Introduction
This report is based on a positive vision of world peace, and the belief that each individual has the potential within to make a significant contribution to world peace. The basis of inner peace is self-esteem and self-knowledge, and when enough individuals are self-aware, they will act in accordance with natural laws to promote harmony around them, and the result will be world peace.
Good will win out over evil, and the goodness within yourself will manifest through your individual personality. This report is designed to draw your attention to your potential, your unique opportunities for expressing it, and your ability to bring about harmony around you. Some of your ability is based on gifts which you already have, which are easy for you to draw upon. You also have the willpower to dissolve any blockages which may be standing in the way of your clear vision of the possibilities of harmony and peace. Start with a positive attitude, and you will be favorably surprised at what you can achieve and what you can overcome. Love yourself, and you are already creating world peace.
Each person's astrological chart maps out a divinely created plan for that individual. It tells what you were put on this earth to do. You can learn what your own, unique mission is and then you can rejoice in carrying it out. The utmost good which you can imagine can become your reality. Then you can spread the good news to others and awaken them to their own, inner Light. All persons are created from the divine, and we are moving back to the divine. Life is a celebration of both our common awareness of the Light and our God-given birthright to an individual identity which is uniquely ours and which, when fully realized, will shine as its own Light and harmonize with all the other Lights on the planet. It will be like the vivid and beautiful colours of the spectrum all merging into White Light, and then radiating from the souls of all individuals at once.
Astrology is the study of the Astral Plane. The Astral Plane is the link between the everyday world of the manifested, Physical Plane and our higher planes of awareness, from which we can draw insight into how to improve our affairs in the physical realm. If we perceive a problem in the everyday world, such as a lack of peace, we cannot always solve it on that level, because the everyday world is made up of opposing polarities. We need to rise above the physical plane to see that these opposites are reconcilable. For example, if one person is male and another is female, they appear on the surface to be of opposite polarities but on the higher level, they are both human; they can communicate with each other; and they can enjoy working together for their common benefit.
Each individual has opposing polarities too, such as a right side and a left side, but through the higher awareness of our brains we get our two sides working together. Our brain has two hemispheres: The left hemisphere is responsible for logical thought and governs the right side of our body. The right hemisphere is responsible for creative, lateral thinking and rules the left side of our body. When we operate "from centre" - that is, when our higher brain gets our logical thought and our creative thought to work together harmoniously - then we come up with our best, most creatively intelligent output. When we use our full potential, when we know whom we are and believe in ourselves, then we create maximum harmony with those around us and, on the transpersonal level, we come up with our best solutions for world peace.
On the astral level each individual has command of both polarities. For example, we each have a Sun sign and a Moon sign. We also each have a Venus and a Mars sign, regardless of whether we are male or female on the physical plane. So, if we tune into whom we are astrologically, we begin to reach a level of awareness where we have transcended the polarities of the physical plane. We can see how we are each an embodiment of the harmonious balancing of polarities. We are born with this unity already in place. We just need to know how to use our Sun sign and our Moon sign, and our other planets, to our best advantage in our daily lives, so that by being our true selves, we will be bringing about peace.
Each person's method of using his or her Sun and Moon signs, and other planets, will be different, because we were each born at a different time and place on the Earth, where we're influenced by different combinations of influences by the other planets. On this astral plane, some of us will be contributing a more masculine interpretation of solar energy (if our Sun is in a fire or air sign) and the rest of us will be showing the world a more feminine way of looking at the Sun (if our Sun is in an earth or water sign). Also, depending on our Moon sign, we will each have our own way of interpreting the Moon's type of energy and, in our mission on Earth, we will be contributing this much-needed awareness to our own planet's evolution. We are all important, and we are all here to be ourselves, at our highest possible level of understanding. We are here to help our planet achieve its divine purpose, and to do so is perfectly natural to us.
Just as there are particular points of strength and prominence in your astrological chart, there are strategic points on the Earth's surface for the achievement of world peace. For example, this Report is being written in the city of Toronto which, along with London and Los Angeles, are important world energy centres (or chakras) for the development of international understanding. London is the world centre for intelligence and Los Angeles is the world centre for creativity. Toronto is the centre for unity, or creative intelligence, or the resolution of polarities. The name "Toronto" means "meeting place" in native Indian. Therefore, it is part of the mission of those who are familiar with the earth energy of Toronto to spread to the rest of the world the message that polarities can be resolved and peace can be created.
My message as an astrologer to you is: Whatever day you were born on is divinely significant. Your birth data can be the key to your realizing how important your presence in the world is. Each person is uniquely important. Within each other person we can see our own, divine essence mirrored, because what we have in common is our potential to bring out the very best in ourselves and each other.
On the day that I decided to write the World Peace Report and I began writing it, October 17,2002, there were many trine aspects, which confers harmony. I hope that your World Peace Report helps you to fully develop your potential for contributing to world peace and harmony.
Chapter 1: Rising Sign
Ascendant in Sagittarius:
Your outward personality, through which your Inner Light and all of the various planetary influences in your chart are expressed, is optimistic, generous and enthusiastic. Others would be drawn to you for positive inspiration to help them rise above their earthly problems. Your faith and your ability to see the bigger picture would inspire them to have a better philosophical outlook themselves, and to transcend the blockages standing in the way of their vision of peace.
Chapter 2: The Sun
Sun in Cancer:
Because you are a natural nurturer and protector of your family, it is important that you receive enough nurturing yourself. Train your mind to have positive expectations about the world around you, and avoid negative news stories and people who are depressed, so that your own mood will become elevated. You have the right and the responsibility to take good care of yourself, and if you do, you will have much to offer your family and harmonious families are the basis of a harmonious world. Seek out caring people who are active in protecting nature and the environment. Associate with positive, nurturing people. Take care of your emotions and find positive outlets, so that your natural creativity will flow. Know that you are secure and that all will be well.
Sun in the 7th house:
What a great combination for a dynamic peacemaker! You are a natural leader in inspiring people to settle their differences and get along happily together. Your own self-confidence in the area of relationships ensures that any peace agreement which you help others to make will take into account their positive strengths, and not just be limiting compromises or one-sided arrangements. You could work as a marriage counsellor, mediator or peace leader. Show others by your example how they can create peace and harmony for themselves.
Sun Opposition Moon:
Your parents would have been very different people from each other and, as a result, you would need to do some conscious work to harmonize the left-brain and right-brain polarities within your own personality. However, you have already had a whole lifetime of learning how to cope with differences and resolve them and you would have the potential for greater insights into how to create world peace than most people. Work on developing whichever side of your personality needs more attention, whether it be your ego or your emotions, and then make your mark on the world.
Sun Opposition Jupiter:
The Sun and Jupiter are both very dynamic, fiery energies and you need to learn to get them to work together, so that if you assert one, the other one will not just be wasted. The trick is to realize that both of these energies come from a common, inner source. If your actions are inspired by this source, which rises above polar opposites, the result will be harmonious action. So, what you need to do is to transcend the level of ego-attachment and self-indulgence and remember that you were given all of this energy to do something good with it. You can be a great leader in uplifting other people who are in need of your generosity and goodwill. Empathize with them, and you will see how you can help them.
Chapter 3: The Moon
Moon in Capricorn:
You are able to bring peace into a situation because you do not get carried away with your emotions. You are good at helping others to see things logically, so that they, too, can work to bring peace out of chaos. You are able to turn a crisis into a situation where everyone has a set job to do, in order to restore order. You would teach your children that a peaceful society can be created if everyone has respect for themselves and others, and you would set a good example for them.
Moon in the 1st house:
As your self-expression is strongly influenced by our subconscious mind, the more you do subconscious clearing exercises, the more your self-expression will be peaceful. In particular, become aware of how your early childhood experiences have influenced your self-image and seek to clear any blockages or negative core beliefs, so that you can be your true, happy, positive self. The better your self-image, the more your everyday, emotional reactions to what goes on around you will be harmonious and constructive, and you will have a new self-confidence in your experiences with others.
Moon Conjunct Jupiter:
You are very caring and generous, both to your own people and people from other lands. You would enjoy learning about the beliefs and practises of other cultures and then applying them to help your own people, because you know that it does not matter where an idea comes from, as long as it is a good idea. You would be equally open-hearted about sharing your own culture's knowledge with persons of other cultures, and you would find a mutual, nurturing bond with them.
Chapter 4: Mercury
Mercury in Cancer:
Your thoughts are about protecting your family, your children and your heritage. Cultivate positive thinking, rather than fear or insecurity, so that you will be effective in protecting those whom you love rather than just having negative feelings about those outside of your own, close-knit, little group. Communicate with your children and know that the loving thoughts which you convey to them will go a long way towards teaching them how to create a peaceful, secure society.
Mercury in the 8th house:
You are often involved with secret communications, and you could use this aptitude to regenerate communication behind the scenes with those who may have become alienated from the peace process. You would also be good at investigating any financial motives which might be standing in the way of honest peace negotiations. You are able to speak in a way which really reaches people at a deeper level, and you could convince them to overcome their apathy and indecisiveness.
Mercury Conjunct Mars:
You would be an excellent debater, who could bring out the reasons why peace is the only logical alternative. You could write articles on the subject or give lectures. You are good at ensuring that people mean what they say and that they are willing to put their words into action. You would have skill as a reporter or researcher, as you would be able to bring out the facts and inform the readers.
Mercury Sextile Pluto:
You have a talent for expressing yourself in a positive, intense way which will have a profound effect on others. You understand the importance of the choice of words used by the mass media in affecting world peace and, if you were a news reporter, you would use the right words. You are good at investigating the real causes of the events which occur and, if you discovered any underlying blockages to world peace, you could communicate them in a positive way to others effectively.
Chapter 5: Venus
Venus in Gemini:
You are able to relate to others on a very high intellectual level and, in this way you can help them to transcend their difference. By encouraging others to become educated and open up their minds, you are teaching them to be more tolerant and patient with one another and to look for what they have in common. Your sociability and good communication skills bring out the best in others. Get the education which you need and enjoy, so that you will be functioning at your highest possible mental potential.
Venus in the 7th house:
What a wonderful combination for a negotiator of peace! Venus rules peace, and it also rules the sign of Libra. You are likely to marry young and have a very happy marriage. You are kind, considerate, loving, fair, and just. You would excel as a mediator, marriage counsellor or public relations person. You need harmony and beauty. Develop your natural relationship skills to the utmost, and you will make a valuable contribution to the world.
Chapter 6: Mars
Mars in Cancer:
You have a positive drive to protect your own family and culture. Provided that you cultivate a good sense of self-worth, you will be very successful at this and will get along peacefully with others. As long as you listen to your own emotional needs and nurture yourself, you will remember that others have their own families and their own cultures, which are important to them, and you will work together with others to protect all families and all cultures. You are sensitive to the need to preserve nature and the environment, and you might find a way to combine this interest with the goal of world peace.
Mars in the 8th house:
You have unusual courage in facing the largest barriers to world peace and bringing about change on a mass scale. You could tackle the problems of financial greed, media propaganda, secret weapons, or needless killings, and make a real difference in getting people to rise above behaviours which work against genuine, peaceful cooperation. You could promote meditation as a way for deep stresses to be released peacefully and harmlessly and, if enough people meditated, the world consciousness would rise to a higher level.
Mars Trine Neptune:
You have a special gift for being able to channel in healing, compassionate energy from the higher realms and using it to uplift individuals and the planet as a whole. Remember that you were meant to use this gift to help others, and do not take it for granted. Keep your subconscious mind clear of any impure substances and neutralize any past, emotional hurts, so that you will be a clear channel for the greater good to manifest.
Mars Sextile Pluto:
Mars rules immediate, physical actions and Pluto rules the ultimate spiritual destiny of purpose of the solar system. The sextile aspect rules peace, because it is ruled by Venus. You have a rare capability to take positive actions for peace which will have their effect at the mass level. You could do this through leading world peace meditations, performing feats of strength at the Olympics, or some other intense involvement, as indicated by the rest of your chart. Know that you have intensely powerful energies, and use them for the greatest good.
Chapter 7: Jupiter and Saturn
Jupiter in Capricorn:
You can be trusted for your great honesty and integrity, and are likely to rise to an important position in government or business. You can use this position to ensure that decisions are made which are of the wisest, most responsible nature, so that peace, order and understanding will be upheld. You probably come from an upright, religious family where you learned these good values, and that is why you are able to set such a good example for others.
Jupiter in the 1st house:
You have a rare talent for uplifting the spirits of others and encouraging them to believe that everything will turn out well. You are likely to become quite an expert on the religions of the world. You could convince others that it does not matter which religion they believe in; the important thing is that they put the highest ideals of their religion into practise. This will benefit all people on the planet.
Jupiter Square Pluto:
You have a great deal of faith and goodwill, and the challenge facing you is how to get this higher, spiritual awareness to the masses. However, you have the willpower and the ability to put your beliefs into action. You could help bring about a tremendous regeneration of positive thinking about peace on a mass level, because of your determination to reach people with the message of the ultimate, peaceful purpose of Creation. You could get people to believe that, if they live good lives, they can turn the planet around and fulfil their intended, spiritual destiny.
Saturn in Gemini:
You would have good ability in any peaceful negotiations because you choose your words very carefully, so as to communicate exactly what you mean to say. You have a disciplined way of thinking which would enable you to remain detached and not get caught up in the emotions of the moment. You could undertake a serious study of other languages, which would help you to communicate effectively with persons in other countries.
Saturn in the 6th house:
You are very down-to-earth, practical and hard-working, and you would set a good example of maintaining peace in any crisis, because you would not get carried away with your emotions. Instead, you would be taking constructive, preventable action. You would be able to apply first-aid or other medical help in a detached, professional manner, and you would be encouraging others to analyze the situation and determine how they, too, could help.
Saturn Trine Uranus:
You have a very organized approach to introducing new, innovative ideas which appeals to others. You are aware that, although there needs to be structure, it should come from natural laws and an understanding of karma, rather than just arbitrary rules and restrictions from the past. You could achieve a great deal for world peace by working with a group of responsible, enlightened, spiritually conscious individuals.
Chapter 8: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
Uranus in Libra:
What a wonderful combination for working on the cause of peace! Uranus gives you a sense of tolerance of all persons and of the Universal Light within all of us. Libra gives you a sense of justice and equality. The result is that you have an unusual ability to get people to come together and discuss their differences peacefully. You work on the highest mental level, and you very agreeably raise others' aspirations to the highest ideals of peace.
Uranus in the 10th house:
Because of your higher, intuitive insights, you would be able to introduce new ideas into politics which would allow for greater tolerance and humanitarian values. You may choose a career in computers, where you could reach others with your new, inventive ideas in a very acceptable way. You are able to encourage positive changes in such a way that others of more traditional lifestyles can accept them.
Neptune in Sagittarius:
You were born into a generation of people who were capable of great spiritual insights and actions. There was generosity towards those in need; meditation on the greatest prosperity on all levels of awareness; and spiritual channelling as to how to uplift the planet to a higher cosmic plane. These insights provided an inspiring vision for the future, so that the optimism would carry people through more challenging times and allow them to keep bringing in the Light.
Neptune in the 12th house:
You are very receptive to others in a compassionate way, and you set a good example of giving rather than taking. You are likely to have psychic ability and to be able to tune in to the highest, most subtle, healing vibrations. You could help those in need by sending them light telepathically. You would care about the poor and the disadvantaged and be able to convey sympathy and caring to them through charitable, selfless acts.
Neptune Sextile Pluto:
You were born into an age when there was a subtle awareness that world peace could be created if individuals chose in large enough numbers to treat one another with compassion and kindness. There were many spiritual visions of peace, which appeared in music, art and mass communication. The knowledge of how to bring about peace was there, but it needed to be brought down into the physical plane of actual action, for there to be enough love and spiritual regeneration in everyday life. The willpower was needed to overcome addictions and material attachments, in order to make the wisest use of the readily available, profound, channelled, higher insights.
Pluto in Virgo:
You were born at a time when holistic health care became popular, and individuals took control of their own physical, emotional and spiritual health. Transformational health techniques from around the world were explored and practised. This trend set the stage for individuals realizing that, if they could heal themselves, they could also heal the planet. There were also great advances in world health care, such as individuals helping others in different countries to enjoy better health and to have more say in the health matters which affected them.
Pluto in the 10th house:
You are likely to be in contact with very powerful and influential people, and you have the opportunity to introduce to them the ideas which are needed to transform the existing structure into a positive vehicle for peace. You may hold an important position yourself and, if so, you would be able to set such a positive example of honesty, trust and dependability that others would be amazed and follow your lead. With your strong willpower and steadiness, you could lead others through a crisis to a profound understanding and spiritual awakening.
Conclusion
This report on World Peace is best utilized by those who are ready to go ahead and make a positive contribution to the world. If you find that you need to feel more secure as an individual first, before taking on the task of helping to change the world, then you may find that the Personal Security Report is more suited to your needs. The Personal Security Report addresses the issue of preventing negative outcomes. The World Peace Report takes the next step and focuses on how to manifest positive outcomes. The Personal Security Report is about undoing past karma, and the World Peace Report is about creating good karma for the future.
The outlook for world peace in the 21st century is very positive. If Ralph Bunche were able to bring about a truce in 1949, think of what many individuals working together could achieve now! He was working under pressure, but there are many persons now who are able to reflect on peaceful solutions without being under pressure. There are new technologies such as computers which can be used to bring people together. The concept of a unified world is more acceptable nowadays in people's minds and, therefore, easier to achieve. Yes, the tensions in the world may appear to be more obvious now, but that reflects the healthy process of the world's past karma unravelling, in order to pave the way for a positive, enlightened future. The World Peace Report is designed to help you discover the ways in which you can participate and contribute to world peace in this century where there is so much potential for all of us to assist in this very important endeavor.
