November 2024
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
The month of November has Mercury well aspected to Aries. Mercury is the astrological stimulation to intelligence and communication abilities. This is good for contemplative meditations for an Aries person. Therefore, it is important to have a good sense of ethics and altruism. The ethics means we move in positive directions and the altruism inspires the mind to strive for higher goals. It is a good aspect if you are mindful and meditative.
Aries Buddhists are motivators. This month the Gradual Path to Enlightenment meditations would be beneficial.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
Are you feeling split between the current situation and projections about better scenarios? The Sun runs opposite to your sun sign and to Uranus in Taurus. That energetic situation can stress you and pull you in many directions. This is increased with Uranus in Taurus. I would strongly suggest you go slowly and be mindful. It is only an influence but if you have some delusions of better situations elsewhere you may be fooling yourself. This will diminish as the month progresses as the Sun will move into Sagittarius.
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’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 Jupiter in your sign. Planet transits can be useful for Buddhists. In this case you have lots of energy from planetary stimulation, but that does not mean we do not relax our practice. We can do many positive things irrespective of astrology or other external events. Slow down currently and do more meditation. It is a profound time to reflect on the meaning of your life. Utilize the blessing of having Buddha Dharma in your life, it is not always available.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month act with a loving heart and faith in the 3 Precious Jewels of Refuge. Do plan activities, with a peaceful and thoughtful mind.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month planets support you in Cancer and from other signs. The Sun and Neptune are all beneficially positioned with Mars just completing movement in Cancer. 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. The effect on you will diminish in the last weeks of November and so utilize it while the beneficial stimulation is present.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month the feelings are motivational. 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 at first. You do have the Sun and then Mars giving you good energy. Your sign is active and with Mars entering Leo, the feelings of wanting to accomplish many tasks can arise. Be mindful in your motive and you can easily control this influence. If you have a situation where activity is necessary, these aspects could be useful but one still must be mindful of aggression. That will totally shift in the last days of November as the Sun and Mars come supportive to your sun sign of Leo.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month organize your plans and execute them skillfully. That is the activity of a Bodhisattva.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month you have no planets in Virgo. What that means is you are free to move in any positive direction. You do have Saturn opposite Virgo and this is good for meditation and stability. Buddhists benefit from Saturn aspects if they are mindful and ethical. The reason is Saturn likes that type of energy and thus benefits the practitioner. Astrology is only an influence, your wisdom, compassion and mindfulness are the real creator of situations.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month you are busy and possibly rushing to get things done. Slow down and organize yourself before you step out the door to start the day.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month things are quiet for all of November. In the last ten days of the month the Sun and Mars will start to stimulate you. The best idea is be meditative and contemplative in the first three weeks and then engage in activity in the last week. Basically, be mindful on a daily basis 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 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. Don’t chase unattainable desires, that will be problematic for you.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This is your birthday month, and the Sun is in Scorpio. This is the fire element in 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. The positive influence of the Sun will only last for three weeks, so utilize that effect while it is present.
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. The Sun will transit through Sagittarius in the last ten days of the month. Utilize this influence in your daily meditations and activities. Even if you simply sit down and meditate for a brief moment, you will initiate the blessing from this influence. It is the inspiration to be positive and act on those intentions. You have power, use it well. 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 before you act. Remember a compassionate heart is a great source of motivation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month Pluto will have two aspects stimulating it. First Mercury will stimulate positive feelings of sincerity and faith. Later in the month the Sun and Mars will come into positive aspect with Pluto and stimulate more intense feelings of faith and dedication. Be mindful of agitated feelings and you will avoid acting out frustrations. Virtuous mindfulness stops even bad astrological aspects. Be confident in your own clarity and positive feelings. Be the Bodhisattva that benefits all sentient beings.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate decisions. This month go slowly and do good works. Basically your faith is a mainstay for your practice and so use it well.
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. Saturn is moving slowly in your sign, and this will stimulate Aquarius with contemplative reflections. That means you are introspective. Therefore, just sit back, be quiet and contemplative and gain insights into the suffering nature of samsara. It will all of November.
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 Mercury, Mars and the Sun will be well aspected to Neptune in Pisces. This positive effect will only last for short periods of November. Mercury stimulates thoughts and communication. The Sun will stimulate energy and determination. As the month progresses the Sun and Mercury’s effects will diminish and then you will benefit from the clarity of your Buddhist practice. If you have a good contemplative practice this helps mental clarity on the Path. Meditation is not just being peaceful; it also needs intelligence. Neptune adds spiritual insight to your daily life.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month stabilize your practice with a clear altruistic motivation and know it is beneficial irrespective of periodic times of confusion. Your altruism is inspired in the first weeks, stabilize it to help you pass though the last weeks of November.
