Nice Letters We Get
Maria
It worked for me! The Law of Abundance worked for me!
I had written a few checks before, but hadn't completed it the way you mentioned on the WHNN radio show. So, I tried writing it that way and ended up winning $2,000.00 on a 2-cent slot machine while on a cruise. During this same cruise, I was given a beautiful hand blown bowl (worth about $1,000.00) from the artist.
I thanked the universe and then gave back some and wrote a check to my deceased parents favorite charity-St. Jude's. Paula
Dear Paula; Thanks for writing. I also had another thing happen this week to me. I have been looking for a new Christmas tree and many of them are so expensive! I was given a $700 tree that was only used once! It is huge, has a remote control and pre lit. So I am writing another LOA check this week too. I have also found that if you follow my moon calendar lucky money dates, those work well too for the LOA dates.
Continued success and glad to hear you are giving to money my favorite charities too!
Maria
Hello Maria Shaw, I am so glad to see your happy and doing your thing. You have a beautiful spirit and I am so glad you gave me a sample reading over the radio, I can't wait to be able to get a full hour reading you are the best. Thank you for being so nice when I call. Lynn
Dear Maria;
Thanks for letting me know about the past life reading with Joe Lawson. He was dead on about revealing a past life I had with this man I always had a connection with but didn't know what it was. After talking with Joe, I realize why we were so drawn to one another and what the issue is between us. It makes so much sense and puts my mind at rest. His reading explained everything and I feel a sense of peace now. Janice
Editor's note: Joe is offering a special past life reading on the phone for 15 minutes for a reduced rate of $30. This reading is like Janice's where Joe covers in depth a past life connection between you and someone close or perhaps just a past lifetime you have questions about. Our fears and phobias in this lifetime can also be explained through past life counseling. But it also helps us understand our connections with the special people and lovers in our lives as well. He will also be offering a full half hour in Bay City, Lapeer, Minneapolis, Ft Lauderdale and Virginia Beach as well as relationship readings.
Dear Maria;
I recently ordered the black candles and tourmaline chunks from your holiday sale because I have been having great and severe difficulty with co workers. They have been very cruel and are purposely trying to get me fired. They play nicey nice when the bosses are around but as soon as they leave the area, these co-workers start to verbally attack me and mock me. I am so stressed and was losing sleep and hair over this. It is a toxic environment but I need my job. I did as you suggested and placed the tourmaline on my desk. The night before I did this, I carved the initials of the bad co-workers on the candles I ordered and said the St Jude prayer you suggested as well as made up my own. I really prayed hard they would leave me alone. It didn't happen over night but about within four days, these people started leaving me alone. They didn't come near my work area and I seemed invisible. One of them even asked if I needed something for lunch when they went out. But for the most part, I have been left alone. It has been a week now and all is calm. I hope this continues. I pray it does. I don't know if it was the candles I got from you or the energy of the tourmalines or the prayer work with the candles. I guess it doesn't matter but so far so good! It has given me some relief. Thank you for putting these things out there for me and other people who need help. I will keep you updated. My friend is going to order some from you to do the same thing in a bad relationship. I am also suggesting another friend do this who has problems in her home life.
Sincerely,
Joan
Maria;
I have bought your moon calendar and work with the money dates you have listed in the calendar as well as the law of abundance check dates you give us each month. I find that working with the calendar also gives me extra dates to choose and they seem to bring in results quicker. Just wanted to share with your readers what I have found. I would suggest that if anyone who is serious about writing the LOA checks use Maria's calendar dates too.
Sincerely,
Marie, Port Huron MI
Dear Marie;
Thanks for the suggestion. Others have recommended it too. I personally use the money dates to hold events and also if I have putting on a garage sale in the summer time or releasing a new book, etc. They work!
Happy Holidays, Maria

Law of Abundance Check Dates for December
Dec 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
Write your check out on one of these dates. If and when a blessing occurs, rip up the check and choose another date to write a new one. Good luck!
Here is another idea one of our StarScopers came up with when writing the LOA checks. I welcome all of your ideas!
Dearest Maria;
Thanks so much for sharing the LOA check dates every month. They work each time I write one. Once I won $1540 at Bingo. Last week I was the 5th caller at my favorite radio station and won a restaurant gift certificate for $15. Every bit helps!
When I was at the fair in Minnesota, you made up a special Law of Abundance prosperity pouch for me with some unique crystals/gemstones. I want to order one for my daughter and son. I have been carrying that pouch every day in my purse and when I write a new LOA check, I place the check in the pouch with the crystals. There were five stones and you made it especially for this. Can I get a few more? Please tell me how to get more or should I wait until you come to the psychic fair in Roseville to get them?
Merry Christmas,
Jarene
Dear Jarene;
I will make some up for your daughter and son and bring them to the Minneapolis fair. However, since receiving your email, I think it would be a great idea to offer those LOA pouches to our other StarScopers. We have limited amounts of those gemstones but will be glad to make as many as we can up before the holidays for anyone who wants to order. That is a great idea you had about placing the check you write in the pouch with the stones.
I will have Rich, our website maestro put them up on the holiday sale and website store page. Thanks for the suggestion and continued success! Remember to give back something to your fav charity! Blessings, Maria

Gift Giving Ideas for The Holidays
By Maria Shaw
Is there a friend or family member on your gift list that's hard to buy for? Perhaps you know someone who has everything. Running from store to store trying to find the perfect gift can really put a damper on this festive season. The old stand-bys like cash and gift certificates are OK but impersonal. Have you ever considered using astrology to find the perfect gift? Each member of the zodiac has specific personality traits, likes, and dislikes. If you know what these are, you can find the perfect gift for anyone … including the person who has everything!
Here are a few ideas:
Aries - Rams will appreciate anything that is personalized. Think about a necklace with their initials on it or an ID bracelet. Being competitive people, many Aries enjoy sports - so tickets to see their favorite BB team play is another thought. Some Aries are adventurous types. Buy things that appeal to their daredevil side; flying lessons or a hot air balloon ride. Also consider video games, action movies, golf clubs, board games, and timesaving gadgets. Anything that helps an Aries save time will be appreciated as they always on the run.
Taurus - Bulls prefer quality over quantity. If you can't afford anything really expensive, opt for a pair of gold hoop earrings over a diamond Cartier design. Taurus love to be pampered too; a day of beauty at a spa is a nice gesture as is an overflowing basket of bubble and bath products. Taurus of both sexes love to eat. You can't go wrong with gourmet cheesecakes, fruit of the month club memberships, a favorite local wine, and scrumptious food baskets. or Godiva chocolates. Consider giving them a CD of their favorite music. Anything that tempts and tantalizes the Bull's senses will go over well.
Gemini - Because the Twins are ruled by the planet mercury - which also rules communication and travel - consider giving gifts with this theme. Think cell phones and answering machines, radios, TVs, computers, and CDs. Even a long distance calling card or gas card will be appreciated. Many Gemini love to read. Give books and magazine subscriptions. Also appointment books, memo pads, journals, and dairies go over well. Because Geminis love to travel, luggage is a good bet as are airline gift certificates and weekend getaways for two.
Cancer - Homebodies at heart but great business people too, Cancers usually love any gift you give 'em. But if you really want to please a Crab, give them things to beautify their home; flowers, plants, crystal pieces, comfy throws, antiques, and photo frames. Many Cancers love to cook ... and eat! Therefore, gourmet gift baskets and cooking utensils are good bets. Anything that hints of nostalgia is also something to consider. Sentimental Cancers live in the past and gifts that help them reminisce about the good old days like antiques, collectibles, family photos, hard-to-find candy (popular in their childhood), and comfort treats are a good bet.
Leo - Lions are easy to buy for because they love almost anything they get ... but whatever you give, make sure the present at least looks expensive. Even if it's cheap, it should look like you've shelled out some major bucks. A Leo loves luxury. Think gold jewelry, designer shirts, cashmere, Prada, leather goods. In other words, the finest things money can buy. Give a Louis Vuitton keychain if you can't afford a Gucci bag. Never wrap anything that looks outdated or drab. Consider a day trip to a casino, a bottle of champagne with crystal flutes, silk ties, and scarves. Tickets to the movies, a concert, or a Broadway show are other good options.
Virgo - This sign appreciates practical stuff ... gifts they can use. A Virgo is the first to say "Don't waste your money." If the item you give is something that will collect dust, it may end up in the recycled gift closet or the return line the next day. Because Virgo is ruled by the planet mercury, appointment books, calendars, and journals are good bets. Consider appliances such as food processors, microwaves, ice cream makers, and even Tupperware and cookware sets. Many Virgos are health nuts so an array of natural herbs and aromatherapy products are good choices. Exercise equipment and health club memberships will be appreciated, too.
Libra - Oh, how they love pretty things; artwork, jewelry, flowers and such. Music is also a great choice. Social Libras adore trying the latest restaurants so a gift certificate at the new bistro in town is an option. Consider tickets to see their favorite band in concert. A weekend at a lovely bed and breakfast or a shopping trip is a good idea, too. Spa treatments are always welcome, as is fashionable clothing. Furs, designer purses, and elegant accessories are a good bet. Keep in mind when making a purchase that most Libras do not like gaudy baubles, but instead prefer classy pieces.
Scorpio - Many Scorpio are intrigued by the supernatural and new age. They love a good mystery so mystery novels, suspense movies ,and the like are good gift ideas. Secretive Scorpios love to hide their little treasures, so consider boxes that they can hide their "stuff" in. Think jelly jars, secret diaries, or pretty hat boxes. Some may appreciate a set of their very own Tarot cards, crystals, or dream journals, perhaps an astrology reading or meditation tape would be to their liking. Many Scorpios are great collectors, so find out what they have and add to it. If you're involved in an intimate relationship with a sexy Scorpio, opt for silk pajamas, lacy lingerie, and bedroom toys!
Sagittarius - These folks are adventurous, outdoorsy types. Many love sports, either as players or spectators. Sporting or camping equipment may be an option. Archers love their cars. Buy items for their new jeep or old jalopy. Luggage, travel accessories, and duffel bags are good for the on-the-go Archers, as they love to travel. Sagittarius is usually late, so a watch makes the perfect gift. Some are interested in different cultures and foreign pieces. Think Native American pottery, African masks, Mexican pottery, and unusual knick-knacks picked up on your exotic travels.
Capricorn - Professional, logical, and organized describe people born under the sign of Capricorn - as well as the kind of gifts they'd love to receive. Because they like order in their chaotic lives give gifts that will help bring them just that; file cabinets, briefcases, jewelry boxes, and tie racks are some choices. Goats appreciate things of value; antiques, oak furniture, rare coins, depression or carnival glassware, and art objects. Cappys are usually workaholics, so you should buy them things they can use to simplify their world or for the office. Pen sets, personalized stationary, clocks, and computer accessories would be appreciated, too.
Aquarius - Water bearers have a wide variety of tastes so it shouldn't be difficult to find a decent gift here. Just look for the latest gizmos, gadgets and fads. You can't go wrong with the latest in technology or household appliances either. Many Aquarius are into astrology so purses, jewelry, and books with zodiac themes are cool ideas. Look for the most unusual stuff you can find. Aquarius love quirky, wacky presents. If you must stick to traditional presents, clothing like a sports-themed sweatshirt or a good pair of low-rise jeans will please even the most discriminating Aquarius.
Pisces - Fish are into beauty stuff; makeup, jewelry, perfumes, cologne, and beautiful clothes. You can't go wrong with music either. A fave CD or meditation music make a super gift. Anything you decide to give a Pisces is more meaningful when it comes from the heart. Homemade goodies, handicrafts, family photo collages, or an arrangement of beautiful flowers are other good ideas. If you wanna win extra points take your Pisces on a romantic weekend getaway. Rent a cozy cabin deep in the woods with a roaring fire. Or a balcony room in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans. Or create your own love nest in your apartment or bedroom.
If you're still stumped and have no idea want to buy that certain someone, then forget about material things. Give something even better ... your time. A few hours talking, visiting, or spending the day creating lasting memories is priceless!

Jupiter in Pisces
By Maria Shaw
2010 in many ways will be an easier year for our Virgo and Pisces friends but for all of you that have a heavy concentration of water signs in your chart (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer), the year ahead offers opportunity and growth. Jupiter, the planet of good luck will move into the sign of Pisces early in the year so wherever Pisces falls in your chart, is where you will find expansion, growth and happiness. If you want a short 1 question reading through email on where you can personally expect opportunity, click on the one question icon at my website and ask How is Jupiter in Pisces affecting me? I will need your birthday, time and city born to be completely accurate. But knowing ahead of time if you will have luck in money or career or any of the other 10 areas covered in a chart, will give you the edge to expand that area of your life.
http://mariashaw.com/store/one_question
The cosmos will be on your side in 2010 in a very specific way. Many of you have ordered gemstones and crystals off my website over the holidays sale. I've also includes the best ones for each sign to accenuate the power of Jupiter for the individual signs. Almost everyone reading this, has crystals you have gotten from me or already in your jewelry box at home. Get them out of that jewelry box and start wearing them! You should be wearing or carrying the specific gemstone to draw even more positive "Jupiter in Pisces" energy in. In general, the next part of this article is based solely on sun sign astrology but it can give you a little idea of how Jupiter will help you.
Aries – You can release a lot of old wounds and hurt from childhood now. This is the best time in years to become healthier on a soul level. Great time to reveal past lifetimes and heal them too. People from your past and possible soul mates may come into your life now. It's like you have an extra guardian angel on your shoulder too!
Best crystal to help accentuate the positive energy of Jupiter in 2010- Amethyst; as it helps with spiritual growth and expansion. Heals on a spiritual level and also helps one to see the truth. Excellent grounding stone. Helps you become more logical and relaxed.
Moonstone – Eases emotions and trauma that causes one to be upset.
Taurus – 2010 will bring you opportunity in the social arena. Your contacts will be very important and your friends will be blessings. It is likely you will make a new best friend in the next 12months. It's whom you know that will help you get ahead now. You could also make more money in 2010 through a recent career decision.
Your gemstone for 2010- Citrine – powerful money stone for business and career
Gemini – You have the best luck of all the signs for career growth and opportunity. This is your year to make your mark and make things happen. Ask for a promotion, start a business, apply for new work, get a new degree, etc.
Your gemstone for 2010 – Aventurine, Citrine or Tigereye – great for luck and money, especially the citrine and tiger-eye for growth on the job. Aventurine good to carry with you on new job interviews
Cancer – Spiritual growth, long distance travel and higher education will be the areas to place your bets for luck and expansion in 2010. You will have more psychic experiences and your abilities are growing too. This is also the best period in a long time to go back to school. You'll cruise through and have great teachers. If you have always wanted to take a dream trip abroad, now's your chance. At the very least, a wonderful trip, domestically, will be presented.
Your gemstone for 2010 is yellow calcite, which is great for retaining knowledge, taking tests and education. You also could wear amethyst or smoky quartz, both which aid in the development of psychic powers.
Leo – Your luck pertains to deals and sales this New Year. Your partner could also make more money. You should be able to save money on bills or pay some debt down. After two years of money troubles, this will be a welcome relief. You could get money from other sources as well.
Your 2010 gemstone are the lucky money stones; citrine and aventurine
Aventurine should be worn on the left wrist if wearing a bracelet to help draw money to you, as your left hand is your "receiving hand" if right handed. You would not want to wear it on the right hand as you would be giving money away because that is your giving hand.
Virgo – You are blessed with more love than ever in 2010. This is your luckiest year in 12 years to get marry, meet a soul mate, start a wonderful romantic dating period and the like. You can draw love to you easily. If married, you will have good aspects together. However if you are ready to leave a committed union, you can do so easily and meet someone else before the year is up that is your dream mate. Also people will be kinder to you.
Best gemstone for 2010 – Rose Quartz, strawberry quartz; tiger eye- all good love stones to draw, attract and cement positive relationships.
Libra – Jupiter will bless you with great healing powers. Even though testy Saturn is on your sun sign, you should be able to overcome obstacles health wise and also have good luck with work. If you are in a service industry, you should do well on the job front. You will also like the people you work with more than usual. Libras could get a new pet too. Good time to tackle tedious tasks and firm up your life. Libras will also be in a weight loss cycle this year. So if you want to drop a few pounds, it will be fairly easy. If not, eat all of the goodies you like! You probably won't gain any weight.
Lucky Gemstone – Hematite to help with health and reduce stress. Amazonite which is good for animal communication. Sodalite which is good for weight control and loss.
Scorpio – Great year for new romance and love affairs. This is also a time to win at the casino. Investments can pay off and your relationship with children grows. You will also feel more creative. 2010 should be a fun year,
Best gemstones; Rose quartz for love! Fuschite for creativity; especially good for writers. Aventurine for gambling.
Sagittarius – Home is where the heart is for you wandering signs this New Year. It is the perfect time to move, lay down new roots, buy, sell or remodel property. It's a great year for more peace and harmony in the home and family too. Expansion in the family is likely with people getting married, having children and the like.
Your Gemstone for 2010 – Quartz Crystal great to expand the positive energy flow. Moonstone, which balances energy and is the stone that rules home and family. Tiger-eye – good to promote positive relationships amongst family, friends and the like.
Capricorn – This will be a wonderful year for communications of all kinds. If you work in sales, communications, customer services, negotiations, etc…..all should be positive. 2010 will be a good year to get a new car and take short trips. Your relationship with siblings and neighbor are also beneficial.
Your gemstones for 2010 – yellow calcite, sodalite, all wonderful stones for communication and writing.
Aquarius – Money is the name of your game this new year. You could be extra lucky and finally see an increase in your personal income. After two years of crazy out of control debt, now comes a welcome relief. Be creative with your moneymaking ideas. You should be able to increase the cash flow before July.
Gemstone for 2010 – Citrine and aventurine the money stones. Tiger-eye for drawing creative ways to bring money in
Pisces – This is your year! With Jupiter on your sun sign, your life could be like a visit from Santa Claus every day. Watch for weight gain through as Jupiter expands your waistline as well as your horizons! LOL. But this is the year to expand your destiny and make dreams come true.
Labordorite or Moldavite- the stones that create change and put you on your destined path Labordorite work slowly but moldavite works sometimes immediately. Sodalite to ward off excess weight gain.
For all – Jupiter in Pisces will bring us all an opportunity to heal deeply on some level. Ruled by Neptune, Pisces is a sign that can be quite psychic, creative and romantic. Harness this energy by creating your own meditations to draw these things to you. If you want to create your own crystal pouch to carry with you, I suggest these stones; rose quartz (love), unakite (draws old wounds to surface and heals them), quartz crystal which is great to enhance energy, moonstone which stabilizes emotions and howlite which I have listed more info on below.

 Howlite Gemstones
Howlite for those of you who are not familiar with it is a calming stone, used to relieve stress. It makes an excellent antidote to insomnia if you have a mind that won't shut down at night. Hold it or place under your pillow. If you are like me, sometimes you cannot relax the mind enough to drift off to sleep. So stone helps. I have also read this stone is good for breathing problems or asthma as well as chest congestion/colds. Also, carrying and meditating with howlite can help one in journeying outside the body and gaining insight from past lives. Placed on the third eye, it opens memories of previous lifetimes.
But the most popular reason Howlite is worn or carried by gemstone lovers is that is an excellent stone to dispel anger.
Put howlite stones in your pocket to absorb your own anger - or another's anger that is directed toward you.
We are offering a five piece bag of howlite polished tumbled stones for $10. Click here to order. Limited quantity so order soon.

Special Thanks to our great website guy Rich who puts these newsletters out for us on a timely and regular basis. Many of you tell me how much you enjoy the newsletters. They take a lot of work to organize, write and prepare to send out. It's Rich who makes the StarScopes possible so a HUGE thank you to him for all of his efforts.
Take time out of your busy schedules to share a phone conversation with an old friend or family member whom you haven't spoken to in a while. Take a walk to a nearby downtown and window shop. Indulge in a great holiday CD or catch a movie. Grab a book and a blanket and sit near your favorite window with a cup of hot cocoa. Make time for you to just "be still" and appreciate the sounds, sights and senses of the season!
Love, Maria |
