February 2019
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month you have the Sun and Mercury sitting harmoniously aspected to Uranus and Mars in Aries in the first weeks of the month. This means the Uranus is supported by confidence and your mind. Mars is conjunct to Uranus, thus adding a lot of power to your actions. The last ten days will have Mercury moving forward and giving better intellectual assistance to Uranus. Do be a little careful as Pluto squares Mars briefly. Be aware of strong feelings making you impulsive. Use the positive stimulations well.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month do active meditations in the first weeks and then contemplative meditations in the last weeks of February.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month starts with Venus, Saturn, Pluto and Neptune well aspected to Taurus. That translates into good intuition, energy and affection supporting you from afar. The Sun will do this in the last days of February bestowing good self-confidence. Astrology is only an influence and our awareness, compassion and wisdom are the most important aspects of our decisions. Samsara is unreliable and if our mind is confused it will always bring us suffering.
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)
This month the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter all sit harmoniously aspected to Gemini in the first weeks of the month. That means your good will and self-confidence work to your advantage. Use those qualities to benefit others and then the influences become part of your dharma practice. The last ten days has the Sun and Mercury square to Gemini. Slow down and be contemplative in those days. Contemplation and quietude meditation help you deal with everything, including astrology.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month use your intuition together with your desire to be helpful. Intuition has different sources of inspiration and it does not always have to be an intellectual idea that awakens insight.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month we continue with an opposition of Pluto and Saturn plus a square of Uranus and Mars. Those are good aspects for slowing down and doing a lot of deep meditation. Not just quietude meditation, include contemplative meditations to help clarify your life’s journey. It is always good to be attentive of our thoughts and actions. Be mindful to avoid physical agitation or being grumpy. Astrologically it is a good time to be peaceful.
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 and this can make you feel distracted. 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 effect will diminish as the month closes as those planets move into Pisces.
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 you start off with Neptune opposite Virgo. That can translate into dreaming and agitating over desires. Reason is Neptune stimulates imagination. Therefore, be mindful of chasing desires that are unreasonable. Slow down, do breathing meditation and be at peace with life. The Tibetans have a saying, “A person with many desires knows little satisfaction.”
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)
This month Uranus and Mars are opposite to the sign of Libra. This can make you very busy or scattered. Your meditations might not be successful. Better to be active and digging in the garden this month. Therefore, enjoy end of the winter months and tidy things up in preparation for spring. This is an energetic blessing and so use the energy to wake up from the winter doldrums.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month balance inner wisdom with the potential outer actions.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month it might be good to slow down and double check your intention. The reason is the Sun and Mercury sit square your Sun sign. This aspect is made more powerful with Mercury and the Sun conjunct in the first week. That means lots of energy to distract your thoughts and generate an overactive intellect. Slow down and check up on what you are planning on doing. The stimulation will only last the first week of February.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month slow down. That’s all.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month it is good to meditate on the rejoicing in all forms of virtue. Jupiter in Sagittarius helps you be enthusiastic. Neptune is square to Jupiter but that can be beneficial in having positive imaginations about the beneficial activities of altruistic people. This aspect is good for meditators because they can feel overjoyed with the positive activities of others. Having fun is good but we should never exaggerate it into something more than a passing bliss.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month sit and meditate before you start each day. A clear motivation plays a huge role in personal success, let alone on the scale of one’s whole life.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month Pluto and Saturn run in your Sign. The influence can mean deep thoughts and feelings pervade your mind. This can apply to areas of love, affection, faith and devotion. Do Guru Yoga meditations and you can use the beneficial influences of Pluto. Your affection gets a nice boost in the first week with a positive aspect with Venus. Good time to write some poetry if you wish to.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month reflect on some nice things you would like to do during the first week of the month. What you think will manifest into reality and so have positive thoughts to stimulate good results.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This is the birthday month. Offer thanks to your parents for giving you this rebirth. They are the ones that really deserve the presents. You would not have met the dharma or the great teachers if you did not have this body. It is a good time to rejoice and offer thanks to all that supports you. This month is great for intellectual work. This stimulates you in the first ten days of the month. Use the beneficial aspects of your intelligence for important decisions. A good intelligent mind is always an asset to have.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month shine like the Sun at midday. It is your birthday; share the good energy with everyone.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This is the birthday month. Offer thanks to your parents for giving you this rebirth. They are the ones that really deserve the presents. You would not have met the dharma or the great teachers if you did not have this body. It is a good time to rejoice and offer thanks to all that supports you. This month your mind starts to get active in the last weeks of February. You have the Sun and Mercury increasing your intellectual abilities. That will shift over to wonderful dreams and visualizations in the last weeks. Reason is the Sun will conjunct Neptune.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month balance your imagination with a mindful sensation of peace. Your mind has many enlightening qualities and this month altruistic love and meditative insights are available.
