Hi StarScopes Subscriber,
A couple of quick notes before we get into the feature stories I wrote for this month.
I'd like to thank Lora O Connor at the New Living Expo in San Francisco and all of the you wonderful folks who turned out for my workshop the last of April there. It was so nice to meet you all and I had lots of fun.
The following day I met many of you in Detroit at The Body, Mind and Spirit Festival. I spoke on a topic from my upcoming book Soul Mates and Cell Mates. I was thrilled to see so many new faces and thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth. I hope to be back in the fall. As always Gerri, Cindy and gang did a great job!
I would like to thank Alternatives Magazine and Peggy Gelphi for sponsoring my workshop in New Orleans. I had a wonderful time. The people I met over the weekend were so wonderful. Thanks to everyone involved and those that attended. Hope to see you at our next workshop. Peggy will have more info within the next few months!
This letter came in from a Libra gentlemen who attended my Soul Mate workshop in New Orleans in April.
Maria, It was a pleasure to meet you and be able to assist with the workshop this weekend.
I came away from this weekend with a lot of new knowledge and new insight and look forward to learning more. You have a tremendous talent, not only with your knowledge, but the way you present yourself and the information. Your workshop as well as your talk at the bookstore was informative as well as entertaining. You have wonderful people skills which unfortunately many people in the business fail to express.
I just wanted to say thank you for coming down to do the workshop and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

The Shadowy Figure in Your Astrology Chart and What It Can Tell You
Note: You can read this entire article on the MariaShaw.com website.
I am fascinated by Lilith. So much so that I have been driven to write about her. I found that Lilith in my own chart is in a prominent position...therefore the Goddess herself is probably using me as vehicle to educate more people about her legacy.
For the most part, astrologers use only the 12 signs and houses when giving a reading. Many of you know that I also have done great research on Eros ( see old newsletter) and am now becoming acquainted with Lilith. Let's take a look at the history and then the legend of Lilith.

predicted) is dead-on!"
Alicia Minshew (Kendall, All My Children)
" Wow. About 98 percent of this is right on. It's almost erie how right on she
(Maria) is."

Attention: Those joining us on Maria's Enlightenment Cruise out of Los Angeles. Northwest was running a special earlier this week for $114 one way out of Flint, MI. I believe you needed a Saturday Night stay. It is worth checking into because that would be a good price. I have been checking for a while and for the longest time the price was a little over $300. I would also check Spirit Airlines. I was able to get good deals in the past nonstop Detroit to LAX. | | | Three Planets Changing Signs
Part II
Saturn in Cancer
Copyright Maria Shaw
Saturn moves out of the sign of Gemini and into the nurturing, emotional sign of Cancer on June 4th. It visits until July 2005. The long suffering Gemini get relief and then the Lord of Karma turns its attention to those born late June and into July. But all signs will affected in one way or another. The signs most challenged will be in Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra. The signs benefiting will be Scorpio and Pisces because Saturn is in a trine position to these native's sun sign (good position).
Saturn makes us work hard for everything. It challenges us and forces us to look at our life in a very serious manner. Just ask any Gemini what they've been through since mid- 2001. But it also rewards us for a job well done. Wherever Saturn is in your natal chart, you will have to pay close attention in this area of your life for it will be tested and challenged. If you pass the tests, you will be rewarded in a big way. If you fail to live up to your responsibilities, Saturn will not be as kind. Here's a rundown on how Saturn will affect each sign. If you know your rising sign, read that sign too.
Capricorn - Your major relationships will be tested. The strong will survive and the weak ones will end. If single you could marry. If married, the union will be tested. You may feel choked or trapped in long term relationships. Avoid court.
Aquarius - This is your weight loss year. If you need to drop a few pounds, you will! Be sure to take care of your health this year as your immune system could be down and beware of stressful situations at work. It's not the job, the people are the problem!
Pisces - The trine to your sun will give you opportunities to work hard and be rewarded in a big way but you may experience problems with bratty kids, have no free time and lose at the slot machines. Forget Vegas for the next 2 years.
Aries - You'll be tired a lot and grumpy because of Saturn squaring your sun sign. Everyone is pulling your chain. Watch for problems in the family and possibly concern for an elderly parent. You'll feel like putting roots down.
Taurus - Saturn will benefit you a little here as it sextiles your sun; meaning there will be opportunities to take advantage of. But be careful when driving and don't get into heated battles with the in-laws.
Gemini - You'll welcome Saturn in Cancer because it leaves your sun sign for good! Well, at least you won't have to deal with a lot of karma for the next 30 years. You will need to be careful with you finances however. Don't overspend. That's the best advice I can give you because money will be tight for the next 2 years
Cancer - Hang on tight! You the Crab who hate to let go of the past and aren't as adaptable to change, like say an Aquarius, will be forced to make sweeping changes in your life., What you thought was safe and secure but no longer need, you'll have to say adios to. You'll be tested to see what you're really made of. Cancers get stronger with every adventure Saturn puts you through. Get plenty of rest and meditate....and pray! But know that in 2005 Saturn will reward you for all of your hard work
Leo - Hidden enemies will be working overtime. Subconscious hurts and thoughts you thought were long buried, bubble to the surface and you must deal with them. You can handle it. You've been through much worse. A piece of cake.
Virgo - Friendships will be tested and you may have to call it quits in certain relationships that are headed no where. Best to let go. You may also not have as much time as you'd like to socialize. But a sextile from Saturn helps you get ahead in life in more ways than one.
Libra - You will feel exhausted so get your beauty rest. You'll load up on vitamins and caffeine and it won't make a difference so pace yourself. There's argumentative people around too. But your career is headed for a peak....or a major fall. If you have worked hard and built a solid foundation these past seven years, you'll be rewarded and your career will rise to great heights. If you cheated, lied and clawed your way to the top, you could lose everything. These were the same aspects that Richard Nixon had when Watergate broke.
Scorpio - A trine to the sun helps you accomplish any thing you desire and you have great aspects to go back to school and travel for work. Your reputation could be on the line so be careful of your actions. Problems with authority figures and bosses can be expected.
Sagittarius - Your partner's money will be affected. There are not enough funds to go around. You may be turned down for a loan. Expect your bills to go up. You sex life stinks. But at least your intuitive abilities and spiritual development will help you through a few troubling times.
That's it for now. Next month, part III - Jupiter in Virgo and what blessings it will brings to you! | | | A Gargen for Daily Living...
For those of you who will be planting a garden this month...think about this:
A Garden for Daily Living
Plant three rows of peas: Peas of mind, Peas of heart, Peas of soul Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip, Squash indifference, Squash grumbling, Squash selfishness
Plant four rows of lettuce: Lettuce be faithful, Lettuce be kind, Lettuce be happy, Lettuce really love one another
No garden should be without turnips: Turnip for service when needed, Turnip to help one another, Turnip the music and dance
We must have thyme: Thyme for fun, Thyme for rest, Thyme for ourselves
To conclude our garden, water freely with patience and Cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
