Maria Shaw's StarScopes Newsletter

Happy New Year StarScopers!

May you and your families all be blessed with good health, prosperity and happiness in the New Year.

I would like to thank everyone for the cards, letters and emails you sent over the holidays. It was wonderful to hear from so many of you by phone, face book or email.

With Christmas behind us, we welcome in the new energies of 2012.

I have written an article on what to expect this year based on the numerology for 2012. A newsletter following in January will have more 2012 news. I also wrote an article on New Years resolutions and best dates to start them.

I will also be doing free lectures with my annual predictions at the psychic fairs. I will post the appearances on facebook. Friend me at Maria Shaw Lawson. We will be in New Orleans, Duluth MN, various cities in Michigan and Minneapolis MN.

You can also book an in-person appointment for your New Years reading at one of the shows or a phone reading by calling 810-631-6887. I have openings at all of the fairs listed below and will be doing personal, private readings the day(s) before in Duluth and Minneapolis.

Nice Letters We Get

Hi Maria,

Thank you so much for your wonderful newsletter and beautiful energy you share with this us all.

Happy Holiday with love and appreciation,

Diane

I gave myself a birthday gift of a reading with you in October and it has been so right on; Thank you for all you do! Cathy

Maria, it was SO NICE to talk with you today. Your predictions are always the most accurate. As I look back over the years, I can see how many of things you told me have come true. I'm sitting here looking at that little gray cat that you said would find me!

My last reading with you was in January and I was so optimistic & rejuvenated after the reading. Your reading was honest, accurate & emotional. Things are changing this year for this Aries!

Thank you for sharing your spiritual gift with all of us!

Thank you, Maria Shaw Lawson, for reminding me that my dreams do have meanings and to follow my intuition. Looks like I'll have a much better year in 2012. Tracey
2012 - A Year of Great Change
By Maria Shaw Lawson

Feel free to share and pass on this information but kindly give me credit for my work.

The next 12 months are going to be bigger than you may have ever expected. Your ideals, thoughts, life path, expectations and desires are going to change. 2012 may be one of the most important years you've ever experienced.

From a numerological perspective, 2012 is a Number Five Year. Five is about change. Things will not stay the same. Your theme is change. Your job is to accept and embrace the change.

No longer can you sit on the fence and think about what you should do or what you'd like to do one day. That day is here and it's time to take action. I have done readings for many people from around the country and even in foreign countries this past week. ALL of them were making some sort of change or were ready to.

The Number Five energy also relates to creativity, fun, freedom and romance. These will be important values in our lives this year. After several years of hardships, crisis, financial fears, job losses, home foreclosures and the like, people are tired of the crisis and want to enjoy life. Even if some of the problems still persist, the attitude of many is, regardless of troubles, they want to enjoy life and find happiness. We recently saw this attitude represented in the upswing of retail spending over the holidays. People are tired of scrimping.

Each of us will entertain the notion of some change we need or want to make this year because of the Five energy. Many of you must "end" something in your lives to start something new. Change is good because it opens up the door of opportunity for new things, people, situations and options to come into your life.

So many people have claimed their lives have become stagnant and dull. They have felt as if they are just waiting for something to happen. What they must realize is the change must start with them….their willingness to let go of the past, things that are no longer working for them and try something new.

In the past, I have claimed that this is easier said, than done. People are not willing to let go of their security blankets. There is a comfortableness in their uncomfortableness. But this attitude is changing in 2012 because people have found that old attitude has gotten them nowhere.. The same old-same old isn't working for them anymore. Frankly, some folks just don't have a choice but to make changes. But they do have a choice whether or not to openly and whole-heartedly embrace the changes. This year, I believe more of us will be open to embrace new situations like never before…..and yes even the strong willed Taurus, Capricorn and Scorpios!

You will hear of a lot of people making sweeping job, relationship, and residential changes this year. Some of these situations will seem long in coming. Others will take you completely by surprise. I bet many of you will look back on your lives on January 31, 2012 and be amazed at how much your life had changed.

So in this New Year, if something is presented to you, take a look at it. Don't dismiss it. If you keep hearing the same suggestions from people that you should be doing something different, open your ears…. and your heart.

It will be an exciting year. Make time for romance, for fun, for travel and play.

If you know you want to change your life, but you just don't know how to do it, take small steps, talk with a life coach or astrologer. Brainstorm with your friends. Solutions and ideas are all around you. Don't negate or dismiss them. This is not the year to come up with excuses as to why you can't do something. The universe will not settle for this approach. It will keep gnawing at you, making you feel uncomfortable, choked, trapped, restricted, etc. and force you to see that change is the only way. Small steps lead to accomplish too.

If you re-read some of my older newsletter on my website, such as the cardinal climax and Pluto in Capricorn, I predicted this year of change and completion back in 2008 and 2009. It's here! No more time for contemplating. Time for action!

Each year, we begin a new theme based on the Master Number for the New Year. 2012 is 2+0+1+2 = 5; the year of change.

But you personally, also have a special numerology cycle this year. Each cycle has a different theme and meaning. Your personal theme for your year is based on your birth data. It will be different for everyone. If you'd like to get an email reading on what your numerology for the year ahead is, you can order one through my website store. It will be a few paragraphs foretelling what your overall theme for 2012 entails and where your strengths and challenges will be. You can order the one question email by clicking here. A second one for a friend or family member can be ordered for half price if ordered at the same time. Just type in "What is my overall theme for 2012?" The numerology reading is always included in the personal and phone consultations you book for 30 or 60 minute appointments.

New Year's Resolutions
By Maria Shaw

If it seems easier for some friends to stick to their new years resolutions than others, you may want to consider their success based on their sun sign and astrology chart.

If you're a Pisces, you may want to skip this article all together. Ruled by Neptune (and strictly speaking sun signs) Pisces have no boundaries and they are usually the first to opt out of their resolutions. But don't despair. There's still hope if your natal chart's planets are working on your behalf.

If you're a Capricorn, your convictions are strong and your ruling planet Saturn will help you with discipline and structure.

One of the best ways to decide if a new years resolution will work for you is to look at the transiting planets in your chart. Are you being hit hard right now by Saturn (Aries, Libra, Cancer, etc)? It may be all you can do, just to get up in the morning and drag yourself to work. So putting added stress on your plate, may not be in your best interest at this point but instead, you could delay some resolutions until this period has passed.

If you are an earth sign; Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo you have a better chance of sticking to resolutions than most other signs. Capricorn have the best chance of any zodiac sign to make long term commitments and see results. Taurus do well because they have a stubbornness that cannot be matched. They have tunnel vision but one resolution that is hard to keep is diet and exercise. The Bull loves good food! Virgo does well when they make lists of their resolutions and how they plan to accomplish them. A daily journal works well to keep them on track.

Water Signs can be wishy washy about resolutions. Everything is based on how they feel and their emotions at the time. Out of the three water signs, fixed Scorpio has the most willpower but they have to completely commit in order to be successful..

Cancer will face challenges because they are ruled by the moon and their emotional state changes every two and half days just as the moon changes signs. They can be very strong willed about a plan and then, out of the blue, lose interest. Pisces often find it hard to stick to a resolution. They mean well, but do not like restrictions and boundaries.

Of the Air Signs; Gemini can battle within; the good and evil twin. They can talk themselves into something and out of something. They get bored with the same old routine and easily distracted from their goals. If they can set short-term goals, they would be more successful. Libra needs to work with a friend on attaining goals. They are fortunate in partnerships. So the buddy system works best here. Aquarius as a fixed sign is usually good at following through on things as long as the journey is fun.

Of the Fire Signs, Leo is the best over the long haul because it is fixed sign. They hate to deny themselves anything but do love the attention and applause they get from others for a job well done. They like to set an example too.

Sagittarius do best by using their intuition on what, when and how to achieve their goals. They are positive thinkers and motivated by their minds.

Aries is very goal oriented. They are overachievers and very excited about starting new things but they lose interest quickly. They need fast results to keep them interested.

The best days to start a new years resolution is actually on the new moon on January 23. But if you wish to get started right away, here's a few good dates to do so…January 3, 4 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 24, 30, 31.

The best dates to start a diet are January 10, 11, 17

We are so excited for about our upcoming tours and events. Joe and I are welcoming over 60 folks on our annual cruise January 9-14 to the Mayan Ruins. A bon voyage party at our home in the French Quarter is planned January 8th. Hope to see many of you at our shows and events.

Blessings, Maria
