November 2022

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
The month of November is quiet.  The month starts with not much supporting you.  Saturn and Mars are well positioned in other signs, which might help you with meditation in action.  Later in the month you have more energetic help from Venus, Mercury and the Sun.  All in all, enjoy a good month from the perspective of astrology.

Aries Buddhists are motivators.  This month Karma Yoga would be beneficial.  The aspects are distant but helpful for any activities you pursue.  Any project that requires a wisdom and ability is suitable during the whole month.

TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
Are you feeling split between the current situation and projections about better scenarios?  The Sun, Venus and Mercury run opposite to your sun sign and opposite Uranus.   Those are four energetic planets in the zodiac stressing you and pulling you in many directions.  I would strongly suggest you go slowly and be mindful.  Those planets put a lot of pressure on you.  It is only an influence but if you have some delusions of better situations elsewhere, you may be fooling yourself.  Mindfulness and wisdom are your best protection.

Taurus Buddhists are practical.  This month make sure your desires are in check.  You tend to fantasize and do all the wrong things to attain happiness.  Remember Shantideva the great Buddhist saint’s words of wisdom.  “Sentient beings are strange, although wishing happiness they avoid its causes.  Although wishing to avoid suffering they constantly create its causes.”

 

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

This month you have Mars in your sign with a square from Neptune.  Those two planets stimulating you can cause confusion and wasted energy.   Mars wants to do things but the square to Neptune can create illusions that obscure reality.  The aspect can be useful for altruistic feelings, provided you only cultivate them internally.  Wishing all sentient beings to be happy is a positive thought.  How that can be realized is complicated.  Remember to work in small ways although your vision is grand.

 

Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month act with a loving heart and faith in the 3 Precious Jewels of Refuge.  Don’t jump around too much, be peacefully and thoughtful.

 

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

This month four planets support you from other signs.  The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Jupiter are all beneficially positioned.  I would suggest you pursue projects that involve others in virtuous activities.  Be supportive of positive group action and you may find you are able to organize people well.  You often work with your emotions and this month you can give good emotional support to others.

 

Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings.  This month the energies are affection, intelligence, will power and spontaneity.  Mix these feelings with Bodhicitta and you will bring fulfillment to both yourself and others.

 

LEO (July 23 – August 22)

This month no planets are in your sign.  You do have the Sun and Mercury and Venus square your sign and so be careful of stress and hostility.  This will only last for a few weeks.  Your sign is active and with planets square the feelings of aggression or frustration could arise.  Be mindful in your motive and actions and you can easily control this influence.  If you have a situation where activity is necessary, these aspects could be useful, but one still has to be mindful of aggression.

 

Leo Buddhists like to be motivators.  This month just stay home and meditate.  Be organized about your thoughts and meditate on karma, the suffering nature of deluded reality and interdependence.  These meditations will be fruitful for your spiritual progress.

 

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

This month the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Jupiter are well aspected for the first weeks of the month.  I would suggest you pursue projects that involve others in virtuous activities.  As a Virgo you like to organize things in a systematic manner so use this inclination to support dharma activities.  Don’t expect compliments or praise, as that just makes the actions polluted with pride or delusion.  Remember the Perfection of Wisdom, Heart Sutra, nothing is self-existent, all are empty of being isolated, independent phenomena.

 

Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month clarify your motivation and step onto the playing field of life with positive intentions.  A playing field is used for team sports so recognize life is also a team event with you and all sentient beings striving for meaningful happiness!

 

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

This month things are quiet as most of the big planets are in Scorpio or other signs.  Come the last two weeks of November Venus and Mercury will enter Sagittarius and that effect will be beneficial for you.  All month long Mars in Gemini is well aspected to you.  Basically, be mindful daily and have a positive motivation each morning.   Irrespective of astrological influences the two factors of mindfulness and positive motivation will make your life meaningful and fulfilled.

 

Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month it is sunny weather figuratively speaking for the last 10 days, so enjoy the blessings and utilize the good weather to expand your positive feelings.  Life experiences are only a problem if you make them a problem.

 

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

This is your birthday month and the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Scorpio. These are fire element and energy planets of the zodiac.   Go slowly as you have ample energy to draw on. Going slowly ensures actions and thoughts are done skillfully. Don’t forget to send a card to your parents to thank them for this rebirth. Even if they have passed away you can dedicate a meditation or two in deep appreciation of their support.

 

Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you are energetically passionate so manifest it skillfully. Give happiness to others, that is the passion of Bodhicitta and that also brings you much greater personal satisfaction.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

This is your birthday month.  Youi are excitable with a Mars opposition, and later, Mercury, Venus and the Sun will stimulate you.  These planets are true blessings for Buddhists.  Venus for a non-egocentric person stimulates love and affection which are part of the method side of Buddhist practice.  Mars, Mercury and the Sun add power and intelligence to Buddhist practice.  Utilize these influences in your daily meditations and activities.  Even if you simply sit down and meditate you will initiate the blessings from these planets.  Don’t forget to send a card to your parents to thank them for this rebirth.  Even if they have passed away you can dedicate a meditation or two in deep appreciation of their support.

 

Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals.  This month slow down and meditate with a compassionate heart. A mind with few thoughts is often a mind with contentment.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

This month Pluto in your sign is well aspected with Jupiter and Neptune.  The month may start with a good sense of organization and structure.  This is because of a good aspect with Jupiter and that applies all month.  Neptune will give you altruistic feelings and good dreams.  Granted you have to focus on your Bodhisattva path for that effect.  I would suggest you pursue projects that involve others in virtuous activities.  As a Capricorn you like to manage events so use this inclination to support dharma activities.  The stars are on your side and using an analogy of weather, it is sunny.

 

Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month use the supportive energy of astrology to develop dharma programs in your area.  If there are existing groups, get them together for a group endeavor.  If there are no groups then run an ad asking if people would like to start a meditation group.  Be supportive to your community.

 

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

This month you should slow down and watch the melodrama of life unfold.  Samsara is the creation of deluded minds.  If your mind is clear and wise, then you have the causes for liberation and nirvana.  There are two planets squaring Saturn.  Saturn is in your sign with Uranus on one side and the Sun, Mercury, and Venus on the other, all square.  That means you are sensitive to the confusion around you.  Therefore, just sit back, be quiet and contemplative and gain insights into the suffering nature of samsara.

 

Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month put more emphasis on meditation and peacefulness.  It will help you manage your social interactions.

 

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

This month Jupiter and Neptune are stimulating you, with four planets supporting you from other signs.  The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all beneficially positioned.  Jupiter is in your sign gives you a lively nature, and Neptune gives you visions and dreams.  There are few obstacles for you, so pursue activities that benefit others.  It is a good time to be active with all this positive energy radiating from the heavens upon you.  When it is sunny, make hay!

 

Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective.  This month forget about being quiet and sensitive.  Granted you need to be appreciative of others’ feelings, but it is an excellent opportunity to exhibit confidence and good will.  Do the things you often postpone.
