people to find the answers to their life questions and become a better soul.

Regards,

Ike

Hi Maria,

Just wanted to let you know that I wrote a Law of Abundance check you gave the dates on December 31st and by January 5th, I found out that I would be getting an increase of pay at work, the interest rate on my mortgage spontaneously went DOWN(!), and I am getting called to cover shifts at work any time I am not scheduled to be there!

Thank you for sharing!

I'll see you Jan. 24th in Flint!

Hi Maria,

I'm so excited! I tried one of the dates for the law of abundance check writing and it worked beautifully! I wrote the check January 2nd and exactly 7 days later received a much needed financial blessing of over $1100 dollars. This blessing came at the perfect time because I was in real need due to unexpected expenses. What is most amazing and touching to me is that the source of this blessing was from my grandmother who passed away in September. Looks like grandma and the universe are still looking out for me and I'm so thankful for that!

Thanks Maria for sharing the law of abundance dates. Take care.

Hi Maria,

I am not sure of you remember me or not, but in October 2007, I had a reading with you as I was contemplating going through my divorce and so other very difficult situations in my life. It was the best thing I ever did, and it allowed me to do things I would have normally second guessed myself about. I listened to my tape over and over again and read over my notes each time I was unsure what road to take, and it was just what I needed to be able to move forward. I am at the end of my divorce and though last year was possibly the hardest and worst year of my life, I am trying to remain positive about my future. Many many things continue to come at me, and I am thinking about another reading with you so I can start of my year with some deeper insight.

Now for the Law of Abundance Dates for January.

Law of Abundance Checks

Many of you who listen to our radio show and read this newsletter have asked for the Law of Abundance dates to write your check. I had started giving out the dates in December but for those of you who do not know what this is about, I want to share more info. For the past several years, I have been giving people specific dates to write checks out to themselves, sign it from the Law of Abundance and carry the checks in their purse. I have has reports from listeners who have won $40,000, won gas cards from radio, lottery and bingo as well one listener who had a call from a lawyer who said he had a $90,000 check at his office for her! The theory behind this is that you are putting positive energy out into the universe when you write these checks on specific astrological magical days. The cosmic energy combined with your own energy helps the law of abundance work. Here's what you do again in more detail:

Take a check from an active checking account

Make it out to you

Do not date the check

Sign it the law of abundance

Do not put in a dollar amount because this limits how much the universe can bring you

Do not void the check in your bank book, just write it is for the law of abundance

Do not destroy the check unless you have closed the account Make out a new check when new dates come up.

Carry the check with you and watch what happens!

In a matter or hours, days and weeks you should see money or blessings come in! Remember prosperity it doesn't always mean cash in hand.

Here are the dates for January to write your checks...27, 28, 29, 30, 31

Astro News

Have you noticed that many of your friends and family members and more than likely you, yourself are going through some HUGE change right now....breaking free from the past? Maybe something has already happened to you......maybe many of you are contemplating change that can be intimidating or downright scary but necessary.

It's important to gain some clarity on how to handle this astrological cycle that peaks here within the next several weeks.

Are you experiencing stress that is more intense than ever? Do you feel as if you are dealing with more than one major issue in your life and all need immediate attention?

The key to getting through this Saturn oppose Uranus cycle I have written about for the past several months is to give up your old ways of doing things. But you must also give up your old belief system and old fears. Many of these fears and beliefs are based on some emotional decision we made when we were very young, perhaps from two to five years of age. We don't even remember making that "survival" choice/decision, but our subconscious does! Let's say your parents divorced when you were three years old for example. You may have blamed yourself for the divorce or you may have feared that you would be left alone. Those abandonment issues caused you for many years to avoid deep relationships or perhaps try to please an ungrateful mate. Maybe you drew partners to you that you could never "win" with and would leave you.

This cycle of Saturn opposite Uranus wants us to break through these old patterns so our life can get better. The pressure is pretty heavy for many of my clients and close personal friends to make changes. If they don;t, illness or dis -ease can occur. What they are resisting will become much more difficult if they try to hang on.. We create our reality from what we FEEL and THINK every day. If you want a different job, mate, life, etc that you must create a different thought or idea than you have been thinking for years. You must break free from whatever happened years ago that has gotten you to this point in life, feeling like you have no choice. But you do!

When you're in the middle of your crisis, leave the situation for a day, a week or longer so you can see other alternatives and make different choices. Leaving or taking a "breather" from a relationship or a sabbatical from a job allows the Universe time to respond and bring you help or alternatives for a better situation.

When you are stressed, you are putting more stress into the world and the Universe sees that we want even MORE stress. So it responds (this is the law of attraction) by sending us even more situations that make you feel lousy. If you want to feel better, practice gratitude as our reader Hazel Thompson tells us to do. This can help break the cycle, so you can start bringing some good things toward you. So when you feel bad, write down a few things on a piece of paper that you are grateful for and read them aloud.

Also, give up your resistance to the change. If there is stress, then some type of change needs to happen and it will happen eventually so just give in to it.

The key to thriving in this major period of change is to roll with the flow. This is also a very important time to spend time in nature, mediate, take walks, do yoga etc. This aspects hits dead on February 5th and again two more times. The universe really wants you to make a change....and it will be for the best even though you must let of the past to do so. Don;t be afraid of the future. Everything right now is happening for a reason in your life. The end result will be for the best!

Have a blessed week,

Maria
