 by Crystal Pomeroy March New Moon—the Piscean portion of the Age of Aquarius. Maya has pointed to influences which converge during this Pisces Moon and Sun cycles to emphasize the savvy and the loving side of the Age of Aquarius, as its ruler, Uranus, also moves into the softening sign of Pisces. The globally shared dream of peace is creating an impersonal, but unifying and deeply felt spiritual network that carries the Aquarian ideals beyond the intellectual plane, into the emotional ocean of the twelfth sign. This New Moon culminates the seed energy of the worldwide call for inner and outer peace which is part of the age we are honoured to participate in. Pallas Athena, also joining this dynamic line-up in Pisces, can give us the strategic sense to ground those inspirations—Mercury in Pisces brings the tools of written reflections and the spoken word into the process. The Sabian degree of the New Moon, as described by Maya, accentuates the role of the will power which is required to carry out our strategies, and consolidate our creations, for personal and planetary peace and prosperity. By aligning ourselves consciously with these intentions now, we can help contribute to the positive potential inherent in this Moon Cycle, and avoid its possible pitfalls as indicated by the upcoming Full Moon’s Sabian Symbol, which also mentions the power of will, adding that it can either be, "human, divine or satanic." What attitudes and actions can you think of that will contribute to personal and planetary peace? What creative projects and endeavours related to peace have you been toying with? Now is the time to align your free will, in all the glory of its determination and perseverance, with those energies and archetypes now at play in the collective pool of possibilities that are favourable, that will carry you and the Earth on which you live into the higher vibration of the Age of Aquarius. The following exercises and prayers are designed to facilitate that process. As we use them, we do well to remember that outer peace can only manifest to the degree to which we vibrate in peace from within. The National Representative of Buddhism in Mexico, Zen Monk Teshin Sanderson (who is my teacher in this discipline), recently participated in an interfaith prayer gathering outside of the American Embassy here. Later, he shared some poignant memories on the subject. Teshin was a protester during the Vietnam war. His father told him, however, that Teshin was incongruent with his own pacifist ideals, being, as he was, bristling with anger and with the certainty of his own righteousness. Our monk confessed that he later saw that it was true, he had only been a pacifist in the ideological sense. PRAYERFUL REFLECTIONS TO CREATE AND STRATEGIZE FOR PEACE Part I.
