December 2018
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month has an interesting mix of passion and confusion. Uranus is in Aries running retrograde and opposite to Venus. That can mean rash emotional or sexual expression. Be careful of exaggerating your sexual feelings into something that is inappropriate. In the last two weeks the issue will diminish. Slow down, think about what you wish to do and make sure it causes no harm to others. There is a small possibility your health could be upset during this time. Astrology does not cause illness but if you have karmic seeds of ill health, astrology can stimulate those seeds.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month just slow down and don’t motivate externally. If you have a motivation, make it to be more mindful and peaceful. Your awareness and wisdom can protect you from many errors.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month has Venus opposite Taurus. The opposition can stimulate excess flights of fantasy and desire. So, for this month slow down and don’t chase desires that are beyond your capacity. The transit could be good for meditations on love and compassion. That is “May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes”. Just make sure it is a positive feeling towards others and not one desiring for them to just make you happy.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month don’t exaggerate things.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month there is great enthusiasm. Jupiter and the Sun are in Sagittarius all of December. Be a little careful of being overly enthusiastic about what you are going to do. Your optimism may exaggerate the actual situation beyond what is possible. Just slow down a little and you will make good decisions. In the last ten days your intelligence will blossom. Mercury will run together with Jupiter, increasing your communication capacity. Sing some Christmas Carols or do something to promote happy feelings during this season. Have a good motivation and all will be fine.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month think about how you are interdependent with all around you and fill that space with affection and love. This is the season to be jolly.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month your deep feelings are playing a role in whatever you wish to do. The month has a lot of power with Pluto and Saturn opposite Cancer. Start the month with mindfulness of your deeper feelings. By being mindful you release the pressure and will not suffer negative feelings. This is important because in the last ten days of November the Sun will conjunct Saturn and increase your judgmental mind. If you have not been mindful you could get quite intense at the end of the month. It is Christmas and although that is supposed to be a nice time it also can be stressful. Now in what area could you feel intense? That depends on where you are placing emphasis. Astrology is only an influence, you are the outlet of that influence. This is a good transit for Guru Yoga as Pluto is connected to deep faith.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective and patient. Patience is a wonderful virtue. It comes from understanding that aggression is not the best way to resolve issues. Go slowly and your goals will be attained. If there is something you strongly believe in, you will be hard working to accomplish that goal.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month starts well. The Sun, Jupiter and Mercury all sit well positioned to your Sun sign. There are no direct planets in Leo, so these aspects stimulate you from afar. The Sun is well positioned and that helps smooth things over. The end of the month and Christmas day are all great as Mercury and Jupiter move to a good aspect to Leo. Therefore, at that time be happy and do some nice things for others.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month start your Christmas season slowly and know by the last ten days you will feel great.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month starts slowly with a sense of imagination and spirituality motivating you. Neptune is finally moving positively in Pisces and running opposite Virgo. Your dream life and altruism may benefit from that aspect. This becomes very strong in the first weeks of December as the Sun and Jupiter become conjunct and in a strong aspect with Virgo and Neptune. Be carefun to not be in a rush preparing for Christmas. Come Christmas day you can wish for the world to have peace and happiness. You have Jupiter and Mercury square Virgo and Neptune. If you find you are easily distracted, do breathing meditation and shift your focus on benefiting others. Have a nice holiday season.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month be peaceful and altruistic. Do things that positively motive you and pass on the blessings of good feelings.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you are empty of any planets directly in Libra. You do have Uranus running retrograde and opposite to Libra and that might bring up some surprises for you. In the last days of December, the Sun, Saturn and Pluto will square to Libra and as that coincides with Christmas you should be careful of being critical of what others do for the holiday season. Granted astrology cannot ruin Christmas but when those influences are mixed with a lack of mindfulness, then unpleasant things can happen.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. Balance this month is around how much energy you put into your actions. Balance the enthusiasm with common sense.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month you are powerful and charismatic. Reason is Venus is in Scorpio with a short opposition from Uranus. This will not last long but be careful of impulsive desires. If you wish to do something special this month, do it after the first week of December. Come the Christmas week you have Saturn, the Sun and Pluto well aspected and so you will be confident and in a good mood. Granted you need to be mindful of your motivation during that time as astrology is only an influence but at least astrology is supportive of your good mood.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month do your Christmas shopping slowly in the first week of December, after the tenth you will make better decisions regarding what present is for whom.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month is birthday month. Send a present to your parents or send good wishes to their current rebirth state. They are the source of this rebirth and deserve recognition. This month you are busy with the Sun and Jupiter in Sagittarius. The Sun Jupiter aspect will give you lots of energy. Be a little careful of trying to accomplish too much. Your optimism is high and it might over estimate a situation. Be careful of over spending. As Christmas day approaches your mind is brilliant, you have Jupiter and Mercury conjunct. Sing some nice carols or motivate people to share peaceful and happy feelings.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month motivate positively and wish to be of supreme benefit to others. What more could we ask of a Sagittarian Buddhist who practices Bodhicitta?
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month is birthday month. Send a present to your parents or send good wishes to their current rebirth state. They are the source of this rebirth and deserve recognition. The month starts slowly as Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. This will mean you are calm and thoughtful. As the Christmas week approaches you will be a stable source of wisdom for all. The Sun will conjunct Saturn. Our mindful compassionate awareness is our motivation for all situations. I recommend you invoke peace when situations become agitated. Christmas can be stressful for some people. It is a good month to be mindful we are interdependent beings and be helpful. Your wisdom is strong, share it with a compassionate voice.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. Carry on with your meditations. Go slowly and be thoughtful.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month the Sun and Jupiter start with good aspects to your sign. That means you will be full of good energy. There are actually no planets in Aquarius, but beneficial planets stimulate you from a distance. Come the last two weeks of December, Jupiter and Mercury will move into good positions to Aquarius, replacing the Sun’s stimulation. You can enjoy Christmas by sharing good stories that stimulate generosity and peace with others.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month increase your mindful awareness. By being mindful you control yourself and all that influences you. Astrology is only an influence and it gains impact on us if we lack a mindful attitude of who we are and what we are doing.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
The month is full of spirituality and energy. Neptune and Mars are conjunct in Pisces and both are moving forward in a positive manner. This is increased during the first ten days of December with the Sun stimulating Mars and Neptune with a powerful aspect. Your dream life and altruism will increase. The last weeks of December have Jupiter and Mercury in a similar aspect to Neptune. That increases altruistic thoughts. We are on the Bodhisattva’s path to enlightenment, we wish to benefit the world. Christmas is a great season for good cheer. Be a source of those good feelings.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month you have a great opportunity to meditate with altruistic feelings. Enjoy the time and be friendly.
