Peace and Harmony for the Holidays (and other times)

Sometimes what we are really after is peace and harmony.

If you use the free tarot readings on www.tarot.com, you will have noticed that the categories are romance, Celtic cross, and then "peace and harmony."

Here is a beautiful site if you'd like to pledge some time to building peace: http://www.pledgepeace.org/

The site is Catholic-oriented, but the 'work' will suit any work done by you, through Spitit, peace. Here are some of their suggestions:

I pledge to bring comforting messages of peace to the mentally ill.

I will walk with peace in my heart.

I will stop gossiping with my friends.

I will choose something to love in those with whom I have a grievance.

I will try to understand people of other nations.

I will not fight with my brother.

I will find music that soothes me and listen to it.

I will greet every situation with an open heart.

I will learn how to express my anger in helpful, not hurtful, ways.

WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND THAT GIVES YOU THE FEELING OF WORKING WITH PEACE?

Here are some suggestions by astrological sign:

Aries: Consciously allowing someone else to be right at some time.
Project: Say to someone: I am not here to fight.

Leo: Removing arrogant judgement from the repertoire.
Project: Suspend judgement. Be the high side of your sing: magnanimous.

Virgo: Stop nit picking!
Project. Learn to see and embrace the Big Picure. Diry socks on the floor don't maketter. Lying to a loved one, does.

Libra: Contemplating the scales of justice can be the source of altercation..
Project: Take a stand, a compassionate one. It sends a message.

Sagittarius: The 'truth' is relative and can be used to crucify other people.
Project: Before you send the arrow, put honey on the tip. Truth is of little use in human relations.

Taurus: Irrational, unmindful sutbbornness causes conflict and discontent.
Project: Discipline yourself to ignore some of the "red flags" raised in your face. You have a choice, you know. Choose peace.

Cancer: You can make your home extended - to your social group, your office, your in-laws.
Project: Great 'homemakers' that you are, extend your definitions and boundaries. Understand that a home means something different to each person, each culture.

Scorpio: Distinguish between courage and false bravado.
Project: Learn to choose your battles, and lose some of them, in order to Win the War (for peaceful). Eerything does not have to be a "10."

Gemini: The great communicators. Use it for peace.
Project: Don't let the nervousness get in the way of the message. It's not what you say, it's how you say it, and if you sound nervous, you create agitation, not peace. The request stated timidly will be refused. Worry creates the thing that you fear. It's the Law of Attraction.

Aquarius: Loving all mankind is a useless "concept" and your drive for individuality is innatelt devisive.
Project: Dare to love (in action) the person in front of you, the one that's driving you nuts. And reach to the hard-won place where you know you are just like everyone else.

Capricorn: Innately classy, but that's hierarchical.
Peoject: Get off the cliff, get off your hooves and join the rest of us. You have much to contribute on lower ground.

Pisces: The healing sign.
Project: Learn to swim with a school. Then you will have support and guidance, which brings peace.
