April 2022
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 Mercury start the month by inspiring you. That means intelligent communication is on your side. Be talkative, but in positive terms. The down side is Pluto squares both of them in the last weeks. You many feel strong mood swings during this time. Therefore, remember this is samsara and it will not hurt so much.
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 have Uranus effecting you all of the month and then a quick stimulation from Mercury as it enters Taurus. The Sun will bless you in the last ten days. During some of this time you have Pluto square the Sun, so strong feelings may come up. Samsara is like sailing a boat, you have to work skillfully with the wind and currents to stay on course.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. The whole month should be good with just a few hiccups. Do your breathing meditation and have a good motivation every day.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
You have no planets in Gemini for all the month, but you do have Mars, Venus, Neptune and Jupiter all square from Pisces. Therefore be mindful of yourself and focus on your wisdom, love and compassion. 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 are intense as this month of April progresses. The Sun and Mercury sit square your sign for a few weeks. Just lighten up about things you feel strongly about. All the month you will need to manage your energy skillfully with that square energy. If you are mindful and compassionate, then don’t worry. It is only people who take themselves too seriously that will have problems. Be mindful of your attitude, it is the creator of your situations.
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 should be a great month. Aspects from other signs are supportive of you. Mercury and the Sun smooth things out and give you good energy. Therefore, be altruistic with Bodhicitta meditations as most planets are well positioned to support such activity. This is nicely supported by the Mars, Saturn and Venus in Gemini.
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 great as Mars moves into Virgo. Mars will be together with Venus, Neptune and Jupiter all opposite Virgo. For a Buddhist this is helpful. Neptune, Jupiter and Venus blossom with the support of a meditative and compassionate attitude. If you add to this wisdom, 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 and Mercury are opposite your sign. Be mindful of your decisions and don’t waste energy on things beyond your reach. This feels complicated with the Mercury opposition, but as you have the Perfection of Patience as a virtue, this situation is manageable. Buddhist practice conquers all hinderances and interferences.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. To have a realized state of balance you need patience. Remember if you can’t 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 energetic. You have a Uranus opposition helping you be inspired. Uranus likes to get things done and positive aspects from Venus and Mars stimulates you to be positive. Just be slightly 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.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. Your Vajrayana practice will go well, and the visualizations will be strong. Don’t delude yourself though, tantra relies on clarity, not on illusions.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Things seem so much lighter now! The Sun and Mercury are well positioned to increase your good will and intelligence. Be a little careful of being in a rush. Enthusiasm may run high. Just have positive motivations linked with good intelligent decisions and it will not be the cause of non-virtue.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month inspiration comes from a vision of your life’s goal. 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 Mercury for a brief time. Slow down during this time and be mindful of your mood and temperament. What is excellent for you is a good aspect with Neptune and Jupiter for the last part of the month. The Sun is in Taurus in the last ten days and it compliments Capricorn, you will feel good. Faith is coupled with being mindful if you focus the 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 Mercury have a good impact on you together with Saturn, Mars and Venus in Aquarius. That means your focus stimulates enthusiasm. Remember that your imagination can be a positive or negative force for you. If you are worried about things, it is negative imagination. 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.”
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. You are a beacon of good will and spontaneity this month. Study Bodhicitta as that is the highest form of idealism that exists. It is of the greatest benefit to all, including yourself. Read Kunno Lama Tenzin Gyalstan’s, “Praise of Bodhicitta.” It will be time well spent!
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
You are liberated and energetic. Neptune and Jupiter give you a wonderfully liberating energy and by the months end, Venus will add love to all this. 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.
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.
