February 2016
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month Uranus is in Aries. Therefore, I would be open minded for new and different things to happen. Uranus is always a stimulating planet and if one has a rigid attitude then Uranus can be disruptive. If one is open to change, then Uranus is a blessing as it stimulates totally new perspectives on existing situations. This month is not good as Mercury, Venus and Pluto all square Uranus. Therefore, be extra mindful of rash ideas or desires. Patience is a good virtue but it needs situations like this to develop its qualities.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month mindfulness is the dominate practice to rely on. Naturally add your altruistic motive of Bodhicitta to give it a nice quality.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month you have great energy and organizational skills. Mercury, Venus, Pluto and Neptune are well aspected to Taurus. This is good for intuitive restructuring of things. The intuition comes from Neptune and the thoughtfulness from Mercury. Venus provides the impetuous to do pleasant things. Therefore, be mindful but active.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month be present to what transpires in your immediate environment. Speculation can be useful as it opens the door new ideas. Be present and compassionate.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month things are basically good. The Sun, Saturn and Uranus all support you from a distance. These are secondary influences to help you be happy and intelligent. Astrology is just an influence like the weather. This means right now the conditions are good but you have to be aware of unexpected showers from other aspects of influence in your life. That would be a realistic view of things.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month be friendly and inspirational. Gemini has a strong intellectual capacity so be mindful of your speech and be supportive verbally of others.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month everything seems related to deep feelings with love and intelligence. This is very good for Guru Yoga practices and faith. The reason is Pluto, Venus and Mercury are opposite Cancer but with a square from Uranus all the month of February. Therefore, Guru Yoga practices will give you strength if strange things happen. A friend once shared a comment when faced with a problematic situation. He said “What would my Guru do in this situation?” and that helped him find an answer.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective emotionally. Do meditations that increase your faith. A good month to be mindful of the blessings of having a Guru.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month you might have an enlightening moment in the first two weeks. The Sun is opposite to your sign but well aspected with Saturn and Uranus. That is great for profound insights provided you are not materialistically focused. This aspect loses its blessing if you are simply focused on material possessions. People with a spiritual vision will see the expanse of the sky as never before. It only lasts for the three weeks and so keep your spiritual eyes open.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month look at the world with the eyes of a yogi/yogini. Keep your vision on the grand scheme of things, not the little details.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month life is lively with Neptune running in opposition to your sign. This effect is increased all of February as the Sun will join Neptune. Jupiter is helping all this by adding energy, like gasoline on a fire. Therefore, expect life to be full and unpredictable. If you are open-minded then you may find yourself excited with the progression of events. If you have a defensive attitude and are closed-minded then life might be unsettling. Be mindful of yourself as that is the best protection.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month you are running on intuition. Keep an eye on your ethical conduct. If you do something negative remember guilt is a double negative (the problem and low self-esteem) whereas regret helps you avoid problems repeating themselves in the future.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month everything seems related to deep feelings. This is very good for Guru Yoga practices and faith. The reason is Pluto, Venus and Mercury are square Libra and opposite to Uranus all the month of February. Therefore, Guru Yoga practices will give you strength if strange things happen. A friend once shared a comment when faced with a problematic situation. He said “What would my Guru do in this situation?” and that helped him find an answer.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month life is good as you have a meditative nature. Do actions that benefit your neighborhood and community. Buddhists should express their positive qualities and influence the world constructively and this month is good for that.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month slow down a little. The Sun sits square Mars and your Sun sign and you might get confused. There is a positive effect though to communicate and be affectionate as Mercury, Venus and Pluto are well aspected. Focus on being friendly and all should go well. As Atisha the great Indian saint says, “All suffering can be laid on the doorstep of self-cherishing.” Don’t focus on yourself, instead be aware of others and help them.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you have to be careful of confusion. You are prone to creating an illusion about yourself. Remember samsara is an illusion too, so don’t worry as everything you do is just relative to the moment and has no ultimately permanence.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month should go well for you. The Sun, Mercury and Venus all support Saturn in Sagittarius from a distance. These are secondary influences to help you be happy, focused and intelligent. Astrology is just an influence like the weather. This means right now the conditions are good to use these good aspects to influence beneficially your life. That would be a realistic view of things.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month your enthusiasm is running well. Therefore, do positive things and be helpful to others.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month everything seems related to deep feelings. This is very good for Guru Yoga practices and faith. The reason is Pluto, Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn but badly aspected to Uranus all the month of February. Therefore, Guru Yoga practices will give you strength if strange things happen. A friend once shared a comment when faced with a problematic situation. He said “What would my Guru do in this situation?” and that helped him find an answer.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month be mindful of what direction you choose to go in. Faith plays a good role in your activities and so resonate with what you do and you will have a lot of power.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month you are the center of the universe. First off it is your birthday! Celebrate by phoning your mother and thanking her for the rebirth. Even if you don’t get along with your mother, she still gave you the opportunity to meet the Dharma and work on your issues. She deserves a hug from you. The Sun is in Aquarius and then Venus and Mercury in the last weeks of February. This is increased with a beneficial aspect to Uranus. It is a good time to meditate and pray with a Bodhicitta motivation.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month universal responsibility is so obvious to you it is hard to understand why everyone is not working for social justice and human rights. Be mindful of your speech, it is both a source of inspiration and also a weapon that inflames situations.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month you are inspired as you have never felt before. Initially you don’t think anything special will happen this month but by midmonth all the rules of the game change. Be prepared to become visionary. Do it skillfully though. Radical ideas upset people, so implement change with grace and poise. Also it is your birthday! Celebrate by phoning your mother and thanking her for the rebirth. Even if you don’t get along with your mother, she still gave you the opportunity to meet the Dharma and work on your issues. She deserves a hug from you.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month you are inspired in love and vision. So write a poem or compose a dharma story. You are happy, witty and intelligent, so enjoy the stimulation while it lasts.
