April 2021
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
The month is powerful with spring energy and your birthday. Think about honoring your parents this birthday instead of expecting presents from them. They gave you a body, so say thank you to them for the rebirth you currently enjoy. As for planetary influences, the Sun, and Venus start the month by inspiring you. That means love, affection and pleasure are on your side. The downside is Pluto will square both just after the first week. You many feel strong mood swings during this time. If you enjoy passion, it will be a good transit, if you wish to be peaceful, do more quietude meditation with detachment. Remembering this is samsara will help lessen the effect. It only lasts for a brief time though, so do not worry. Mindfulness and wisdom solves most problems.
Aries Buddhists are motivators. This month think about your actions before you do them. You have a lot of energy so adding intelligence only guarantees success.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
The month is powerful with spring energy and your birthday. Think about honoring your parents this birthday instead of expecting presents from them. They gave you a body, so say thank you to them for the rebirth you currently enjoy. As for planetary influences, you will have a very vigorous month. The Sun, Venus, Uranus, and Mercury will bless you in the last two weeks. During all this time you have Saturn square to all four of them. That means a strong desire to accomplish things but possibly with insensitivity to others and their needs. Just be mindful of how intense you feel and slow down when others resist your suggestions. You will be very influential but temper it with wisdom and compassion.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. The whole month is powerful. Do your breathing meditation and have a good motivation every day.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
You have a nice time coming as Mars will run through Gemini for most of the month. This is nicely aspected by the Sun and Venus, giving you energy and warmth to whatever activity you are involved in. Therefore be mindful of yourself and focus on skillful expressions of your affection. Astrology always depends on attitude as that is the filter of the influences. Bodhicitta would be a good meditation to do all month. Being mindful of your attitude and all is controlled.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. Do contemplative meditations for the first 10 days of the month. You will want that blessing to enhance your Bodhicitta feelings in the later part of the month.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
You will have a lot of energy as month of April finishes. The Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Uranus will all bless your sign in the last two weeks. Do contemplative meditations in the first weeks and then express your good wishes in the last weeks. If you are mindful and compassionate. then all will be perfect. Astrology is only an influence, your wisdom, compassion and mindfulness are the true creators of your life.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month remember the mind training technique of “See everything as a dream illusion.” If it is just a dream, why get uptight? Dream a better dream if a bad one is manifesting!
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This is a great month for contemplative meditations. Planetary aspects from other signs are stimulating you. The main one is Saturn opposite Leo. That means be reflective and thoughtful, but not judgmental. This will be intensified as the Sun, Uranus, Venus, and Mercury come square Leo and Saturn in the last two weeks of April. Therefore, be thoughtful but with an altruistic attitude, that ensures you are wise but compassionate, irrespective of whatever happens.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month is the time for contemplative meditations. As you are a Buddhist use this favorable time to review your basic teachings that bring about your enlightenment. Then you will always act in a skillful manner.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month energy is good for dreams and visions. Neptune and Mercury will be opposite Virgo, stimulating insights. This is then greatly benefited by the Sun, Uranus, Venus, and Mercury all coming well aspected in the last two weeks of April. For a Buddhist this is helpful. Neptune and all the other planets support of a meditative and spiritual attitude and if you add to this compassion, then there is nothing you can’t accomplish. Faith and spiritual insight add good energy to your determination to do things well.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month listen to the advice above and manage your excitement. The energy is there, it just needs to be directed properly.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
The month starts with a feeling of being scattered. The Sun, Venus and Mercury are opposite your sign. That means satisfaction may be distant for you. The Mercury aspect can cause mental agitation. Be mindful of your decisions and don’t waste energy on things beyond your reach. This may feel complicated with the oppositions, but as you have the Perfection of Patience as a guide and virtue, this situation is manageable.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. To have a realized state of balance you need patience. Remember if you cannot wait for a situation to right itself then you are trying to control things too much. Balance comes from inside, not controlling the outside world.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
The month is good and will be full of energy in the last two weeks. You will have the Sun, Venus, Uranus and Mercury all running opposite to Scorpio. That could be problematic if you lack mindfulness, but as you are a Buddhist, situations will be stimulating and the basis of your practice. Just be careful of being in a rush to have fun as you come to the middle of the month. Work on what is present, not on what you hope will happen. Irrespective of astrology or anything external to you, all is managed if you are wise and mindful.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. Your Vajrayana practice will go well, and the visualizations will be strong. Do not delude yourself though, tantra relies on clarity, not on illusions.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Things seem so much lighter now! The Sun and Venus are well positioned to increase your good will and love. This influence will last for two weeks at the start of April and then things will slow down and be peaceful. It is good to use positive aspects of astrology to increase your Dharma practice. It is actually good to have bad aspects too, to test your Dharma abilities. Whatever the case, just have positive motivations and situations will not be the cause of non-virtue.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month inspiration comes from a vision of your life’s goals. Be aware of your visionary side and use it to give your life an altruistic context.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
The first part of the month you are a little too intense. Pluto is squared by the Sun and Venus in the first two weeks. Slow down during this time and be mindful of your mood and temperament. What is excellent for you is a good aspect with the Sun, Uranus, Venus, and Mercury for the last two weeks of the month. These planets are in Taurus in the last ten days and compliment Capricorn, so you will feel good. Faith coupled with being centered is available if you focus your mind clearly.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month be mindful of what you decide to do, checkup twice before making a commitment. Once you decide on what you wish to do then powerful abilities will be available.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
The Sun and Venus have a good impact on you from Aries. That means your focus stimulates enthusiasm and love. Because you have Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, you have a lot of power to accomplish things. If you feel inspired, you are dwelling in positive images of what could happen. Work with your positive perspective and remember to “bring all experiences to the path.” This will be important in the last ten days of April, as the Sun, Uranus, Venus, and Mercury will all run square to Saturn. Start the month with clarity and end the month with mindful wisdom.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. You are a beacon of good will and spontaneity the first ten days. Study Bodhicitta as that is the highest form of idealism that exists. It is of the greatest benefit to all, including yourself. Read Kunnu Lama Tenzin Gyalstan’s, “Praise of Bodhicitta.” Amazon carries this book. It will be time well spent!
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
You are liberated and energetic. Neptune will give you a wonderfully liberating energy and vision. Be open to new ideas. Trying to control yourself all the time is sometimes equal to repression. Mahamudra is being open to whatever arises, but Mahamudra also uses wisdom to maintain equilibrium. It is a nice month, the virus is less problematic, and life is returning to normal, slowly. Do positive things to make the world a better place.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month know your liberal side will shine for all. Be communicative and share all that you have inside. You will be radiant.
