Honoring the Feminine Spirit Day - Belated Mother's Day Celebration!
With Mother's Day right around the corner, many of us are thinking beyond the candy and flower gifts this year. We want to do something extra special for the special lady in our lives we call Mom. Whether she is the wonderful soul that raised us, a favorite aunt or sister, perhaps a dear neighbor or just a friend, we want to honor her on this special day.
What's the best gift you can give her? That's easy....it's the gift of your company and time. Sure, it's nice to get a box of Godiva chocolates. No one is going to argue with that. But if you really want to get original this year, take "Mom" to a special event at the Flint School of Therapeutic Massage and spend the day with her. The Sunday after Mother's Day is set; May 20th from 11a.m. to 5p.m. at the School, which is offering an array of free and fun things to do.
Complimentary massages will be offered throughout the day. Mom can partake in a reflexology session. She can learn more about the best selling book "The Secret" while attending a lecture with Lapeer's Mark Potter; who will talk about the Law of Attraction.
Mom can get her palm read, enjoy a light lunch and indulge one of five complimentary classes offered from "Feel the Peace of Release; getting rid of unwanted emotional baggage" to something light and fun hearted like summer astrology predictions for her zodiac sign.
Admission to Mom's day is only $10 with readings by local palm and tarot card readers the same.
For details, visit MariaShaw.com or call the school at 810-767-1000.
If you cannot make it out to any of the fairs this month, you can always email me a question for the 1 Question reading. Click here for details... http://mariashaw.com/store/one_question/ |
Nice Letters We Get
Dear Maria
I would like to see more monthly horoscopes in your newsletters. I go by them and like to see what is ahead for that month. Thank-you.
S.
Dear S.
Thank for you taking the time to write. You can get my weekly horoscopes in the National Enquirer. Check them out when you're standing in the supermarket line. I'm usually in one of the last three pages of the magazine. You can't miss it. Also my monthly horoscopes are in Soap Opera Digest (Star Sight Column) and a complete forecast for money, health, beauty and love in Complete Woman available at newsstands around the country!
Dear Maria,
Your most recent newsletter really hit home!
"In my own natal chart, Saturn in Leo is hitting my fixed T-Square including Sun, Pluto in Leo in 11th, squaring both Mars in Scorpio in the 2nd and Jupiter in Taurus in the 8th. Needless to say, my finances for the last six months have been in dumpster!
Like you, I'm living day to day, but things have been beginning to change. Why? I am starting to use the "Law of Attraction." And then I am starting to have an Attitude of Gratitude. Every night before I go asleep, I count my blessings. I may not have the best house in the world, but I have a house. I might have to watch my food budget, but I have food to eat. I might not have the best car, but I have a car to get me to work. You get the idea. What you concentrate expands.
"Again, touching on Astrology, I have been given a second change to reexamine what I truly value. During this transit I have come to realize the following:
1. I don't need credit cards to survive If fact, I have just come off a successful negotiation to pay off one of my credit cards, and I cut the card up and put it in the trash! (8th house)
2. What I value most in my life is my God, and my wonderful resource of creative writing that was given to me. That my ideas bring encouragement and happiest to people around me. (2nd house)
3. That I have many people support me. That more people support me than are against me. That my goals, dreams, and ambitions can come true. (11th house)
This part of the whole Saturn in Leo transit has been the most challenging part for me. Don't forget that it passed once last year, went RX, and now is getting ready to go direct.
When I look back on this period of my life, it might be the most rewarding period of my life."
Peace,
Helen
Dear Helen - As always, thank you for sharing your insight and experiences with the StarScopers!
Dear Maria,
Just a note to inform you of my good luck. I have your 2007 Astrology and Moon calendar.
Everyday, I consult the calendar for lucky days, etc. particularly money days.
I am a Virgo and on Friday, March 30, 2007 the calendar read "Virgo Moon" and had three dollar signs under the Under Virgo. At the top of the Moon calendar you stated that March 30 was a lucky day for me.
I live in Penna. and gambling was approved last year. We had a new casino open up in Erie, Penna. on Wednesday, February 28, 2007. The casino is about 35 minutes from my house.
On Friday, March 30, 2007, I made my 1st visit to the Casino. I put $10.00 in a $1.00 machine and played the maximum coins of $2.00. The machine came up trip, trip, trip (Jackpot) for $5,000.00.
Needless to say, I was astounded. I then thanked the Lord and you, Maria Shaw for this wonderful information. I truly believe that all this works.
Thanks a million, Maria. What a wonderful return on a $20.00 investment.
Real nice talking to you.
Love, Jean
Dear Jean - Thank you for writing and sharing your story. I have heard many from my readers who have had good luck as well. If anyone else wants to order a moon calendar, they are only $15.00 off of my website.

Speaking of luck riding high, a Houston Texas newspaper did a story on 7-7-07 and interviewed me about my thoughts on the lucky day!
Couples gamble on lucky 7-7-7 wedding date
By: Brad Meyer, Courier staff
04/09/2007
Will triple sevens bring wedding bliss and prove lucky for those planning their once-in-a-lifetime wedding?
That's the question at the center of a nationwide craze of nuptial-bound couples planning to say their "I do's" on July 7. The date, symbolically adjusted to 7-7-7, is thought by many to be a sure sign of luck.
For others, it's simply a fun and easily remembered date for a summer wedding.
"It's a powerful day with lots of energy and potential," said Maria Shaw, The National Enquirer's astrologist who counsels top celebrities and appears regularly on television. "There is an amazing amount of interest in this date for weddings and special events."
The phenomenon has captured the imagination of romantics across the country and around the world. Travel industry professionals with airlines, cruise lines and hotels all report above average interest in bookings for the July 7 weekend.
The top caterers, photographers and disk jockeys in most areas have been booked on July 7 for months, according to industry insiders. If the idea of getting married on 7-7-7 is starting to appeal to you, you're probably too late for a traditional wedding event.
Most churches, hotels and other wedding venues are booked solid for the day - many having a series of weddings scheduled one after the other.
Thinking of heading to Las Vegas for a quickie wedding? Think again. Vegas resort hotels are booked solid and wedding chapels are running a waiting list.
"There has been a flurry of activity from couples who want to get married July 7," said Kayla McDaniel, a top wedding planner in Houston. "We started getting calls in late 2005 wanting to book that date. We usually get calls nine months in advance, not 18 months."
Roland Salazar, who works in Conroe, was looking through his calendar for a suitable day to get married to his fiancée Cristina Barajas when he recognized the unique date. "I just thought it could be a lucky day for us," he said.
"We hadn't heard any of the buzz about people getting married before we decided to do this," Salazar said. "But we have sure heard a lot about it since we decided to do it."
While Salazar is hoping for good luck, he's not pushing his luck. "I suggested we go to Lake Charles to get married and do a little gambling," he laughed. "Cristina didn't think much of the idea."
While some put more stock in numerology and astrology than others, seven is considered by many to be the luckiest of numbers. It's associated with winning in Las Vegas. The biggest slot jackpots aren't offered for lining up cherries or lemons. The big payday is for a trio of sevens.
Seven is also a prime number that reoccurs throughout nature and culture: seven continents, seven seas, seven sins, Seven Wonders of the World, seven days a week. It's been considered a lucky number for a long time.
The lure of luck extends to engaged couples looking to start their marriages on solid footing. Even celebrity "Desperate Housewife" Eva Longoria and fiancé Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs are said to be planning a 7-7-7 wedding date.
"I hope they've confirmed their plans," said McDaniel. "A lot of places that typically do two weddings on a Saturday in July are trying to do four or five events to accommodate the demand. It's going to be hectic keeping everything straight."
Celebrity astrologer Maria Shaw warns couples that the day they hope will be lucky for them is not without its potential hazards. "It's a high energy day," she said, "but Mercury is in retrograde and that could spell trouble."
The problems Shaw alludes to are small, but frustrating possibilities. A cake delivered late, a limo breakdown or best man dropping the wedding ring."By July 10, the retrograde will pass," she said. "Until then, couples would be wise to double check all of the arrangements."While Shaw is supportive of July 7 as a good day in general astrological terms, individual factors should not be ignored. "A personalized chart that takes into account the bride and groom's personal information is a much more accurate assessment of the short and long term effects the couple can expect."For most, the 7-7-7 wedding is more a matter of whimsy than destiny. "It's just a fun thing for couples to do," said McDaniel. "The fact that it falls on a Saturday in July makes it all the more appealing."Certainly more than last year's lineup, according to McDaniel.
"June 6 of 2006 was a lot less appealing," she laughed. "Seems like 6-6-6 had a lot more negative impact on folks. I don't recall too many people getting worked up to secure that for their wedding."
With 666 being considered the sign of the beast in religious circles, the number often is associated with the devil and evil doings.
"It was not a popular wedding date," McDaniel added.
August 8, 2008 is equally unlikely to appeal to nuptial-bound couples, according to McDaniel. "I think this year is a really unique situation," she said. "And it's not likely to be repeated for a long, long time."
July 7, 2077 is indeed a long ways off. |

With Mother's Day right around the corner, here's a few ideas for gift ideas for mom based on her zodiac sign.....
Mom, Mother, Mama Mia!
Date: 2006-04-25 By: Maria Shaw
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, let’s examine and celebrate the different personality types of moms everywhere based on their zodiac sign. If you still haven’t thought of the perfect Mother’s Day gift, I’ll clue you in on some great ideas too!
Aries - The Aries mom is bold, daring, and likes to be in charge. She’s smart, sassy, and expects her kids to jump when she calls. She pushes her kids hard, and expects them to be competitive and the best at everything. She sets high standards for herself and expects nothing less of her family too. She loves to try new things, like the latest fashion fads. She’s a bit bossy, but as long as you follow her orders, life is grand! The Aries mom is a "take charge" type of woman whose inner strength cannot be denied.
Gift ideas: personalized jewelry and clothing; the latest fads and fashions
Taurus - The Taurus mom is dependable and hard-working. She is one of the most domesticated of all signs and works hard to give her kids a solid home base. She can be quite stubborn and once she makes her mind up, cannot be pushed to change it. She’s down to earth, logical and family oriented. She has a lot of patience but when she gets riled, watch out. This mom has quite a temper! She is money motivated and wants to make sure there’s always “enough” cash in her checkbook and rainy day account. This woman can spot a bargain a mile away and knows how to squeeze a dollar out of a dime.
Gift ideas: gift certificates, dining out, jewelry, homemade goodies, gift baskets
Gemini - This mom ages in reverse. She’s a kid at heart: fun loving, chatty and social. She loves a good time and often goes out of her way to make sure her kids are involved in lots of fun activities. The Gemini mom will talk your ear off, and she’ll love to go shopping with you. She wants to be your best friend. She’ll try anything once and is not afraid to learn new things. The Gemini will often have a desire to return to school at some point in her life. Sometimes she can be a little moody, but overall, she’s just plain fun!
Gift ideas: books, phone and gas cards, stationary and accessories, candy
Cancer - Moms born under the sign of Cancer are said to be the best at parenting. They can be overprotective however and a little bossy, but they are also nurturing, sentimental, emotional, and very loving. They would do anything for their children. They love being a mom. It comes natural for them and they are usually quite good at it. However, a Cancer mom doesn’t forget a thing. She has memory like an elephant. She’ll remember what you wore for your kindergarten graduation recital. She’ll recall your blind date’s last name, even though you’ve long forgot it. This mom tends to live a long life. She’ll be around a long time, and you can count on her for anything.
Gift ideas: personal photos, sentimental homemade gifts, antiques, a day spent together
Leo - This mom will dazzle you with her wonderful personality and charisma. She’ll win you over with her generous heart but she wants you to admire and respect her and yes, sometimes even put her on a pedestal. After all, she is the queen of the zodiac and expects to be treated as such. She would never let her children go without anything they might need. She fusses over them and brags to others about how wonderful they are. She can be a hard worker, wanting to give her kids all that money can buy. She also loves to treat her children to special experiences and travels, and sometimes she is generous to a fault. If you give this mom one hundred percent, she’ll top it by giving back one hundred fifty.
Gift ideas: anything 14k gold, pretty jewelry, colorful clothes, a trip to Las Vegas, or a day at a casino.
Virgo - Yes this mom can be fussy and nitpicky and always tell you what to do. Wear your coat outside. Bundle up. Take your vitamins. She cares...alot. She analyzes every little thing you do and probably sticks her nose in your business (although she would not admit it). She doesn’t mean to meddle but she loves you so much and wants your life to be perfect! Your date for the prom will never measure up to her standards. But who cares? She loves you and that’s her way of showing it: pushing you to be more, to reach the potential she sees in you. This mom does everything for everybody but seldom does she take time out for herself. She needs to be needed.
Gift ideas: a day at a spa, household gadgets to make her life easier, a nice watch.
Libra - If your mom is a Libra, she is probably funny, pretty, social and charming. She like peace and harmony and hates to fight. But if you push her too far, watch out! She can put up with a lot but once she blow she steam, run for cover! She believes in love and romance. She’s apt to be ladylike and nice to everyone, even the people she doesn’t like much. She can be a little indecisive and hates to be alone. She’ll probably want to live close to you when she grows old, so make sure you buy a comfy mother-in-law apartment.
Gift ideas: jewelry, perfume, shoes, purses
Scorpio - This mom seems very stern and serious at times, but she is a softie at heart. She has very intense emotions but seldom does she let anyone see how see really feels. She has a poker face and acts as if she couldn’t hurt a fly. But watch out, she’s a control freak! This is the woman who does have eyes in the back of her head, who knows your every move even if you are miles away. She’s a loyal, steadfast mom--someone you would want in your corner. She’s determined and strong. She’ll teach about using your inner strength and power. She’ll always be a bit of a mystery to you.
Gift ideas: scented candles, astrology readings, exotic tea and coffee gift basket, movie tickets
Sagittarius - Sporty, free-spirited and fun...these words all describe the Sagittarius mom. She’s likely got a positive personality and is a great conversationalist. She can be your best friend and your nurturing mama all rolled up into one pretty package. The Archer mom loves to travel and is always be on the “run” somewhere. She may not be the best housekeeper (I know mine wasn't) but everyone will always be welcome in her humble abode. This mom may also be one of your spiritual teachers as she pushes you to delve deep into the mysteries, philosophies, and meanings of life.
Gift ideas: books, concert tickets, stuff for her car, travel gift certificates, gym memberships
Capricorn - She can be stern, she can be strict..but the Capricorn mother is always reliable, dependable and a pillar of strength for her children. She is not a mushy, emotional-type mama--she’s more apt to be logical and strong willed. You know where you stand with her. She wants the best for her children, and will often push them into higher education and motivate them to excel at work. She can be demanding, but the pressure she put on her kids is to lovingly help them find their place in the world and be able to compete in today’s society. A strong family and old-fashioned values are important to this lady.
Gift ideas - designer or status-symbol items, practical gifts she can use around the home or office. Gift certificates to her favorite store.
Aquarius - This is a cool, funky, fun-loving mom. Some Aquarius moms can be a little eccentric. “Unique” is a good word used to describe them. These mamas want to save the world! They want to somehow make the world a better place in which to live. They are friendly and outgoing and usually belong to a number of groups. Aquarius moms love to have company over. Friendships are important to them. These moms will allow you to have a bit more freedom that other moms and encourage your self expression. Nothing surprises them. They can be strong-willed, but there’s never a dull moment.
Gift ideas: new gadgets and gizmos, anything to with computers or electronics, favorite CDs, donations to their favorite charity
Pisces - She can be sentimental and oh so sensitive. This dreamy mom loves her children very much but she worries about them very much too. She’s artistic and romantic, and she can cry at the drop of a hat. She loves getting lost in a good book or movie. However, the Pisces mom can be a little indecisive, and at times, a bit of a pushover. She feels guilty over the littlest of things. She loves to please people, but her kids usually come first in her book. She’s very psychic too, and intuitively knows her children’s needs and wants.
Gift ideas: romance novels, shoes (she loves shoes!), gourmet chocolates, satin pajamas
