An Astrology of Peace

Peacemakers come in as many varieties as there are people. On this holiday weekend, I decided to have a look at how different signs go about making peace. Try this.

Aries  
            Their key phrase is I am.
            I am committed to making peace wherever I go.
Taurus
            Their key phrase is I have.
            I have a commitment to make peace with everyone.
Gemini
            Their key phrase is I think.
            I think the thoughts of a peacemaker.
Cancer
            Their key phrase is I feel.
            I feel that peacemaking is the most important thing I do.
Leo
            Their key phrase is I will.
            I will to make peace on earth.
Virgo
            Their key phrase is I analyze.
            I analyze and teach the ideas that make for peace.
Libra
            Their key phrase is I balance.
            I balance my life to make peace for myself and others.
Scorpio
            Their key phrase is I desire.
            I desire to make peace above all things.
Sagittarius
            Their key phrase is I understand.
            I understand the peacemaking process.
Capricorn
            Their key phrase is I use.

            I know how to make peace and I do it.
Pisces
            Their key phrase is I believe.

This could be viewed as an exercise in frivolity, but take a moment to think again. Peace is different for each one of us. We all want peace, it

A smile from this article. And good food for thought: many different perspectives focused on a single goal. (Anne Thomas, Japan)

I'm a Gemini and am definitely a thinker. Does that make me a passive peacemaker since I take no action? Hmmm...I ^<i^>think so.

Hi Susan, I always enjoy your blogs. I was trying to guess your sign... are you a Cancer?
