January 2021
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
We are starting a new year. It is a good time to resolve the last year and motivate for the new year. I highly recommend doing either Vajra Daka Fire Ritual (included as a post on Facebook “Buddhist Astrology”) or Vajrasattva Practice. To resolve the past year helps us move into the new year. Wishing you a productive 2021.
This month you are empty of planets, well, almost. Mars is moving out of Aries very quickly. It will be briefly squared by Jupiter and Saturn, so have mindfulness in all actions, coupled with Wisdom and Compassion. After the first week things will calm down and the Sun, Saturn and Jupiter will be well aspected to Aries, giving you more harmonious energy and support. Remember, your awareness, wisdom and compassion are the real creators of your life, not astrology.
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)
We are starting a new year. It is a good time to resolve the last year and motivate for the new year. I highly recommend doing either Vajra Daka Fire Ritual (included as a post on Facebook “Buddhist Astrology”) or Vajrasattva Practice. To resolve the past year helps us move into the new year. Wishing you a productive 2021.
This month be very careful of aggression or rash decisions. The reason is Mars and Uranus are coming conjunct (two fire planets) and will be squared by Jupiter and Saturn. That makes you feel intense and vulnerable to bad decisions and actions. Slow down, focus on a mindful month and help others gracefully. 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 complications. Some planets are inharmoniously aspected. Therefore, do your best on a moment to moment basis in a practical and compassionate manner.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
We are starting a new year. It is a good time to resolve the last year and motivate for the new year. I highly recommend doing either Vajra Daka Fire Ritual (included as a post on Facebook “Buddhist Astrology”) or Vajrasattva Practice. To resolve the past year helps us move into the new year. Wishing you a productive 2021.
This month there are no planets in your Sun sign. You do briefly have Venus in opposition, which will stimulate affection or desire. You also have Neptune in a square aspect, which can stimulate fantasies or delusions. All the influences just depend on your attitude and actions. Be mindful with wisdom, compassion, and good will. That will filter all inharmonious influences, astrological or other. 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 do as you wish with positive mindful awareness. The influences are distant, so you have more control then their effect on you.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
We are starting a new year. It is a good time to resolve the last year and motivate for the new year. I highly recommend doing either Vajra Daka Fire Ritual (included as a post on Facebook “Buddhist Astrology”) or Vajrasattva Practice. To resolve the past year helps us move into the new year. Wishing you a productive 2021.
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 things should be nice for you. Be the bodhisattva you promised to be and help others on the path to enlightenment.
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)
We are starting a new year. It is a good time to resolve the last year and motivate for the new year. I highly recommend doing either Vajra Daka Fire Ritual (included as a post on Facebook “Buddhist Astrology”) or Vajrasattva Practice. To resolve the past year helps us move into the new year. Wishing you a productive 2021.
This month has the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury will all run opposite your Sun sign. That means you have astrological influence to be busy, intense and talkative. Therefore, plan your days well and do not let distraction get in the way. Keep your plans to the immediate things in front of you. 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.
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)

I highly recommend doing either Vajra Daka Fire Ritual (included as a post on Facebook “Buddhist Astrology”) or Vajrasattva Practice. To resolve the past year helps us move into the new year. Wishing you a productive 2021.
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 thoughts and feelings help diminish a deluded mind. 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.
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 opposite to your sign for a brief moment at the beginning of the month. This can mean confusion and misguided energy are causing problems. Do things slowly and thoughtfully in the first week. Be reflective and contemplative. Samsara is a place to learn lessons but if you are wise enough the lessons are not too painful. 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.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month balance outer life with a clear minded inner life.

This month Mars and Uranus will run opposite to Scorpio with complications from Jupiter and Saturn being square. That means you could be intense about even the smallest errors of yourself or others. Slow down. Be mindful of yourself and what you are going to say or do, and things will be fine. You have a lot of energy to express yourself, so express positive and supportive comments. 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.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you have a planets strongly influencing you. Remember, your passion needs checks and balances, or it just becomes an indulgence.

The month has Venus briefly transiting through Sagittarius. That means love and affection are part of the first week of January. As the month ends the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury are in a good aspect and so plan on a positive sense of self awareness in the last weeks of January. Basically, do as you wish and just be mindful of your motive. In many ways the month of January is a blessing for you from the point of view of astrology. That does not mean success, but it is a good environment to work in.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month you are happy from the point of view of astrology, so do whatever is most beneficial.

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, and the Sun are in your sign. Move with confidence in positive directions. Do be careful in the first week though as Mars is square to the Sun, Mercury and Pluto. Just be more mindful of rash or impulsive decisions and all will be fine. Basically the month will close with a nice sense of love as Pluto and Venus will come conjunct, stimulating a deep feeling of affection.

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 skillful activity and communication. You have first Jupiter and Saturn enter your sign, and then Mercury and the Sun will come into Aquarius. Be careful though as all those planets (and the Sun) will be energetically squared by Mars and Uranus. That can mean you are fussy of little details. You may have to clarify some of the things you said in the first two weeks because of these aspects. 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.

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. 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.
