July 2020
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month you have the Sun and Mercury running square your sign for all the month. This is complicated by Mars in Aries being directly hit by the Mercury square. Be careful of angry thoughts and bad communication skills. Take into consideration the summer has started, it is hot, and you might want to relax. These aspects basically mean you should have no expectation of what will transpire as the month progresses. Be open-minded. What you want and what you get might differ slightly. If you involved in debates or legal matters you will be aggressive, which might be useful? Just use the energy skillfully.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month have no material motives and just be aware in each moment. That is the real practice of mindfulness.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month you have a great sense of intellectual flexibility. The Sun and Mercury are all well aspected to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus gives you a great spontaneity and for the whole month Mercury stimulates you. Therefore, be mindful of what is happening and look beyond the immediate situation. Something from outside your immediate circle of awareness may bring happiness to you. You will have great ideas about what to do during this time of ‘house isolation’. Don’t think you are invulnerable, that would be an error on your part.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month you may have to look beyond the immediate situation to understand what is happening. Just because you cannot see something does not mean it does not exist.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month the party is over, and most of the planets have moved to other signs. You are lucky though as Venus is transiting forward in Gemini and well aspected by Mars the whole month. That means you still have a party spirit within you. Obviously, you cannot party in large social groups, the virus is still out there, but you can be friendly online and with various chat programs. Basically, rely on your awareness, wisdom, and compassion for the decisions you make. That is the best guarantee for success and happiness. Enjoy the summer as it unfolds.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month be mindful of the decisions you make and the direction they take you in. Be foresighted and try to understand what results might manifest from the current directions you choose. You want to be happy, just do it carefully.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month is the birthday month. Do not forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have. Even if they have died, do some meditation, and send the good energy to them in their new rebirth. The month is full of energy with the Sun and Mercury in Cancer. Be careful all the month as Mars is square to Mercury, stimulating aggressive thought patterns. That translates into excessive mental energy. You could suffer from strong ‘cabin fever’ because of the virus restrictions. This is stimulated by Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn all opposite the Sun in Cancer. Do not exaggerate your situation. We are all together in experiencing the virus. Basically, enjoy the month as best as you can, that is putting emphasis on your Buddhist wisdom and compassion, not on your astrology.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month go slowly, enjoy the small moments of happiness when they arrive.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month is the birthday month. Do not forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have. Even if they have died, do some meditation, and send the good energy to them in their new rebirth. This month starts quietly with no strong aspects but by the 20th you will start to have good feelings. The Sun will be well aspected by Venus and Mars. Venus and Mars are happy when well aspected to each other, that is affection and will power. Plan on doing something fun in the last ten days of July. Most of us are under restrictions because of the virus, hopefully by then the situation will be better.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month the energy expresses affection in an abundant manner so practice Immeasurable Joy, the thought that may all sentient beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
The month has wonderful inspirations. You have Jupiter in Capricorn with a good aspect to Neptune which is opposite to Virgo. That stimulates joy and visions. Good time to meditate on altruism and Bodhicitta. It is the summertime and so enjoy the weather and activities. Be a friend to everyone. As the month closes this will shift to illusory desires that you need to avoid. The reason is Venus comes square Neptune and Virgo. In the last ten days do not exaggerate some fantasy into a misunderstanding. That does not mean you cannot be positive and joyful; it just means you have to be careful of misunderstanding situations.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month is a good time to be active and to help others accomplish their goals. Be careful of how much energy you expend but know that you have great ability to be helpful.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you must slow down. Sun, Mercury are square with an opposition to Mars. You will find satisfaction is not easy to attain. Just go slowly and be mindful. It is a great month to do a retreat. You will gain insights that are not easily available all the time, especially about desire and satisfaction. The Tibetans say, “One with many desires knows little satisfaction.” This astrological effect will last the whole month and then things will start to improve for you.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month go slowly and be mindful and reflective. It is a great month to have realizations that strike close to the bone. The Zen bones of reality.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month things are going well. The Sun and Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn all support you from a distance. You do have Uranus opposite to Scorpio and that means having energy to accomplish great things. The reason is all the supportive aspects from the other well-placed planets. Basically, do whatever you please, just make sure it is of virtue and possibly for the benefit of more than yourself. There is much you can do with a positive motive.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month be positively passionate. That means be passionate about your positive activities.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month Sagittarius is empty but with good aspects to Mars and Venus, and that lasts all the month of July. Therefore, plan on doing nice things for others within the restrictions of the virus. Good will and the wish to help others still needs to be careful. Do not put yourself in vulnerable situations because you are trying to be helpful. You are happy and that is good. Share the happiness as best seems possible.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month be clear minded about your motivation. A good motivation can transform any situation. Remember the 7 Point Mind Transformation text that says, “Bring all to the Path.”
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month slow down and meditate the whole month. Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn are in your Sun sign. That is a great opportunity to be reflective and contemplative about your deep feelings and desires. Do not have many ambitions, just be peaceful and wise. This month you are applying your meditative abilities to limit the distractions of errant desires. The virus situation complicates things but with these aspects you have a good opportunity to meditate and deepen your spiritual intentions.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month do just that. There is no more to say!
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month you are empty of planets and even of strong aspects. You do have Uranus benefiting you but that just adds a quality of spontaneity to your activities. Remember that astrology is only an influence and that your motivation with your wisdom, compassion and awareness are far more important. These astrology reports are like a weather report, they just tell you to take an umbrella or put on sunscreen. If you are aware you do not need to be told to do those things.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month make your intelligence strong. Use it in productive activities.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month continues with good spiritual insights. The reason is Neptune is nicely positioned in Pisces and will be well aspected by Jupiter and Pluto by the end of the month. Neptune in Pisces is good for intuition and visions and the Jupiter aspect will energize that possibility. Therefore, focus on Bodhicitta and Mahamudra (Tzok Chen) meditations. Remember, meditation cycles go up and down and, in this case, it looks like an upward cycle for you. In other terms, it is sunny weather, do something and enjoy the supportive environment.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month work at the Perfection of Wisdom. Remember, joy in positive actions, reinforces them more than any other emotion.
