March 2021
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month is the birthday month. Remember to say thank you to your parents, the cooperative cause for this rebirth. Appreciation and care are good qualities, and your parents are the first that receive this as your birthday happens. Even if they have passed on to another rebirth, you can send your good wishes to them in meditation and prayers. This month starts slowly as you are empty of planets. Come the last weeks of March and the Sun and Venus will enter Aries and bestow blessings of energy and love. This is well aspected with Saturn and Mars, so from the point of view of astrology, things are good. Remember, you still need to have wisdom and compassion in your actions, astrology does not guarantee success whereas your wisdom, compassion and mindfulness do guarantee you are in control of what happens.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. The motivation is to use your suffering as a cause of better practice. Although we might not see overt suffering in our lives, it is the subtle things we need to be more aware of if we wish to gain enlightenment.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month you have Uranus running squared by Saturn. That means you could be argumentative or opinionated. Be careful of over emphasizing your point of view. Some of the things we think, and feel may be accurate but that does not mean it applies to everyone. Use your wisdom and compassion to review what you will do and say. Remember astrology influences you according to the environment you are living in. Those in the northern hemisphere are awakening to spring. Therefore, think deeply about what motivates you and implement it as spring manifests.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month basically do positive activities you wish to be involved in. There are no problems except the ones you make for yourself by not being mindful.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month starts with no problems from astrology, but by midmonth it all turns around and can be complicated. The problem is the Sun is square to Gemini plus Mars is being squared by Mercury. Just be mindful of your sensitivity. Do not overreact to situations and avoid getting into arguments with others. Basically, this month is not difficult, just be mindful of what you do and say. Use the Buddhist idea of “Peace in every step.”
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month your mind may be overactive for the last two weeks. Do calm abiding meditations. You are always in control if you exercise your mindfulness and wisdom.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month in the first two weeks the Sun, Venus, Uranus and Neptune all support you from the distance. This will add energy, affection, and insight to your activities. Pluto is opposite Cancer but not in bad aspects, so this merely added faith and depth of feeling to your Dharma practice. Basically, enjoy yourself. The last week of March could be problematic if you are not mindful as the Sun and Venus will come square to Cancer. All these aspects are minor though, so just have a positive motivation and be mindful.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month do activities that are positive and beneficial for others. That is not astrological advice. That is just plain “good Dharma advice.”
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month you have Saturn and Jupiter opposite your sign. That can add good skills to your activities as they both give energy and contemplativeness to you. Do be careful though as Saturn is squared by Uranus and that effects Leo. It means you could be opinionated or stubborn. The effect will last all month but with a good level of mindfulness and wisdom/compassion, you have nothing to worry about. Mindfulness is the Buddhist protection against suffering and delusion.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month practice mindfulness in all actions. Cultivate awareness that benefits both you and others. An enlightened motivation guarantees success, even if there is failure in some actions.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month you have no planets in Virgo, but the Sun, Venus and Neptune are helping you from Aries. What is excellent is the increase of altruism with the aspect of Neptune. I would recommend some forethought about what projects you wish to start. You have a lot of imaginative energy and could overextend yourself. This applies because of the Sun’s placement in opposition. Therefore, be mindful of what you wish for, as it might be more than you can handle.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month be mindful of your enthusiasm, it could make too much work for you. If you manage the energy well then you will feel happy as the month goes by.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month the main thing is the Sun and Venus will come opposite Libra. That happens in the last two weeks of March though, so prior to that time organize your activities. A good motivation always establishes good situations. Reason is a mindful attitude of your desires can eliminate errors in your activities. This time is benefited with a good aspect from Mars so basically things from an astrological point of view are good. Slow down and think about what is important in your life and stabilize those goals.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month be peaceful, contemplative, and friendly. It balances the desire to run in unproductive directions.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month we continue with Saturn squaring Uranus and Scorpio. The Uranus opposition to Scorpio means lots of energy and spontaneity but the Saturn square can cause complication to your wishes. This is a good month to continue with calm abiding meditations. Add to this some contemplative meditations and you will benefit a great deal. Remember that distractions are because of lacking mindfulness, not because of external situations. If you only focus on controlling the external world then you will never solve your problems. Inner wisdom and compassion help you manage all situations.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you have great meditative energy. Be mindful of your desires and slow down. The grass is green where you are, you just have to recognize it.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month starts slowly but ends with lots of energy. That is because the Sun, Venus and Mars will come well aspected in the last two weeks and be supportively to Sagittarius. This will only last for ten days though and so utilize the energy to do good things. The first two weeks plan your activities well and then implement them in the last weeks. Astrology is an influence, but you are the creator of your life. Astrology can help you but you are in command of the direction you move in.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month be mindful and happy. Recognize how to use your wisdom to deal effectively with emotions. Every moment has the opportunity to awaken new realizations.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month has deep and strong emotions. Pluto is moving slowly through Capricorn and finally moved out of conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn. Your feelings can be of assistance to your Dharma practice, and in this case practices like Guru Yoga and love and compasson. Remember that astrology is not the only source of stimulation in your life. Your attitude and mindfulness are far more important and create the actual life you live. Astrology only stimulates the attitude you are maintaining.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This time be at peace with yourself, you have a lot of power in your feelings you need to use correctly.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month you start with a great mind as Mercury is stimulating you. To this is added Jupiter and Saturn traveling though Aquarius. You have a great opportunity to accomplish good works for the benefit of others. The month ends with love and affection as the Sun and Venus stimulates you. Therefore, read and do contemplative meditations for the first ten days and then shift over to activities that express your love. This is how a Buddhist can use astrology as an addition to their general practices.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month contemplate the meaning of life and then express it with great affection. Great time for insights, not superficial ones, deep ones.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month is the birthday month. Remember to say thank you to your parents, the cooperative cause for this rebirth. Appreciation and care are good qualities, and your parents are the first that receive this as your birthday happens. Even if they have passed on to another rebirth, you can send your good wishes to them in meditation and prayers. This month you have Neptune in your sign for many years to come and that is good for your idealism and spirituality. Use the whole month to real focus on your spiritual practice. Reason being the Sun and Venus are well aspected to Neptune thus giving you wonderful energy. Meditate on Bodhicitta all the month.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month enjoy the birthday party and be full of love. Love and compassion are always good things to wear at any gathering.
