Happy Birthday to all my Gemini friends and clients
Your forecast for the year ahead:

After two years of financial concerns, you'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief as the cosmos bless you with some extra cash this summer. But that's not the only good news for Twins who have several reasons to celebrate as they welcome another birthday. Jupiter, the planet of good luck and abundance, bestows golden opportunities for many of you in the workplace, especially if you are in the service fields. Your health should be good too but watch for weight gain as this is one those years you can't seem to lose the extra five pounds you'd like to. Regarding love ; If you are in a dead-end relationship, now's the time to get out of it and begin the preparation for one of the most magnificent love affairs ever. Cupid will aiming his arrow in your direction by year's end and most of 2007. If you already happily attached, then expect more wedded bliss. Travel is favored this June and July but beware of the mercury retrograde coming in July. By August, you could be entertaining the idea of a new home. If you don't make it happen by late September, expect to stay put for at least another year. Head to the casino in the fall as you'll be extra lucky! Job related moves look promising around that same time too. Near the holidays, love is no stranger. You could be madly in love as the new year approaches.

Nice Letters We Get

As you know, we wrapped up our Sense of Sedona trip a few weeks ago but we are still getting letters from the friends you traveled with us!

Dear Maria and Clay,
Shelley and I arrived home from Sedona on Tuesday eve. We spent the extra day on a tour of the Grand Canyon. Fabulous!

I would like to extend to both of you my Infinite love and gratitude for such a perfectly wonderful event. Even the weather cooperated! Each day was so nicely orchestrated. The people that were drawn to this long weekend were just lovely. The accommodations (Sky Ranch Lodge) were exactly where we needed to be. I healed so quickly this week!!!! My doctors are amazed and I am just thankful. Thank you for your hard work and continued positive attitude. It was truly a high for me. I look forward to many more gatherings in the years to come.

Love and bless,
Heidi

Hi everyone!
It was wonderful to experience Sedona again with such a beautiful group of people. I thought our energy together was just awesome! I want to thank each one of you for your loving support - whether in thought or hands on. I truly believe your healing energies helped the healing process along greatly - THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Hazel

Hi Maria:
Just thought I would drop you a quick note and tell you what a great time the Sedona trip was for me. It was a much needed vacation. I so enjoyed the evening we all had together having dinner - I haven't laughed that much in such a long time! I also enjoyed your address presentation. As usual my reading you gave me was top notch. I have my cassette tape in my desk at work so I can pull it out and listen to it throughout the year. I am so glad to have met you and all the people I have and will continue to meet through you. I know we will have a long & prosperous future together!!

Maria,
It took me long enough, but I finally committed to going on one of the trips you sponsor. I have to say, I couldn't have been more pleased. The "SENSE of SEDONA RETREAT" was absolutely amazing. Enchanting?!? Yes, it was definitely that and much, much more. I felt such powerful energy eminating from the earth and everyone I came in contact with. It was electric! So much positive energy could only make one feel great. And not just me...everyone was ALWAYS smiling! Just look at the pictures. All the people gathered for this trip were so friendly and fun, it was like we had known each other for years.

The effort and research you (and Clay) must have put into the preparation of the trip was apparent as it was absolutely awesome. The SKY RANCH LODGE was an OASIS in itself. It was obvious you tried to make the experience as pleasant as possible. As always, the Psychic Fair was great and I attended each lecture and wallked away with new insight and information from each one. The speakers were wonderful!

THANK YOU for making it all available. All I have to say to those wondering if they should go on one of these excursions or not is, "SIGN UP NOW!" I went without knowing anyone except Maria and came back home with more than 40 new friends! Keep up the great work...I can't wait for the next Enchantment (Inland) Retreat/Trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
In Light and Love,
Debra Moore, R.M.

The following are 2 letters from a lovely Leo client. Both I thought were very interesting and could be of help to others who are going through the same aspects, especially all of the Leos who read StarScopes.

Dear Maria,
Hope you are keeping well and I hope you had a blast on your trip. I have some random thoughts. First of all, what is going through my head is that Saturn is in my sun sign Leo. It is finishing a conjunction to my Moon also in Leo. Soon it will conjunct my Mercury. Then conjunct my Pluto and then finally conjunct my Sun. The only thing I can say is Whew! But this time I'm not afraid of Saturn. Why? Because the last few days, I have been in meditation and looked back at the first time Saturn hit all my planets in Leo. Here is what happened:

I was in a loveless marriage, no support from my husband. When Saturn hit my moon, I was so depressed. I was almost suicidal. Nothing I did was right. I even miscarried my only child.

Then, Saturn hit my Mercury; I got a flash of inspiration. May I could write? I started my first novel, writing while my husband was at work. Of course, he thought I was crazy, but I pressed on. I even enrolled in a college creative writing class, just to see if I had any "talent." I was thinking about my first novel last night. When I think of the way I wrote when I was in my twenties, it amazes me.

Saturn hit my Pluto, and then money was tight for awhile. But I still pressed on, with little support from my husband. Can you guess where this story is headed? Finally, Saturn hit my sun. Is there any doubt that when Saturn was directly on my sun, I left him? I saw the door cracked open and ran for my life. I moved back in with my parents, went back to college and got my degree. But that part of my life is now over. This time I know I can write and nothing is going to stop me. I only want to draw supportive people to me.

For anybody is a Leo with Saturn my advice for you is to press on! After Saturn leaves Leo, your life is going to change, but for the better.

Regards,
Helen from Michigan

Note from Maria: last year I wrote a piece on Saturn in Leo....right when Saturn was about to visit this zodiac sign, in hopes of preparing my Leo friends with the aspects ahead. A year later, many like Helen, have found themselves engrossed in the process so I thought it was worth repeating the article: Saturn in Leo - Lessons for All!

Dear Maria,
As promised, here is the second email: The value of the solar return chart. In fact, I am beginning to think that the solar return chart is more important indicator of future trends than the regular reading of the natal chart.

Last year, I had my first solar return chart done. I had high hopes of my novel being published.The solar return chart meant that my focus for the year was to be out of the “public view.” The solar return indicated that this trend favored a new writing project. Just before my birthday, I got a brilliant idea for a new screenplay. So, this year, I have spent the year, writing the screenplay, making new contacts as my Natal Jupiter was on my 10th house cusp( work and career). I had good aspects. As I look back on the previous year, it was my duty to lay the groundwork for my success this up and coming year.

For this year's birthday, the solar return chart says alot about my career. Guess where I am headed? Already, I am beginning to feel the effects of the New Year. The solar return said I would have difficulties in the 9th house(publishing world). The novel I thought would be published wasn't due the publishing house going out of business. The owner is declaring bankruptcy so I won't be able to collect any monies. And yes, I was denied some legal rights with the screenplay.

I had my Natal Saturn on the 3rd house cusp which rules neighbors. I had a heavy obligation this year as a close neighbor was a crime victim, lost both her mother and her job. But I feel that sense of obligation beginning to loosen. The position of Saturn also meant to me to “get serious” about my writing. Which I did.

As a whole I would recommend everyone get his or her solar return done once a year. It would also make one heck of a birthday present.

Regards,
Helen

P.S. I know I have discussed the effect of Saturn in Leo, but the more I reflect, the more I have come to understand that my old way of life for the past thirty years is dying. It is time to embrace my new life. And with Saturn in Leo, it gives me the courage to lead with my heart.

Crystal of the Month is: Pyrite

Pyrite looks like gold. It sparkles and is very pretty. Some times its called fools gold. It is a traditional stone for money and good luck. Its name comes from the Greek word meaning "a stone which strikes fire".

Pyrite is a great energy shield. It can block negativity from people and bad situations. It also has been said to help people overcome feelings of inadequacy. It can give energy to any area that you place it in. For example; if there is a lot ofnegativity in your office, place it on your desk to dispel the negativity. Pyrite can help you overcome fatigue. It is said to increase oxygen supply to the blood. Good for the lungs, helping with bronchitis and asthma.
$8 each for polished or raw chunks. 810-631-6887 to order.
