July 2022
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month you have the Sun running square your sign and Jupiter. That means a lot of energy is being focused on you. Take into consideration the summer has started, it is hot and you might like to relax, but the astrology is saying, “get up and do something”. These aspects basically mean you should have some plans but not over-emphasize them. Be open and without ambitions. It will all change as the month ends and the Sun moves into Leo.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month have no motive except virtue, just be aware in each moment. That is the real practice of mindfulness.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month something karmic may manifest yet again. Uranus is transiting though Taurus and Mars is coming up quickly to join Uranus. Therefore be careful of too much excitement or impulsive actions. Mindfulness protects you from most problems, so exercise it well, especially at the end of the month. This is because Saturn and Mercury will square the Uranus and Mars conjunction.
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 can’t see something does not mean it does not exist. The energy will be strong but you may feel confused.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month there is excitement in your love life but confusion in your mind. The first week has Neptune square Mercury in Gemini, that is the start of confusion, but it ends quickly. Venus sits strongly in your sign during most of the month, and that is your love life (or desires). Excitement is there but you have to make good decisions, not just chase desires. You are sensual and sexual. Just remember to be considerate of others, avoid causing harm.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month be mindful. You are seductive and chatty. That means you must have a clear motivation.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month is the birthday month. Don’t forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have. Even if they have passed away, do some meditation and send the good energy to them in their new rebirth. The month may start inspired with a Jupiter square that stimulates action. By midmonth you should feel more peaceful. Saturn and the Sun will move into a good aspect by months end, so you are full of wisdom and reflectiveness during that time.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month have some plans that you wish to accomplish and end the month being reflective looking at the results of what you did.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Don’t forget to send a present to your parents to say thank you for the body you currently have. Even if they have passed away, do some meditation and send the good energy to them in their new rebirth. This month starts with a sense of urgency. First Saturn is opposite your sign, making you thoughtful, and then the Sun and Mercury enter Leo in the last week making you chatty. So reflect on what message you wish to share with others and then express it skillfully in the last week.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month the energy to do things is there but you may end up with too many ideas. Settle your mind each time you get too visionary. Visions are good but one needs balance to manifest them.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month you are empty of planets but have an opposition with Neptune. That is a good aspect for your altruism. Meditate on universal compassion for all. The vision of Neptune expands your mind and with a Bodhisattva’s attitude, that is a blessing. As Shanti Deva says, “All actions are turned into gold with the elixir of Bodhicitta applied them.” Astrology is only an influence, your motive and mindfulness are most important.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month do meditations that express loving kindness. You are inclined in that direction, so use the energy in a positive manner.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you have to slow down. Sun and Jupter are square and opposite respectively to Libra. You will find trying to accomplish too much is very complicated. 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. You just have to control the impulsiveness to jump off your meditation mat and do something external.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month go slowly, 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 Uranus is opposite to Scorpio but not too agitating. That will change as the month ends and Mars comes opposite and conjunct to Uranus. My suggestion would be tidy things up in the first weeks and then try to relax in the last two weeks. The reason is if you do not tidy things up first, you will tend to throw everything into a mess in the last weeks. It is only an influence, so be mindful and you will be fine. Life is more benefited by trying to accomplish hastily inspired actions.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month be passionate in a skillful way. That means be passionate about your positive activities that are coupled with mindfulness.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Feelings are important as Venus runs opposite Sagittarius. This month starts slowly with a slow growth of affection and love. When you get to the middle of the month you will find your feelings of love, attraction and desire will become very strong. If you have a good attitude, you can dedicate the energy to the benefit of others. That brings your altruistic motive into manifestation with a nice feeling to accompany it.
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 texts, “Bring all to the Path.”
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month slow down and meditate the whole month. Sun and Mercury are opposite your sign and that stimulates a lot of thoughts. Your meditation is to slow down errant thoughts and bring them into the path of Enlightenment. You may have some good realizations of the meaning of the Path. Don’t have many ambitions, just be peaceful, reflective and wise.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month do just that. There is no more to say!
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Saturn is running in Aquarius and that helps meditation and contemplation. Our path is not just sitting peacefully with mindfulness. Yes, we do that but we also reflect on the meaning of our life, and put that into harmony with reality. Dharma is an exposition on the how to make the life meaningful, in fact Enlightened. A good month to both think and then make that deeply part of yourself (meditation).
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month meditate and contemplate. Use it in productive activities.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
You are still a spiritual and visionary center for the universe as Neptune is in your sign for ages. This month the last two weeks are good for romantic thoughts and reflections. The reason is Neptune will run square to Venus. If you are single, don’t fantasize in unrealistic terms. If you are in a relationship, bring spirituality to the relationship. Generate Bodhicitta and share it with your partner. Although the aspect is a square, that does not mean it is harmful. You can turn it into virtue with a good attitude. Like when you sleep, it is meaningless if you set no motive as you go to bed. If you motivate “whomever I meet in my dreams, may I help them.” Then your sleep becomes virtuous.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month work at the Perfection of Enthusiasm. Remember, joy in positive actions reinforces them more than any other emotion.
