I Met Peace Pilgrim and Astrology

This is the peace pilgrim. She began walking in 1953, and continued to walk until her death in 1981 to promote her cause of world peace. He is twenty eight years old.

She walked more than 25,000 miles in the US and Canada and said she would eat when someone offered her food and would sleep on her bed.

Henry admired him. He really respected her, so when she passed by our town, it was a big event. Plans were made to meet him and shake hands with him.

The day has come. I was about seven years old, and we drove from the desert to the city and stood by the side of the road in the hot sun to wait for him to come up the hill. We were going to intercept him.

Twenty minutes passed and he didn’t show up. Henry was in agony that she must have passed and we would miss her, but then she came into sight. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my grandfather so overwhelmed with emotion. She was his pope.

“There she is! There she is!” he said, excitedly.

I must say, she was awesome. She really looked like a vision. She was a moving force and was moving fast along the way. She wasn’t kidding about walking down the street.

Henry had a bottle of water, and I had three bananas. She stopped, nodded at us and said “good day”. He took a water bottle from her and drank from it before giving it back. I handed him the bananas and he tore one and gave them back. “That’s a lot, baby. Peace,” she said.

She left at the same speed, waving one hand, but there was no looking back. I watched him walk away, stunned and mesmerized, reading on the back of his shirt, “10,000 miles to peace”.

Henry said, “She’s a wonderful woman, walking like that.”

We got in the truck and went home.

Here is a quote from an interview with Shanti Pilgrim regarding astrology:

Q: How old are you?

A: Many people on my pilgrimage route asked my age. I told him that I did not know my age and did not intend to find out. I know my date of birth. It lives on the edge of my memory, but I won’t reveal it. What purpose will it serve? Many have even tried to guess my old name. The most interesting guess was that I am Amelia Earhart. I am very grateful that age has gone out of my mind now. By the time I counted birthdays and started thinking about growing up, I was getting old. Age is a state of mind, and I consider myself to be young. And this is my advice to others. Get as old as you can and then stop producing age.

I never give my money either. Do you honestly think I could be pushed around by a planet? Good sky, your divine nature is always free—it is only your self-centred nature that is not free. I have two reasons for not giving my sign. One is that an enterprising astrologer can work out my horoscope, and what a waste of time that would be. And if I had known the time of my birth, I would have been as tempted by birthday cards as I am now filled with Christmas cards, and I would have to take two weeks off each year to answer them.

Shanti Pilgrim was born on July 18, 1908 with a stellium in Cancer.

Scorpio daily horoscope – 31 May 2022

The energy around you is in tune with a lot of emotions and it’s all for the power of tomorrow’s new moon, and it will continue to act on you and affect your emotions and your heartbeat in the weeks to come. You have a remarkable ability, in the best of times, to pluck the depths of your and other people’s feelings. But still more because of the intensity of what is happening internally and externally. If your emotions are telling you that you feel that way, there’s no such thing as too intense for you today, but you can still keep a lid on it if you have to. What superpower is your moon revealing? Do you know that with the appearance of the moon we can make our dreams come true? I know because I’ve been doing it for 20+ years and the proof is now irrefutable. Sure, there are challenges but it’s fun and part of the process. But we all have different style. So take my free quiz here to find out your moon reveal style.

Mercury has entered its shadow zone on the 25th of Virgo – to look back and complete our transformation into Libra and Virgo

The shadow region is defined by the period where a planet turns retrograde, and where it goes directly after the retrograde period. In this case, Mercury turns retrograde on 9th September into Libra. It will retrograde back to the 25th of Virgo, where it stabilizes directly on 2nd October, the birthdays of Mahatma Gandhi and Groucho Marx. It casts a shadow zone between 25 Virgo and 9 Libra, and on August 21 Mercury enters 25 Virgo, the degree where it will go SD in early October. I will be writing some articles about the upcoming retrograde which will be posted as we get closer. So now we begin an 8-week round of three phases on the first 9 degrees of Libra and the last 6 degrees of Virgo. We will have old Virgo and Libra returns related to people and events that affected our lives in the past. It would be “looking back” in memory of past work and partners, past service and the people we once looked up to as equals. It brings up memories of former Virgo and Libra experiences so that...
