FEBRUARY 2017
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month you have the Sun, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury all sit harmoniously aspected to Uranus and Mars in Aries. The meaning of this is your wisdom, good will and intelligence work beneficially for you. Use those qualities to benefit others and you can add this astrological influence to your Dharma practice. The last ten days will be very powerful with Mars and Uranus conjunct with aspects to Jupiter and Saturn. That will mean a big increase of personal energy and power. Use it skillfully!
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month have some projects you wish to complete lined up. You will have a lot of power and capacity, use it well.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month is complicated with squares from the Sun and Mercury, so exercise mindful awareness of the faults of samsara. Samsara is unreliable and if our mind is confused it will always bring suffering. Astrology is not the cause of our suffering, it merely adds to the situations we are in. Most of the ten planets in the zodiac are not aspected to Taurus, so this is not a bad month for you. Just be mindful of getting confused if things happen quickly.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month think about activity twice before you act. Wisdom and compassion should always motivate your actions.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

That will mean a big increase of personal energy. Use it well.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month use your positive desires to be helpful. The month is very positive for you, so dedicate yourself to constructive activities.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month nothing is happening directly in your sign. Most planets are at odd angles, so again no major influences. You do have Pluto in opposition with some squares from Mars and Venus. Those can affect your deeper feelings and mood. You might consider Guru Yoga meditations like Guru Padmasambhava that involve faith and devotion. This is a constructive use of the passion of your deeper feelings.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month motivate with a clear mind. Your feelings play a big role in your life but it is important to also reflect on the significance of things with your intelligence.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month life is very energetic. The Sun and Mercury are opposite your Sun sign. You may enter February with some trepidation. You can find yourself too busy with many things to accomplish but not enough time. Slow down and do one thing at a time. The reason for this advice is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Mars and Venus are all well aspected to Leo. The problem is the opposition of the Sun and Mercury. Those influences distract you from accomplishing your good intentions.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month start actions with a clear motivation and the expectation that if something is beneficial for you and others it takes time to manifest.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month is quiet until the last week. Then the Sun, Neptune and Mercury will run opposite to Virgo. Organize your intentions at the start of the month and then let samsara unfold without expectations. No one controls samsara, remember that. The month could end with some interesting dreams and intuitions. Enjoy them as they manifest.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month have no expectations about orderliness and you will do well.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

The last ten days will have Mars, Uranus and Venus conjunct and opposite to Jupiter in Libra, that is a powerful set of influences. Be careful of rushing into new projects without checking up first.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month it might be good to slow down and double check your intention. The reason is Mercury and the Sun sit square your Sun sign. Exercise mindful awareness of the faults of samsara. Samsara is unreliable and if our mind is confused it will always bring suffering. Astrology is not the cause of our suffering, it merely adds to the situations we are in.

Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month slow down. That’s all.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month the Sun, Mars, Venus, Uranus, Mercury and Jupiter all sit harmoniously aspected to Saturn in Sagittarius. That means your wisdom and abilities work well for you.
