January 2014 Happy New Year
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month starts with a lot of energy that might not go in the right directions. You have Mars, Pluto, Jupiter and the Sun all square or opposite Uranus in Aries. It is not the end of the world but do be more mindful for the month. The Sun and Mars will move away quickly from this aspect but Jupiter, Pluto and briefly Venus will all remain in a T square position. So Mindfulness in all actions, coupled with Wisdom and Compassion are your best assets for January of 2014.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month just go a little slower and be mindful of being in a rush and making bad decisions. Therefore reflect on the interdependent nature of life and know that a positive motivation inclusive of others is the cause of all happiness.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month there are no planets in your Sun sign. This is a good opportunity to mention that life is not just your astrology chart. The more mindful and aware you are, the more you have freedom from all aspects of influence. For example the male and female Bodhisattvas and the Buddhas are part of the world and involved in the interplay of influences but they remain clear minded and of a beneficial nature. Keep this in mind and you will find inspiration to live a meaningful life.
Taurus Buddhists are practical but this month you have a mixture of support and complication. Some planets are harmoniously aspected from a distance and others are inharmoniously aspected. Therefore do your best on a moment to moment basis in a practical manner.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month there are no planets in your Sun sign. This is a good opportunity to mention that life is not just your astrology chart. The more mindful and aware you are, the more you have freedom from all aspects of influence. For example the male and female Bodhisattvas and the Buddhas are part of the world and involved in the interplay of influences but they remain clear minded and of a beneficial nature. Keep this in mind and you will find inspiration to live a meaningful life.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month there are good aspects from 4 planets during the month of January. First this includes Mars, Uranus and finally the Sun and Mercury. Basically do as you wish with positive mindful awareness.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month the Sun, Mercury, Pluto and Venus run in opposition. It can mean you could feel distracted and lost. The influence draws you out and makes your mind too busy. Therefore quietude meditation and peaceful thoughts and feelings are important. Motivate with compassionate feelings and all will be well. By the end of the month your affection will be strong as Venus and Pluto are conjunct and as Jupiter tends to be a happy planet in opposition to these two, things should be nice for you.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month meditate each morning and have a clear motivation. A good motive clarifies all emotional and intellectual confusion.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month has the Sun and Mercury opposite your Sun sign. That means you have astrological influence to be busy and talkative. The last week the Sun moves into this position of opposition and the desire to be busy will be stronger. Therefore plan your days well and don’t let distraction get in the way. Keep your plans to the immediate things in front of you.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month slow down and be contemplative on the nature of samsara. Samsara is unreliable but we can work constructively with it by having a confident positive motivation.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month there is a sense of reflective contemplativeness as Neptune is opposite your Sign. That can help you meditate and be more visionary. It can be complicated though as Neptune can also cause illusions to develop. Therefore be careful of being too vague or idealistic when making plans. Astrology is only an influence and that influence depends on where you are currently putting emphasis. It is a good to put emphasis on wisdom, love and compassion. Those feelings help diminish a deluded mind.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month start the New Year with an inspiration to be of benefit to all around you. Motivation is important in all that we do.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month could be confusing for you. Mars is in Libra and Uranus is opposite to that. This can mean confusion and misguided energy are causing problems. Do things slowly and thoughtfully. Be reflective and contemplative. Samsara is a place to learn lessons but if you are wise enough the lessons are not too painful.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month balance outer life with a clear minded inner life.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month Saturn is in your Sun sign. Therefore do things that bring others into your life in a positive manner. You have to be careful of your communication skills for the first week as Mercury is square Saturn in Scorpio. Be mindful of yourself and what you are going to say and things will be fine. You have a lot of energy to express yourself, so express positive and supportive comments.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you have a planet of Wisdom in your sign and so manifest it skillfully. Passion needs some checks and balances or it just becomes an indulgence.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
The month has lots of support from Mars and Uranus well aspected to Sagittarius. As the month ends the Sun and Mercury are in a good aspect and so plan on a better sense of self awareness in the last 10 days of January. Basically do as you wish and just be mindful of your motive.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month you are happy from the point of view of astrology, so do whatever seems most beneficial.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
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 support you. This month starts with energy to accomplish plans. Pluto, Mercury, Venus and the Sun are in your sign. Move with confidence in positive directions. Do be careful in the first week though as Mars and Uranus are square to the Sun and Pluto. Just be more mindful of rash or impulsive decisions and all will be fine.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month do all the things that are important, you have excellent energy and a happy point of view. Just be mindful though before you rush off and do something!
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 support you. This month is great for communication. You have Mercury and the Sun in Aquarius in the last weeks. Be a little careful though as Mercury will be energetic with Mars and Uranus but fussy with a square from Saturn. That means you may have to clarify some of the things you said in the first two weeks.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month put more emphasis on mindfulness of speech. It will help you manage your high level of sensitivity.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month you carry on being spiritual and visionary. Neptune continues to bless you and has no negative aspects for the whole month. Therefore meditations of altruism, Bodhicitta are excellent. Your dreams will be pleasant if you go to sleep each night with a positive motive such as “May I help anyone I meet in my dreams”. It is an easy way to accumulate positive karma without a lot of work.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month focus on a clear minded approach to life. Love and compassion coupled with contemplation and intelligence help develop and maintain a clear mind.
