ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

This month you are indirectly blessed with planets in other areas.  This means support from a distance with spiritual insights.  The spiritual insights are from Uranus just entering your Sign.  That can mean sudden epiphanies.  This is greatly increased with Jupiter just behind Uranus and Saturn in opposition.  Very interesting time.  Keep your eyes and mind open for new growth.

Aries Buddhists love to be motivators.  If you think of yourself as too independent you may fail in your projects.  Remember we are fully interdependent with the world.

TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month Mercury runs in Taurus.  So intellectual pursuits are affecting you.   None of these have to be problematic.  If you have a positive mind with beneficial and good intentions then all activities can create positive karma.  Granted discussion may become a worldly activity unless you do it out of good intentions. 

Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical.  This month look at your own face to see the blemishes.  Don’t look at others, that is too easy and never benefits anyone unless you have strong empathetic compassion.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
This month is the birthday month.  Don’t forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have.  Even if they have passed away, do some meditation and send the good energy to them in their new rebirth.  The month starts with great intuition and that will continue for the whole thirty days.  Neptune runs positively aspected to the Sun and your Sign.  Strong feelings could come in the last 10 days as the Sun runs opposite Pluto.  This is good for faith and dedication.  Just be careful about being overly adamant about your wishes.  

Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet.  This month be mindful of useless energy expenditures until the second week.  Then do as you please.  Your faith may be strong so be clearly motivated and you could accomplish a great many tasks.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
This month is the birthday month.  Don’t forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have.  Even if they have passed away, do some meditation and send the good energy to them in their new rebirth.  This month continues to be good.  Venus runs in your Sign and is supportively positioned with Mercury.  The power you had last month is less (from the astrological side of things) but the ability to work well is still there.  

Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings.  This month is a good time to focus on jobs that need to be done.  You have astrological support to be affectionate and to think clearly about things, so don’t hesitate anymore.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
This month you are a powerhouse of energy.  Mars helps you for the first week to make you feel very able.  Be careful of being overly intense about your wishes.  The reason is you are determined and able so that power needs sensitivity and balance to be utilized properly.  Balance is the key issue in life.  Keep in place your bodhisattva balance between samsara and nirvana.   

Leo Buddhists like to be motivators.  This month keep in mind your altruism and vision for life.  It is a good time to be motivated by what you would like to see accomplished on a large scale, not personal business.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

This month starts with strength in the second week when Mars enters your sign.  Therefore be happy and do good deeds and collect positive karma.  We all need a huge bank account of positive karma.  That good energy helps facilitate all our actions, whether worldly or divine.  This is increased in the last weeks of June as Mars is positively positioned with Pluto, thus will power and deep feelings harmonize.

Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner.  This month your energy is released and free.  Be mindful to not be impulsive.  Always balance enthusiasm with wisdom.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
This month there is support from a distance.  The Sun, Neptune, Mars and Mercury all help from their positions around the zodiac.  You may have some good insights because Neptune is well positioned.  Basically go slowly and be positive.  Things will work out just fine. 

Libra Buddhists keep life in balance.  This month be mindful, positive and helpful.  Qualities that are easy for a Libra Sun.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
This month you are full of intellectual inquiry.  Mercury is directly opposite your sign for the first two weeks of the month.  Therefore be inquisitive but avoid expectations.  Understanding situations is good but having expectations about life is problematic.  Just be insightful and supportive to those around you.    

Scorpio Buddhists are passionate.  This month follow your positive desires.  Just be mindful of what you are doing as a judgmental attitude can be problematic if you view things negatively.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
This month you have the Sun and Mercury running in opposition to your sign.  That means your desires and ideas are strong but you feel they take you too far afield.  Midmonth this will die down for you but at the start of the month do some quietude meditation to keep your mind in check.  Ideas are important as long as they don’t agitate you unduly.

Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals.  This month organize your mind.  If you forget your motive you may become confused.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

This month you have Pluto stimulating deep feelings and faith.  Therefore be happy, do good deeds and collect positive karma.  We all need a huge bank account of positive karma.  That good energy helps facilitate all our actions, whether worldly or divine.  By June 20th be more careful of your motivation.  The Sun will run opposite Pluto and this could cause agitation.  Be mindful and you remove all types of interference.

Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions.  This month be mindful and slow down in the first few moments of any action.  Think about your actions first, don’t be impulsive.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
You are still a spiritual and visionary center for the universe as Neptune is in your sign for ages. This will be coming to a conclusion though within a few years so take advantage of this positive time.   This month you are daydreaming more in the last ten days of the month.  This is because of an aspect with the Sun.  The ideas are nice but the reality is far away.   On a personal level your visions can be beneficial for you.  Bodhicitta meditations are a good choice.

Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings.  This month you are social.  You want to help others but you may be motivated by an illusion.  Let things unfold and don’t try to control samsara, it seldom works out the way we expect.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
This month you are inspired as Jupiter and Uranus are well aspected.  Saturn adds a strong aspect though and so be careful of being judgmental.  We can follow the wise words of Lama Yeshe, “Slowly, slowly.”    It is a good month, just slow down.

Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective.  This month there is lots of energy but it may agitate you.  Slow down and learn how to let energy flow through you without grasping hold of it.
