July 2019
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Well it is a good month to stop most of what you strive for and relax. An aggressive attitude could cause problems. The Sun, Saturn, Pluto and Venus are square to your sign. This is a good set of aspects for the Perfection of Patience. It is not a good time to be focused on personal goals as you may be too intense. The reason is your mind has the possibility of being impulsive with these aspects. Just slow down and enjoy the beginning of summer.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month motivate to be quiet and peaceful. Be the true definition of a Buddhist, an inner person, and this means to focus on inner qualities and not on outer goals.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
If Aries was told to slow down you can rely on the suggestion to move forward carefully. Uranus is strongly aspected to Mars and Mercury thus stimulating lots of ideas. This will effect you for the first week of the month only. Then it is good to do positive things. You are inspired and spontaneous in your activities, so make them positive and constructive. Think about your motive twice before you act on doing something.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. Use an emotion based goal like Bodhicitta or Metta meditation for this month. Those meditations produce good results when mixed with mindfulness. Be intelligent and peaceful.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
You have supportive energy from Jupiter opposite your sign for this month. Be mindful that when you have a revelation you don’t jump off your meditation mat to pursue it. Slow down and digest the experience before you get up. It is a good time to do things and strive to perfect yourself. You are inspired, just do it skillfully.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. Your big month was June with your birthday and all sorts of inspiration. This month do some of the things you were inspired about last month.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Happy birthday. Well, you have a wonderful time ahead of you. The Sun and Venus give you happiness and satisfaction. Uranus and Neptune will be helpfully positioned also all the month. That means a lack of mindfulness could be the only potential problem. The reason for that is Mercury is retrograde and coming back into Cancer. An example is similar to sunny weather for the whole month but be careful not to get sun burnt. Avoid over stimulating yourself with bad ideas.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month your emotional life is strong, so infuse it with Bodhicitta. The wish to benefit others has so many benefits to both yourself and others. Meditate constantly on Bodhicitta and even your sleep will become a source of enlightenment.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Happy birthday. Your mind knows no bounds. Mars is transiting through Leo and well aspected to Jupiter this month. Think of it like a lot of electricity between the will to act and enthusiasm. Just be careful in the first week of July as Mercury is running retrograde. What is good is it is leaving Leo, so just be careful of errant ideas in the first week and then you can relax from that interference.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. Know you could convince anyone to look at spiritual practice. Your strong point is your depth of understanding. Therefore, be mindful of the amount of energy that comes out of you. Monitor it like a water hose, not too much water nor too little, just the right amount to moisten the minds of others.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
It is good to slow down this month. You could be prone to misunderstanding situations. Jupiter and Neptune sit square and opposite to Virgo. That will translate into enthusiasm and intuition having a big impact on you. The problem is the square and opposition, they stimulate erroneous ideas and misperceptions. Be careful of thinking things is all in order when they are not. You have not checked carefully.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. Move on activities that require clear minded energy. Any meditations involving intelligent reevaluation are good this month.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Well it is a good month to stop most of what you strive for and contemplate things. You have the Sun and Venus running square to Libra. That means your sensual desires may move you in the wrong direction. The Sun square makes you agitated and the Venus square motivates you to want to be free through indulging in something. Don’t chase desires, you will not find satisfaction this month. Slow down and be peaceful.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. The intellect has strength in contemplative activities therefore as the wise sages of the past have said, “Go Slowly with mindfulness.”
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month Scorpio is empty of direct stimulation. That means there are no planets in your sign. Of course, there are always influences effecting you, both astrological and other. You will be a little agitated as Uranus is opposite but it is not a long lasting stimulation for you. Just be a little careful in the first week of July. After that be happy and do as you please.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. Your passion-o-meter is low this month. Just be mindful and exude happiness. What more could we ask of anyone?
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
You have Jupiter getting supportive energy from Mars for this month. Be mindful of your imagination though. Neptune squares Jupiter and can stimulate revelations to have you jump off your meditation mat to pursue them. Slow down and digest the experience before you get up. It is a good time to do things and strive to perfect yourself, just do it slowly and mindfully.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. Meditate on Bodhicitta. This month inspiration comes from the desire to do good. Be aware of your feelings and don’t think that a vision is just image related. Feelings are visionary too.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
You must deal with a powerful month of dualities. The Sun and Venus sit in direct opposition to Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. This means you have to weigh your actions carefully. If you over emphasize one direction you may find yourself confused and dissatisfied. It is a good month to be thoughtful. Do lots of contemplative meditations.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. A time of deep feelings is here and so enter into this month by developing a thoughtful attitude.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
You have Mercury running retrograde and opposite to Aquarius the whole month. Be careful where your thoughts lead you. If you are worried about things it is negative thoughts and imagination. If you feel inspired, it is because you are thinking in positive terms of what could happen. Work with a positive perspective and keep yourself grounded with a few mindful breaths.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month only do altruistic meditations, especially Bodhicitta. Planetary aspects can help your realizations, but you have to do the meditation to reap the support. Don’t daydream about meditating, do it!
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month the Sun and then Venus work to motivate your imagination and intuition. Neptune is in Pisces and that means many years of visionary experiences are ahead of you. The positive side of it is that the Sun and Venus support you. Therefore, go after your goals. No more daydreaming. Seek to accomplish even the impossible, you have the support.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month drop all inhibitions and move on your visions. If you don’t act now when there are supportive astrological aspects, then when could you? Reflect that life is impermanent and you don’t want to be known as a procrastinator.
