Hello StarScopers

Our last full weekend of Psychic Fairs for this season is here! This Saturday we will be in Saginaw and then on Sunday in Lansing. On June 4th, we will be in Grand Blanc MI and then our season winds down until we start up again in the fall. However we will be in Minnesota in August and quite possibly, New Orleans.

This week, Joe is working on findings on our recent paranormal investigation in Salem MA. So expect more in our next newsletter on that.

Also we have added a new cruise at a fantastic price for early 2012, to the Mayan Ruins!

We have a buy one get one free end of fair season sale going on. See below.

I will also share information on the summer eclipses ahead. As always, Chris Castro shares some spiritual wisdom. There's lots to share, so let's begin with our schedule….

Hello Maria, Joe and the LPI team,

I wanted to express my thanks for the wonderfully informative tour in Salem this past weekend. It was a pleasure to meet you and Joe and the LPI team was kind and professional. I was very impressed by the hotel and the sites we visited. As a first time visitor, I found Salem a beautiful town and I thoroughly love history so this combination made it even more exciting for me.

The evidence with the flashlight that we were shown was incredible. If I have recorded anything of significance I'll send it to you if you'd like. I haven't had an opportunity to review anything as of yet. I had a many sensations and perceptions of things which were amazing.

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to travel to Salem with your group. Paranormal investigation is still a new field for me so to witness other investigators in the field was very helpful. Gave me some good ideas on how we can improve our investigations. I sincerely hope that you were able to acquire a lot of evidence during this trip. Although Salem relies a lot upon it's ghosts for tourism, I sincerely hope there will be a time when those who are at unrest whether they are seeking justice or forgiveness, will all find peace and their way back Home.

Blessings of Love and Light,

Catherine

Hi Maria, first of all thank you for the amazing opportunity to go to Salem, I had an amazing time. I was just wondering the dates for the cosmic convention and the cruise so that I can make sure I have them off for work. I also definitely want to go to Mackinaw and Gettysburg whenever that may be thanks again for the amazing trip xoxo. Amanda H.

Maria

I just had to share this. I no more than signed my law of abundance check and the phone rang and I had won 2 tickets to see Colin Raye in my hometown. I don't think this is a coincidence. Thanks, Maria.

You are an Angel!!

Well Maria, I have had quite a year and I owe it all to you! I never really got a chance to say thank you but from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!!! When I first met you early last year you had suggested that Britty and I come to the convention...I'm not sure if you knew what we would find there or if you just suggested it for us to broaden our horizons. Whatever the case may be, I met my soul family once again in this lifetime, they mean so much to me and have helped me grow tremendously!!! I love them with all my heart and I have you to thank for that. I would not be the person I am today without you so I just wanted to take the time out to let you know what an amazing gift you have given me. I feel so blessed to have you in my life. At the conventions I'm able to be myself and forget about any troubles, you have brought me to accept who I am even though others think it is wrong and you are just so sweet, you and Joe both and it would take me a lifetime to show my gratitude. Thank you again for connecting me and my "family" I feel so complete

Good morning Maria,

As always this was a great Newsletter. By all means let your reader that fell for Jenna the Astrologer know that she should run! Jenna, whether man or woman has been up to the same shenanigans since October of 2008. Once you unsubscribe from her site she will write again under a new name and photo. She will even go so far as to send a photo with the same face but different wig. I never sent any money but, wanted to since each e-mail from her became better than the one before.

Lately out of the clear blue I've been receiving letters from a woman who goes by the name of Bethea. At first she only wanted to read for me, and it was urgent that she do so. Now it's that she must sell me some sort of talisman. Each email has contained a coin that I must hurry and get; of course it's free. But, I must pay for shipping and handling and each month after receiving it she will send something else to keep it ignited to my soul to either protect me, guide me to love, show me money etc.

We are certainly living in desperate times with little compassion for our fellow man. As I told my children during their growing up years everyone has a plan for you upon first laying eyes on you. Its up to you to use your discernment and know who they are. Of all the many readings I've had. The most accurate have come from you and Joe Lawson. Even a year later you will repeat the exact same thing. However, others will swear that they never told me what I taped or wrote down they had said. Be careful people! Love shouldn't hurt or drain your bank account to find or be in. Just yesterday, while purchasing $91.00 dollars worth of candles and incense from a candle shop in Ferndale, Michigan. I noticed a woman following me from the candle shop to the Boston Tea Room which is across the hall. She spoke loud and insisted to everyone that gave her a minute of their time that she made candles! I was certain she was hinting for me to ask since she had observed and watched me pay for my items in the other room. I said nothing, and kept my distance as she had the clerk pick out piece after piece of "must have jewelry for her". Making a long scenario short, she told the clerk she had been "Some what let go from a job she had worked at for over thirty years and would explain that later the next time she saw her. She might even ride her bike back later in the day to tell her the whole story." Mean while, she was holding up the line and only gave the clerk eight dollars to hold this item that she just had to have. Our most important tool is our intuition, and we must use it at all cost!

Grateful for Maria and Joe, Sandy

The Summer Eclipses
By Maria Shaw

Eclipses are said to shake things up in our lives. We hear the weatherman on our nightly newscasts tell us to go outside and look at the eclipse at a specific time but seldom does anyone tell you how the energy can affect you.

Eclipses bring sudden and unexpected change in our lives. But usually, we get a preview of what to expect up to a month before the actual eclipse occurs.

Many times, an eclipse will take something away, only to bring something new in its place. We hear of many events happening around the time of an eclipse. Princess Diana and Mother Teresa died on an eclipse. Pay close attention to your newscasts this summer as they are sure to include many breaking and usual stories.

An eclipse doesn't have to bring bad news. Many times, it brings good news and sometimes we just don't realize it at the time. Many people may lose a job during an eclipse, only to be given a better one. Some relationships end during this time and others begin or get a second chance. How an eclipse will affect you will show in your astrological chart. If you want to know specifically how the eclipses will affect you, see your astrologer soon or just ask the question through my 1 question email readings available on my website store. Simply ask, "How will the summer eclipses affect me?"

Whatever area the eclipse falls in your natal chart will be highlighted or you can expect some change. The aftermath of eclipses can take up to a year but I have noticed that many times, within 3 weeks to three months, most of the changes occur. If you have a birthday on, or within a day on other side of an eclipse, it will be a phenomenal year for you. Something amazing or special may happen in your life. My birthday fell the day after last summer's eclipse and I am getting married this year. I also bought a new home. So many other things have happened as well; too many to list.

The eclipses this summer will fall as follows

Solar Eclipse
Jun 01 - 9:17 pm Gemini 11°

Lunar Eclipse
Jun 15 - 8:13 pm Sagittarius 24°

Solar Eclipse
Jul 01 - 8:39 am Cancer 9°

Full Moon
July 15 - Capricorn 22°

And according to my research, some astrologers are calling July 15th 2011, an eclipse and others are just saying there's a full moon. Regardless of how you celebrate, there will be a full Moon in Capricorn with the sun in Cancer at 1:39 AM . I will be looking at this date as one filled with eclipse energy and affecting Capricorns, Cancers, Aries and Libra.

The signs that will be most affected are the ones I just mentioned above and also Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces and Virgo. But remember, you have those signs somewhere in your chart so everyone will be affected in one way or another.

The effects of a Solar Eclipse can come in exactly one month before it appears. On May 1st. Osama Bin Laden was assassinated. The ancients believed that during an eclipse, the "mighty will fall". More news will be revealed about Osama's death around the June 1st eclipse.

The June 1st Solar Eclipse is at 11 degree Gemini. Solar Eclipses relate to sudden events that disrupt our day-to-day matters. They bring a crisis out of nowhere and tend to stir things up, even more than Lunar Eclipses.

This eclipse is in good aspect to the planet Saturn so it should be positive in many ways.

The June 15th Lunar Eclipse is at 24 degrees Sagittarius with the sun in Gemini. Gemini rules communication/information and Sagittarius rules foreign countries, legal things and higher education. This eclipse may have a lot to do with those things. Full Moon Eclipses bring up old memories and often endings. On a Lunar Eclipse something will end and on a Solar Eclipse something will begin. The Lunar Eclipse sometimes forces out of our current situations and onto better situations.

Full moon eclipses help you finally make decisions about things that you have been thinking about. Sometimes you feel it a month before and eve deal with an issue months afterwards. Lunar Eclipses cause us to be much more emotional than Solar Eclipses.

The July 1 Solar at 9 Cancer. You may have lots on your plate and dealing with issues surrounding the things Cancer rules, like home and family decisions. A Solar Eclipse can help you move into a new direction.

Eclipses are perfect times to manifest and meditate. Try to carve out some time of your busy schedule to do just that. Take time to reflect on where you've been and where you want to be in life. This summer can be a very powerful period in which much can happen and most of it is probably destined to materialize!

Metaphysical Musing
By Chris Castro

As you may have guessed these past few months has been a conversation about energy, emotions, 2012 and soul lessons. This path that we are gently walking will bring us to an understanding of a spiritual life and what it means to accept the divinity of your soul. Moreover what lies behind the secret doors within each vibration?

Acknowledging that we create our days with energy is accepting we are not powerless. In fact this wisdom grants us the power to shift how we see our life. But with new eyes comes the reality of new challenges. Uncle Ben told Peter Parker "with great power comes great responsibilities." We call this spiritual maturity. Depending on how we use our power can determine if it's friend or foe; with the power of energy the choice is how we use it, to hurt or heal.

When energy and wisdom is used with love it can change the way the world turns. In fact it can change a person's life as many of you may have had a reading with Maria Shaw's gifted readers. However energy is unforgiving in that if flows without judgment. Similar to the Universe it does not question us it simply follows its response. The purpose of energy is to navigate the currents ahead of us. Mastering this dimension is gaining what I call the strategy guide to our blueprint which is like a cheat code to the game of life.

Life is a choice made by something our minds cannot accept and that is why we forget. Maybe it is a self-protection device that keeps us from knowing where we truly come from or where we are going afterwards. Energy is the key because it exists solely to open the doors to Vibrations and frequencies. When we unlock the highest vibration we experience the highest secret.

As you gather new energies you will notice your vision change. Old soul lessons will dissipate while new ones show up in a different disguise. At times you may question whether time has shifted backwards or that your progress along the path of spirit is somehow punishing you. I am here to remind you that none of this is true.

When I decided to unlock a new vibration my Ego wanted to keep me in the comforts of my own fear. My view of life changed when I ignored the Ego and moved in the curiosity of the life I created for myself. What I discovered once I walked through the first door pulled back the veil of what I felt but did not understand which is:

Life is an Illusion

Each person responds to their illusion as they see fit. You chose the illusion you wish to live and energy is what creates it. Every level of creation exists inside of you and is able to co-exist in the third dimension. A shift in energy reveals another doorway, another secret however it does not change the energy around you it only opens your eyes to another strand of energy which creates another illusion. There is one thing to remember out of all this; all life is an illusion with each one responding to the energy you give it. Without energy illusions cannot exist. Any energy that does not have support fades. Einstein discovered that "without movement nothing happens."

In each moment and thought we are choosing which door we will open next. From there we will create our next illusion and the experience you wish to remember. It's possible that each door has many details and many variations because it is limitless and its foundation depends on what we feed it with, fear or love. That is why there is no reality besides the one we create for ourselves and even then it is only real for you.

The collective illusion as experienced by the whole of humanity is based on what each perceives as life and can know of life such as "I am not perfect." (You believe this because you have been told). But the opposite is true. As the collective vibration of love increases the fear based illusion disappears because now we are using our energy for something different.

The universe supports us but does not direct us. Manage the energy and master the illusion and the most powerful lesson, heaven is inside and love attaches everything. Believe what you wish because it has already come true.
