October 2019

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month sees the Sun Mars are opposite your Sun sign. That can mean you feel distracted and unsettled. Added to this is a square from Saturn and Pluto. That will cause a sense of frustration and depression. As Aries likes to be active and motivated, I would recommend you slow down and review your intentions. The month could be full of activities that lack focus if you act without forethought.

Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month slow down and review your motives. Contemplate on meaningful actions and practice mindfulness when distraction arises.

TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month has the feeling of being agitated. The reason is Mercury and Venus are opposite Uranus in your Sun sign. Therefore, slow down and don’t create fantasies about the grass being greener on the other side of the hill. This agitation will be strong because of the Uranus opposition. Double up on your mindfulness and be careful of your motivation. Astrology is only an influence but if you lack mindfulness it has more impact on you.

Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month your mind is excited with possibilities. It is a good month to meditate on Bodhicitta, the ultimate altruistic attitude. Your enthusiasm can be channeled in good directions if you are careful.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month life is comfortable. Jupiter is opposite your Sun sign and aspected to Neptune. Therefore, do activities that you enjoy and know the stars are on your side. It is like having good friends that support what you do. What is special for you is altruism. That is because of the aspect with Neptune. You can easily imagine and feel the wish “May all Sentient Beings have happiness and its causes.” Be careful of creating fantasies, that is unproductive ambitions that cannot be realized. The Four Immeasurables are not fantasies, they are good wishes for the benefit of all.

Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month go with the flow of virtue and create lots of positive karma. While the weather is sunny make hay, when the circumstances are good, create good karma.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month go slowly. Pluto and Saturn are opposite to Cancer and squared by the Sun and Mars. Basically, do small actions that have a higher possibility of success. Big events might become complicated for you. These aspects are not the end of the world but if it is raining and you have an umbrella you don’t get wet. If you are mindful you don’t have problems.

Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective and patient. Patience is a wonderful virtue and Saturn gives you a blessing this month. Patience comes from understanding that aggression is not the best way to resolve issues. Compassion is a far better way to deal with all situations. It helps both you and others.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month you are free of direct planetary influences. You will have the Sun and Mars moving through Libra and giving you supportive energy. As with all primary and secondary influences, they mean nothing if we don’t use them skillfully. Therefore devote yourself to virtuous activities and have a good motivation to benefit all sentient beings. Then irrespective of the astrology, you are doing something right.

Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month motivate yourself to meditate more than you normally do. There are times for change and there are times for contemplation. This is the time for contemplation and the organization of your life’s ambitions.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month no planets are in Virgo. Mars is just at the top end of Virgo but quickly moving into Libra. So you are free to do as you wish. You will have good secondary aspects from Venus and Mercury as the month continues. These add a nice quality of love and intelligence to your actions. The main thing though is to be positively motivated and kind to others. You don’t need astrology for that.

Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month do as is suggested above. Be a good person doing helpful things.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to send a card to your parents to thank them for this rebirth. If they have passed away then do a meditation in deep appreciation of the rebirth they gave you. Even if life has been complicated, the main thing is you have the Dharma. You will find the month has a dissatisfying aspect to it. You have the Sun and Mars in Libra, but both will be squared by Saturn and Pluto. Just be careful what you motivate to accomplish and do it slowly and carefully. Astrology does not destroy happiness. If it is raining, take an umbrella and you can still enjoy a nice walk in the park. Your awareness, wisdom and compassion are the most important aspects of your life.

Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. The balance this month is between activity and thoughtfulness. You will be active at month’s end so be thoughtful now, that gives you balance later this month.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to send a card to your parents to thank them for this rebirth. If they have passed away then do a meditation in deep appreciation of this rebirth they gave you. Even if life has been complicated, the main thing is you have the Dharma. This month you feel more and more energetic as the month progresses. Mercury and then Venus are in your sign during October. So be mindful of where your thoughts lead you and use them in a positive manner. You have affectionate intelligence, a nice quality. Maybe write some poetry. It is a good time to do something while you have the energy.

Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month your mind is active so organize your thoughts around what makes you passionate in a positive manner. The best of passions is the passion for Bodhicitta and to be a bodhisattva.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month you are enthusiastically energized. The month starts with exaggerated visions. Reason is Jupiter squares Neptune. That does not mean problems but if you have strong fantasies you might overestimate your capacity. You will feel a more clear form of enthusiasm as the month ends, the square will disappear.

Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month your inspiration is to be friendly and idealistic. Remember the definition of love, it is the wish to give others happiness. I wise person once said, “Love is nothing until it is given away.”

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month there are some distractions from Saturn and Pluto receiving a square aspect from the Sun and Mars. This will happen most of the month. 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. The month will be fine with that in virtue in place.

Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month be mindful of the suffering nature of samsara. That keeps you in balance as often we like to think our samsara should only get better and better. This is not the nature of samsara, so don’t rely on it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month is calm and quiet. You have good aspects for positive enthusiasm. The Sun and Jupiter are positively positioned to Aquarius all of the month. Midmonth expect your energy to grow more and more. This will enhance your spiritual inspiration as a Bodhisattva. The reason is Mars will be well aspect to Aquarius at that time.

Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month you have broad vision of life and a sense of joy. Be mindful of your perspective. The perspective of a Bodhisattva is the best of all visions.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month Mercury, Saturn and Venus are well aspected to Neptune in Pisces. Venus stimulates love and pleasure. Mercury and Saturn stimulate thoughtful contemplation. The Venus aspect to Neptune will stimulate romantic thoughts. Be careful of being fussy about activities you are engaged in. You have good support from these aspected planets but your wishes might be too grand. Be thoughtfully affectionate, that is the best any Bodhisattva and do.

Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month know you are motivated with a strong love. Balance it with intelligence when dealing with others.
