Maria Shaw's StarScopes Newsletter

Dear StarScopers,

Expect lots of changes now as we move from late July and into August. The cardinal climax peaks this week. Intense energies, calls to action and power struggles are everywhere, especially July 30 and 31st. This is a time of change; breaking old ties and bonds and creating a new life/path. Take your life in your own hands. Move forward. You can't go back. I've been writing about this period for over a year now. It's here. Move on! Be extra careful when you are traveling too. Watch your driving. August will be known for more accidents that usual. We are also in a period of reconciliation now. How many of you are having strong feelings about reaching out to an estranged family member? Is there an old friend who you wish to make amends with? Maybe you need to make peace with an "ex" so you can move forward with your own life. In this newsletter, I've included the best dates for August to make amends with people. Timing is everything! There are specific days that are better than others for doing things, based on astrology. So, I found it fitting to include those dates within the newsletter.

Nice Letters We Get

Maria,
I LOVED your story on moldavite this week! In fact, I ordered 2; one for myself, one for my daughters birthday (like you, she is a cancer). By the way, what did Joe get you for your birthday? LOL

I read the newsletter 15 minutes before the auto-responder sent it out in email so I told myself I was supposed to read the issue early so that I wouldn't miss out. In fact, I am a little afraid of the moldavite.

Ever since I was a kid I have times when I feel as you described yourself when you wore the moldavite, only I also have this sort-of "out of body" feeling. It has always frightened me because I never had anyone who could mentor me through it so I learned to "turn it off" (as best I could). However sometimes when I'm very tired, I still get it. But this year I have been drawn to tip-toe-ing through the door and just trying to meditate (I call it prayer so as not to be so afraid). So I cautiously will try the moldavite.

My daughter breaks my heart because she doesn't believe in God. She graduates from college in May of 11 and wants to launch her Business Entrepreneurial career so I hope the moldavite both helps her make the right business / career decisions, and on a deeper level, I hope she tunes in with her creator.

I loved your gems info so much in the issue before this one that I took notes, as well as bought citrine! I am trying to get a coaching business off the ground and need all the help I can get.
Blessings to you and Joe and all you do to give us direction

Cathy

Dear Cathy; thanks for the nice letter. Let me know what the moldavite brings you! It is especially helpful for all of us during these transformational times. You are the third person who asked what Joe got me for my birthday. I got the most gorgeous 1 carat diamond earrings. There's no need ever to buy another pair of earrings again!

Dear Maria;
I bought the citrine pouch you offered and within a few days of carrying it around with me, I got two calls for job interviews! I know you said citrine was good for employment. I will carry the pouch with me on the interviews. Thanks so much! Darlene

Loves Revolution - Chapter 1 To Rise We Must Fall

By Chris Castro

Now we are moving towards the jeweled light of love but here we are in darkness where we share this cold and lonely room. It is a place that hides our problems and hurts internally. It is place of emotional gloom that we have stored and bottled up . Last week I mentioned there are only two songs we can hear; Love and Fear.

One comes from the skies the other comes from our pain. One is eternal, it is changeless in that it will float into this world as long as there are souls who wish to shift the way people look at it. When Love is given freely it is extended, it increases out into the world that feeds off it as the bees do with nectar. Then there is the other, the one we all have buried deep in our hearts; Fear. Here is where the darkness grows but we shall call it the shadow figures because "it" is a presence that has life because we have birthed it. Once a person creates something it is difficult to rid ourselves of it because we are so attached to the things we create.

Fear is not real and has no hold over us unless we surrender our powers to it. Fear in Love is similar to a relationship that does not push us to grow into someone noble to become someone better than you used to be.

The shadows carry the spots from our past pain. They plant them in our minds so that when we wish to experiment with love we are reminded of our hurts. When we wish to try something new we are told about our failures. What I have uncovered is how the shadows attack our present moment with its rational from the past that no longer exists. The shadows seduce our minds with a formless result that keeps us at bay from trying something new.

A long time ago the shadows had my heart but now Love has charmed me and given me the courage to fly even if I don't know how.

Several years ago I began a business that started out with great potential. The finances and the people we needed fell into our plan like an ink spill on a white shirt. After several months we expanded into nine people but soon after the temptation of the shadows, they pulled each member in a different direction. It was as if the shadows had planned a massive attack and it worked. Slowly we were torn apart and the business had to be shut down against the work I had labored into a dream. One thing I learned is that after it I met myself, I saw who I had become; a person who could succeed despite the failures. If I decided to start it again the result would be different. I know this, you know this but still we are afraid and that is how we love, we love with fear.

Fear has many forms as does the shadows. The illusions differ greatly from person to person. They are made of sight that cannot be seen or sounds that cannot be heard. Fear can be right in front of us and we would not know it because we are so used to it. We have constructed a world around what we feel; we have constructed a world without emotions or feelings. We have constructed a world that is easier to drown in liquor, alcohol and lies.

"I just have a few each day…" a few each day is enough over a period of time to drown the dreams of your purpose. Let me share this import fact God whispered to me;

"Your reason for existence lies in your heart. You are here for greater things."

God breathed inspiration into your heart and love into your body. Now here I am asking you to embrace that new Love, the one absent from Fear.

The insane have taken over our world and govern it with a dictatorship that says love is not supposed to be fun. Love is not free. Love is not open. Love is not inspiring. Love is a routine. Love is something that is there. Love is not God or Source or Life or Universe. It is a rule that says you must FALL IN LOVE because to rise is to touch the halos of the cupids.

We have attacked our will and our perfection. We have attacked ourselves far too long without knowing why. My beautiful friends, it is all a delusion.

Yet here we are still standing. You wish to know about your Love life then grab my hand. If you wish to know about why the same things continue to happen to you, grab my hand. If you wish to walk the line only few have walked…grab my hand.

You have but two emotions. Love cannot abide in a world apart, Fear can. I have opened my heart and constructed my bridge for every single reader to walk, yes come here, into my heaven, into my heart. I am rising in Love and I will take you all with me.

Love is all there can be.

Law of Abundance Dates for August 2010

Mark your calendars, we have another Mercury Retrograde coming!

August 20 - September 11

Reconciliation with an Ex

Many of you know that when I do readings, especially the 1 questions through email, I give you specific dates to do things; the best dates astrologically to have surgery, go on a job interview, etc. Because I have had so many people this past week, ask me in readings, about reconciliation with an ex, I decided to list the best dates for reconciliation If you have a broken friendship marriage or love affair, here the best dates to contact the person you want to reconnect with. In some cases, it is not best to go back to the past now, because of these transformational times, (many should be moving on) but often you can not move forward until you make peace with the past. So whatever reason you are reconnecting, here are the best dates to do so....

August 2, 4, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

The Cardinal Cross: August 6-7th

August starts out with intense astro energies. Watch for stuff in the news; dramatic happenings. At work, you may be plagued with people in positions of power who are on power trips and creating difficulties. Be sure you create a sacred space in your work area or at home, so you have a safe environment to relax. On the 6th and 7th, we have a configuration called the Cardinal Cross. This is when planets are in harsh aspect to one another. We have almost 20 bad aspects; square, oppositions, etc. at one time! The tensions can be too much both on an external and internal level. This is also why we are seeing oil spills, crazy weather patterns, freak accidents, etc. Because Venus will be making contact this time, August is a time of more financial problems coming to a head. We will hear a lot about the country's debt and be surprised as to just how far in debt we actually are! I have never seen so many planets involved at one time in any configuration. All of the planets at some point except Neptune will be aspected. Personally, you may feel that it is hard to pay your bills this month or you may feel overwhelmed with debt. I have had thousands of dollars of special assessments on my condos this month. I can't afford the assessments and will try to spread the debt over a longer period. So what can you do during this period.....

1.) Recognize you are not alone. Everyone is going through this cycle.

2.) Get a game plan. Pay what you can but don't strap yourself

3.) Realize this too shall pass

4.) Take time everyday to unwind, de-stress and relax. Spend time outdoors.

5.) Don't allow negative media reports and fear to take hold. Fear feeds fear. It is a lower frequency. You will draw what you are feeling. Understand that God will take care of you. All will work out in the long run.

6.) You can only do so much. Do what you can and give the rest to God.

At the same time, there could be many breakthroughs for us; giving us a chance to look at life differently. There have been three wonderful breakthroughs in my life this week already. Changes are inevitable. There can't be rainbows without rain. Things will work out for the best if you are patient.

When it hurts to look back and you're afraid to look ahead, look besides you and there will be your friends.
Love, your friend, Maria
