    April 2021

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) The month is powerful with spring energy and your birthday.  Think about honoring your parents this birthday instead of expecting presents from them.  They gave you a body, so say thank you to them for the rebirth you currently enjoy.  As for planetary influences, the Sun, and Venus start the month by inspiring you.  That means love, affection and pleasure are on your side.  The downside is Pluto will square both just after the first week.  You many feel strong mood swings during this time.  If you enjoy passion, it will be a good transit, if you wish to be peaceful, do more quietude…

    March 2021

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month is the birthday month.  Remember to say thank you to your parents, the cooperative cause for this rebirth.  Appreciation and care are good qualities, and your parents are the first that receive this as your birthday happens.  Even if they have passed on to another rebirth, you can send your good wishes to them in meditation and prayers.  This month starts slowly as you are empty of planets.  Come the last weeks of March and the Sun and Venus will enter Aries and bestow blessings of energy and love.  This is well aspected with Saturn and Mars, so from the point of…

    February 2021

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) The month you are empty of planets, but you have a huge boost from Aquarius.  There are five planets there now all well aspected to Aries.  So, do anything you wish to and know astrology is on your side.  Granted, astrology is only an influence and you still must exercise wisdom and compassion in your decisions.  Remember, as a Buddhist, our awareness, wisdom, and compassion are the real creators of our experience of life, everything else is just an influence. Aries Buddhists love to be motivators.  This month do as you please with a good motivation to benefit all. TAURUS (April 20 May 20)…

    December 2020

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month has an interesting mix of passion and confusion.  Mars is in Aries right now is running square to Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn.  That can mean rash emotional expression.  Be careful of exaggerating your desires and feelings into something that is inappropriate.  In the last ten days the issue is confusion.  Pluto strongly square Mars.  This can mean rash emotional decisions.  Slow down, think about what you wish to do and make sure it causes no harm to others.  There is a small possibility your health could be upset during this time.  Astrology does not cause illness but if you have some seeds…

    November 2020

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month you have Mars in Aries and only with one event, an opposition to Venus.  It will only happen in the last ten days of November.  Therefore, this month meditate and contemplate more on the meaning of the Dharma and the significance of your life.   You have good energy (Mars) and the aspect of Venus can stimulate an expressive love for all.  A good question to ask is, “What legacy am I leaving behind me?”  This helps organize your intentions for the future.  Do not chase after desires, which could happen, rather be satisfied with your life and express generosity and affection.  That…

    October 2020

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month sees the Sun opposite Mars Aries with a square to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn.  That can mean you feel distracted and unsettled.  This is even stronger for you because Mars is retrograding in Aries, so expect the unexpected.  What can help is Saturn’s assistance in contemplative meditations.  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.  Best would be to postpone big projects and just tidy things up for the winter.   Aries Buddhists love to be motivators.…

    September 2020

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month I would be careful.  You have Saturn and Pluto Squaring Mars in the first weeks of September.  Then Mars will go retrograde and be even more square Saturn and Pluto plus an opposition to Mercury.  This is not the end of the world.  Whatever your current situation is, these influences are adding to it.  Go slowly, do not be frustrated if contracts and negotiations take a long time.  There are two factors, one is the situation itself, which is not astrology, and then there is the influences on you, which are both your awareness, wisdom, and compassion, plus a push from astrology. …

    August 2020

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month is very energizing.  Reason is Mars is squared by Jupiter, which means enthusiasm strongly effects your will power.  As the month continues Saturn and Pluto will come square to Mars in Aries, which means more problems.  Mostly intense feelings are pushing you.  So slow down and don’t let circumstances dictate how you respond.  Basically, do whatever seems appealing and always motivate with a good heart.  Irrespective of what is going on astrologically, you always have control of your own motivation. Aries Buddhists love to be motivators.  This month motivate to be clear minded and full of good will.  The more you study…

    July 2020

    ARIES (March 21 – April 19) This month you have the Sun and Mercury running square your sign for all the month.  This is complicated by Mars in Aries being directly hit by the Mercury square.  Be careful of angry thoughts and bad communication skills.  Take into consideration the summer has started, it is hot, and you might want to relax.  These aspects basically mean you should have no expectation of what will transpire as the month progresses.  Be open-minded.  What you want and what you get might differ slightly.  If you involved in debates or legal matters you will be aggressive, which might be useful?  Just use the energy…
