ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

This month things are getting better.  The Pluto squaring Uranus is finishing as Uranus moves forward.  So if things have been a little heavy that will be lightening up more and more.  Do expect the unexpected as Uranus transiting in Aries means exciting or surprising things may manifest.  If you are young maybe expect the surprises.  If you are past your forties then expect a change for the better.   That does depend on your awareness, wisdom and compassion though.

Aries Buddhists love to be motivators.  I would recommend meditations on active expressions of love and compassion.  That means in the morning motivate with a loving heart and in the evening review your actions of the day.

TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month starts quietly as no planets are in Taurus and most other planets are not aspected strongly to you.   This will change by midmonth as the Sun, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus all move into Cancer, which is a beneficial aspect to Taurus.  Therefore coast peacefully in the first two weeks and let yourself get busy in the later two weeks.

Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical.  This month check your motive before you open the door and go outside.  That is a good thing to do irrespective of your astrological influences. 

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 is full of energy, love and presence.  The Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are in Gemini.  The first week is exciting as Uranus is well aspected to your Sun.  Come the later weeks though and the Sun will be well aspected to Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and Neptune.  So organize your plans in the first week and be altruistic in the last weeks.  It is called a grand kite those later aspects.  Quite auspicious.

Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet.  This month be mindful of useless energy expenditures.  The reason is you are busy with a lot of energy.  Your faith may be strong so be well motivated and you could accomplish a great many tasks.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
This month continues to be good and is the birthday month for you.  Don’t forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have.  They are the ones that gave you the gift of this rebirth, so thank them.  This month first Mercury and late Venus will be in Cancer.  That should mean a good month for you.  Be a little careful around the tenth of June as Uranus will square those two and you could be easily agitated.  Be mindful and peaceful and you will have no problems.  

Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings.  This month is a good time to focus on the Bodhicitta meditations.  You have astrological support, so don’t hesitate anymore.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
This month is quiet for you.  No planets directly in your Sun sign.  Therefore do as you wish and just be motivated in a clear minded manner.  Astrology is an influence but it is just that, only an influence.  Don’t overvalue it and loose the real focus of your life, the Dharma.

Leo Buddhists like to be motivators.  This month keep in mind your altruism.  It is a good time to be motivated by what you would like to see accomplished in the long term visions of your life.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

This month starts with some frustration.  The Sun in Gemini is square your sign.  Therefore go slowly and be mindful for the first week.  The last weeks of the month are more comfortable as the Sun, Mercury and Venus are well positioned to Virgo.  Therefore enjoy yourself more at that time and be helpful to everyone that you meet.

Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner.  This month be mindful and avoid impulsiveness.  Always balance enthusiasm with wisdom.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
This month is quiet for you.  No planets directly in your Sun sign.  What is nice is the Sun, Mars and Jupiter are well positioned to Libra.  That is beneficial and energizing to you.  Therefore do as you wish and just be motivated in a clear minded manner.  Astrology is an influence but it is just that, only an influence.  Don’t overvalue it and loose the real focus of your life, the Dharma. 

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 Saturn sits comfortably in Scorpio and that is great for being more contemplative.   What is nice is Mercury, Venus and Neptune are well aspected in the first week and the Sun and Jupiter with Neptune in the last weeks.  Therefore meditate more on the meaning of your life and turn your feelings to more altruistic goals.    

Scorpio Buddhists are passionate.  This month follow your positive desires.  Just be mindful of what you are doing as desires can be problematic if you run with them too quickly.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
This month you have no direct influences to your Sun sign.  What you do have is the Sun and Mars opposite your sign.  That can make you feel scattered.  Do quietude meditations and focus on what is at hand.  Don’t speculate on things you can’t yet see in front of you.  That way you avoid the negative influence of these astrological positions.

Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals.  This month organize your feelings to help clarify your motivation.  A clear minded motivation solves many problems.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

This month Pluto is slowly moving through Capricorn.  That means deeper feelings are being generated in you.  What is slightly complicating for you is a Uranus square.  Thus you may be moody about things you don't like.  What is good is the square is diminishing and so this will be less and less of a problem for you.  Be a little careful in the last 10 days though as the Sun and Jupiter run in opposition to Pluto and you may feel more intense than normal.  This is because those planets motive you and so intensity comes to the surface.

Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions.  This month be mindful and slow down before you act.  Think about your actions to clarify your motive and your goals.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
This month is quiet for you.  No planets directly in your Sun sign.  What is nice is the Sun, Mars and Jupiter are well positioned to Aquarius.  That is beneficial and energizing to you.  Therefore do as you wish and just be motivated in a clear minded manner.  Astrology is an influence but it is just that, only an influence.  Don’t overvalue it and loose the real focus of your life, the Dharma.

Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings.  This month allow your imagination to work to your advantage.  Let things unfold but don’t try to control the process.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
You are still a spiritual and visionary center for the universe as Neptune is in your sign for ages.  Be a little careful as Mars is square Neptune in the first week.  That can mean you have misguided intuition.   So double check your activities before you jump into something inappropriately.  Your intuition will be more accurate in the last two weeks as the Sun and Jupiter will be well aspected to Neptune at that time.   

Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective.  This month there is lots of energy but it does not sit well inside of you.  Slow down and learn how to let energy flow through you without grasping hold of it all the time.
