August 2018
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month Aries is empty of planets. Uranus has moved out and left space for you to recover from all the changes it stimulated. You do have good aspects from the Sun, Mercury and Mars. The aspects with Mercury and Mars are complicated, as both are moving retrograde. So as the first sentence said, it is a good time to relax and recover from all the changes that took place. If you try to do too many things you may find they don’t work out as you hoped.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. As it says above, is a lot of intensity effecting you, so don’t make big plans and all should be fine. If you have special projects, then ask for help from people who are capable.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month Mars is square Uranus in Taurus for all of the month. If you are not mindful it could turn into anger. That is the main point with “Buddhist Astrology.” Your mindfulness and awareness play a huge role in your daily activity. If they are in place, then nothing can disturb your equilibrium. If you are not mindful then errors in judgment can cause problems. This month it can be aggression and anger, those are the emotions to be mindful of and not act on.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month just be that, grounded and practical. Try to avoid impulsive activity. Think twice before you act.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month starts slowly but by midmonth things will pick up. The Sun, Mercury and Mars are all well aspected to your sign. All your plans have some support for success. Be careful of over reacting to obstacles. The reason is Mars and Mercury are retrograde and may give you inappropriate inspirations. You have high octane gas in your system this month and you may wish to go faster than is useful.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month use your communication skills to invite people to help you. Friends and sangha members are there if you remember to ask.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month I would like you to go slowly. The reason is Saturn and Pluto are opposite Cancer. Therefore, go slowly and do not be ambitious. It is the summer time and so enjoy the weather and wait for a few months to do big projects. The last 10 days things improve as Saturn will come well aspected to Uranus and the Sun, thus giving you positive inspiration. Just remember to use your intelligence when making decisions. Astrology alone does not guarantee success.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be mindful and practice in each moment. That is the life of the Buddha Dharma. If you are in a good mood all will be fine.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month is the birthday month. Send gifts to your parents, they deserve them. The ritual of birthdays is all backwards. Our existence is due to the support from our parents and all those before them. Without parents we don’t have a rebirth. Show your respect and appreciation. Even if your parents are not nice, they still can receive a thank you, because you met the Dharma. This month the Sun is in your sign giving you a lot of prestige. Be careful in the first week as Mars and Uranus over stimulate you. After that the rest of the month is fine astrologically.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month you have lots of energy to express yourself, so be mindful of what your say. You will inspire the people you talk to, so inspire them carefully.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month is the birthday month. Send gifts to your parents, they deserve them. The ritual of birthdays is all backwards. Our existence is due to the support from our parents and all those before them. Without parents we don’t have a rebirth. Show your respect and appreciation. Even if your parents are not nice, they still can receive a thank you. This month you have Venus in your sign for one week and it blesses your grace and poise. After that things are calm, slow down, breath peace into each moment and you will do fine. The month ends with a great aspect from the Sun, Uranus and Saturn. Those planets give you authority and power in your decisions.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month start with a loving motivation and end it with confidence in whatever you wish to do.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you have Venus entering Libra. That means feeling warm, affectionate and sensual. As the month continues you may become affectionately possessive. The reason is Pluto will run square Venus and stimulate possessiveness of those you love. This could overwhelm those around you. You are like a big vehicle moving quickly down a four-lane highway. There is a lot of power in the aspect, so drive carefully.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month motivate properly and all will unfold perfectly.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month you may find yourself a little frustrated as the month starts. The reason is the Sun and Mercury will square Jupiter in Scorpio. You do have excellent intuition though as Jupiter and Neptune are well aspected. Be careful of over reacting to things you perceive could happen. You have the perception but possibly lack the best way to express it. That is the main point with “Buddhist Astrology.” Your mindfulness and awareness play a huge role in your daily activity. If they are in place, then nothing can disturb your equilibrium. If you are not mindful then errors in judgment can cause problems.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month do what I suggest above. There is not much else one can suggest. Samsara is samsara and unless you collect a mountain of good karma you will have ups and downs occasionally.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month starts with lots of energy. The Sun, Mars and Mercury will all be well aspected to your sign. Your plans have support for success provided you are mindful. Be a little careful of over reacting to obstacles, this is caused by retrograde Mars and Mercury. You have high octane gas in your system, but you may wish to go faster than is useful.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month have good feelings and inspiration, share it carefully with the world around you.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Feelings are important as Pluto is in your sign. This month starts with decisive power as Saturn and Uranus are well aspected. That changes quickly as Pluto will come square to Venus, stimulating strong desires. I always like to emphasize that your awareness and wisdom play the main role in your success and happiness. This month exercise your wisdom and compassion. In each action realize that many factors of influence help create that moment. Therefore, if you live and express your wisdom and compassion you are bringing the best you can offer to everything you do. This helps things unfold perfectly.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This time take three deep and comfortable breaths before you plan a decision. Decisions will never be difficult if you center yourself first.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month you have Mars retrograde in Aquarius. This is intensified by a square to Uranus and an opposition to the Sun and Mercury. Be careful of the decisions you take. The aspects with Mercury and Mars are complicated, as both are moving retrograde. That stimulates mental confusion or erroneous ideas. Slow down and be peaceful, even if you feel the direct opposite. If you try to do too many things you may find they don’t work out as you hoped.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month be careful. You might end up in the wrong place at the wrong time because of not being mindful.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month Neptune is well aspected by Jupiter the whole month. That means enthusiastic Bodhicitta (altruism). Slow down and checkup periodically what your body, speech and mind are doing. Your good will is spontaneously energizing your nervous system you may find you wish to help all sentient beings till the end of time.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month energy is good but also a little overwhelming if you are not mindful, so use your good will skillfully.
