May 2023
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Jupiter transits nicely in Aries and with a good aspect to Venus. Just be a little careful as Mars is square to Jupiter and that could make you rash or impulsive. Do not chase desires. Remember, astrology is only an influence, and it manifests dependent on the current attitude and circumstances of your life. Therefore, whatever you might have as an issue at this time may surface strongly. In positive terms this transit could motivate you constructively. The important question is, “Are you aware of yourself and your personal intensity?” If you filter your feelings with wisdom and compassion, then things should be fine.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. Be mindful of what issues or opinions you believe in strongly. You might overwhelm others with your intensity. Use skillful means to motivate yourself and others.
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 two weeks are strong as Uranus will conjunct the Sun. This can mean enlightening experiences or life is a little crazy. Just be mindful of ride the wave or unexpected happenings. In the last two weeks improve as the Sun moves forward and gets a good aspect with Neptune. This means you have good imaginations and altruism. Enjoy it after the busy first two weeks.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month show your positive qualities and share your positive ideas. As the month progresses slow down focus on compassionate projects.
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 starts quietly as no planets are in Gemini. In the last ten days the Sun enters Gemini and has a good aspect with Neptune. That means your imagination is strong. What balances this is a square with Saturn, which means common sense pervades your flights of fantasy. Enjoy an astrological increase to your intelligence and imagination.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month attend classes, study and if you are a teacher, share your wisdom.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month is nice, Venus enters Cancer. Love and affection will abound. Just be careful of chasing desires, as Venus like beautiful things and might pursue them too strongly. It all depends on your attitude naturally. Pluto will come into an opposition with Mars in the last weeks, which is the reason your desires might get stronger. It is a good aspect for power and willfulness, but not for chasing desires. Remember, astrology is only an influence, and it manifests dependent on the current attitude and circumstances of your life. Therefore, whatever you might have as an issue at this time may surface strongly. In positive terms this transit could motivate you constructively. The important question is, “Are you aware of yourself and your personal intensity?” If you filter your feelings with wisdom and compassion, then things should be fine.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month you could be a powerhouse of benefit. The power is love and affection for others. You have lots of those feelings, just motivate correctly and everything will be fine.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month starts with a lot of power. Mars enters Leo but has an opposition with Pluto. Pluto stimulates deep feelings and Mars wants to act on those feelings. Just make sure your motives are suitable for the situations and all will be fine. Sometimes astrology can benefit us with supportive energy but it is still our responsibility to do the right things and cultivate our inner wisdom and compassion. This can last the whole month and that means maintain a good sense of mindfulness.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month organize the vision or idealism of your life. What legacy would you like to leave to the world? Be a true bodhisattva and offer benefit and bliss to all. That is an excellent legacy that brings happiness to everyone.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month you are empty of planets but have a Saturn opposition and the Sun, Mercury and Uranus all aspected to Virgo. These planets are in other earth and water signs but they support you beneficially from a distance. This can help your dharma practice. The world is a dynamic place, and you have positive dynamics, so do something constructive with your inspiration and compassion this month.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month your energy is released and free. Be mindful to not be so courageous that you hurt yourself or shock others. Always balance enthusiasm with wisdom.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you are empty of planets and just finishing a Jupiter opposition. That can mean you start the month with enthusiasm but end it with a dead battery. I mean your start well but run out of energy. Just be mindful of good intentions and actions and all will be fine. Remember, astrology is only an influence, and it manifests dependent on the current attitude and circumstances of your life. In positive terms this transit could motivate you constructively. The important question is, “Are you aware of yourself and your personal capacity?” If you filter your feelings with wisdom and compassion, then things should be fine.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month you have energy to start things, but can you finish them? Just be mindful how you express yourself. Balance your actions with wisdom and compassion.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month you are a little stressed with things that are out of your immediate reach or control. The Sun, Uranus and Mercury run in Taurus and opposite Scorpio. Basically, focus on one particular goal. Do not spread yourself out in too many directions. If you try too hard you may find you get scattered and lose focus. Just pursue small and simple goals. In the last two weeks things turn around for you with a good aspect with Jupiter. You could see goals more easily achieved in those last weeks.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month relax and don’t follow your desires. Just be peaceful. It takes a clear mind to accomplish a meaningful life, so keep your mindfulness in place.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month starts with Venus stimulating you and then ends with the Sun. Venus will run in Sagittarius for the first week only, giving you love and affection. In the last weeks the Sun will run opposite Sagittarius and stimulate the desire to chase the unattainable. Slow down and don’t try to do too many things. The whole month has a certain level of intensity to it, so being mindful and moving slowly would be good advice. The aspects are not bad, just be clear of your motive and action.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month I would recommend going slowly and being mindful. You will feel the urge to fall deeply in love, slow down. Recognize those feelings and stop yourself. Be mindful that doing something quickly does not always accomplish the goal.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month your ideas about life are intense. Pluto has just left your sign by the smallest amount, and it runs a square to Jupiter and an opposition to Mars. So be mindful of impulsive desires and reckless activity. Although Pluto is not in your sign, it could make you intense about your beliefs. Therefore, slow down and watch your intensity level in all actions. This is a good transit for Guru Yoga as the strong feelings might inspire you constructively to do something like the 100,000 prostrations. If you start though don’t stop when the transit is over.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate decisions. This month do just that. Meditate on mindful awareness of the actions of your body, speech and mind.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month Pluto has just entered your sign by the smallest amount, and it runs a square to Jupiter and an opposition to Mars. So be mindful of impulsive desires and reckless activity. These aspects are stronger in the first weeks of May. Your feelings will be animated, but you can use these in positive directions. Take Guru Yoga for example. It develops stability and confidence in our practice, and Pluto can aid that with a strong feeling. Just use your intelligence as you motivate throughout the month. Common sense is actually wisdom.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month work on your positive feelings and intentions. You have a lot of power available, just use it correctly.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month continues with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. The month starts with good concluding aspects from Mercury and the Sun. That means you feel good as the month starts, at least from the point of view of astrology. In the last ten days be more mindful as the Sun will run square to Saturn. This could cause you to feel obstructed by others. Remember your altruism is a personal motivation and even if others don’t agree with you, that does not mean you should abandon your positive feelings. Saturn is a good planet for Buddhists. It is full of wisdom.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month be active and inspired. Do spend some time thinking about what you want to do first though, that saves time and energy.
