May 2018
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month is wonderful. Uranus is finally leaving Aries after several years of possible turmoil or sudden changes. If for example you got divorced in 2017, life should be calmer for 2018. Mercury is transiting through Aries quickly, bestowing intelligence and communication skills. So look forward to a sense of liberation from confusion with a clear mind understanding it all.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. For this month just double check your motivation. Does it benefit both you and others in a positive manner? That is always a good question to ask.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to thank your mother and father for giving you this rebirth. Even if they were not there for you all the time, still they gave you an opportunity to work out your bad karma and accumulate good karma. The first weeks are good as the Sun is supportively aspected by Pluto and Saturn. This gives you sincerity and wisdom. The third week is good for communication and study as Mercury moves forward in the sign of Taurus.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month show your positive qualities and then share your positive ideas. That’s all anyone could ask of a practitioner.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to thank your mother and father for giving you this rebirth. Even if they were not there for you all the time, still they gave you an opportunity to work out your bad karma and accumulate good karma. This month not much is happening. You have only Venus directly in your sign and so love and affection are available for you. Neptune will square Venus in the second week and that can mean your feelings will play an imaginative role in your decisions. Cultivate positive feelings like Bodhicitta and you will utilize the influence constructively. If you are not aware of your feelings then you may be agitated. Be mindful and work with your feelings in positive ways.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month feelings run strong and so your mind must work effectively with an element where the intellect normally does not go. Be intelligent but also be aware feelings are sometimes stronger than your intellect.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month the first week is quiet and then Venus will enter your sign and run opposite Saturn and Pluto, plus being square to your midheaven. That means your sensual feelings will be very strong for the most of May. Remember that planets are merely environmental influences and you still need to be motivated and have confidence, especially with this type of energy. So be careful of your desires, they may be stronger than usual. Don’t get mislead by them.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month you could be a powerhouse of benefit. The power is there, you have lots of feelings, just motivate correctly and everything should be fine.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month there are some distant things that bother you. Mars is opposite Leo and Uranus squares both of them. That means lots of energy for the whole month. This could make you feel something could go wrong. That is because you are creating negative images. You could also have good execution of activities if you organize yourself in a positive manner. Therefore, use your meditation to bring out the positive aspect of Mars and Uranus with contemplation and quietude.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month don’t push for success, be thoughtful and prudent. Those qualities benefit you well.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month is good with positive aspects from Jupiter and Neptune. I would recommend meditations of love, compassion and the altruistic attitude of Bodhicitta. Those feelings and thoughts will be very easy for you. What can help you expand that energy is the beneficial aspect in the last ten days of May with the Sun. The world is a dynamic place and you have positive dynamics, so do something constructive this month.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month your energy needs good management skills. Be mindful to not be so courageous that you hurt yourself. Always balance decisions with good wisdom.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month is a quiet time. There are 10 planets in our solar system to consider but for Libra all are at odd angles and so just slightly distracting. Mercury will run quickly opposite Libra for the first week, bestowing wisdom and intelligence. Uranus will also finally leave Aries and stop being opposite your sign and causing confusion. Be clear minded and do whatever seems right and there should be no problem.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month just mind your own business and do whatever works easily for you.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month is wonderful. The Sun and Mercury work in harmonious aspects to make things powerful and effective. This is complimented by good aspects from Saturn and Pluto. Granted you must have a good attitude to utilize these aspects. Planets are merely environmental influences and you still need to be motivated and have confidence, especially with this type of energy. The position of the Sun and Mercury can help you think about things more deeply. Work with your contemplative meditations and all should be successful.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month do not allow many tasks to present themselves. You do not have the capacity to accomplish many things. Limit yourself to small ideas.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month you have Venus running in opposition to Sagittarius. Thus it is good to avoid chasing desires and confusing yourself. Better is to meditate on the Four Immeasurables, especially “May all Sentient Beings have Happiness and its causes.” That would be an excellent meditation to practice this month and of course generally all the time. It is the meditation of love and Venus can stimulate your affection for all.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month organize your goals and remember that motivation for the rest of the month. If you forget your motive you may become emotionally confused.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Feelings are still important as Pluto is in your sign for ages to come. This month starts with a nice mix of intelligence. That is because the Sun and Mercury are well aspected to Pluto and Saturn. The month ends with Venus opposite Pluto and Saturn, thus causing some confusion. Know that only focusing on feelings is not beneficial but you can save yourself from extra stress by using your mindfulness to maintain your peace of mind.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This time it is good to act on your decisions. Don’t wait as the good energy will depart soon. Remember impermanence and don’t postpone things.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month Mars will enter Aquarius and bestow strength and power. Bodhisattvas can use that to accomplish great tasks. The last days of May will see the Sun come well aspected to Mars and this increases your abilities. Success relies on clear-mindedness. Don’t let delusions mess your life up. The final decisions are always yours to make, rely on your wisdom and compassion.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month keep an eye on your distracting thoughts and you will not have any problems. If you are forgetful you will find you lose focus and waste a lot of energy and time.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month will be a strong for you. Neptune in Pisces will have support from Jupiter in Scorpio. It is a very good month to do altruistic meditations on love and compassion for all. Bodhicitta is the heart of all Buddhist practices. Jupiter’s influence can be increased if you use Bodhicitta in all your motivations. Positive thoughts are the nature of Bodhicitta, so rely on them in all situations.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month be reflective. Do spend some time thinking about what you want to do first though as that saves time and energy.
