ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
This month has things quieter for you. Jupiter and Uranus are running backwards out of Aries and departing from their opposition to Saturn. Thus you may find things that bothered you in August are diminishing. It is a good time to meditate on the suffering nature of samsara; the reason for this is that, as long as we have delusion, we suffer. The above play of the planets would indicate that if you have some delusions they may appear more obvious.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month be a quiet and introspective individual. Saturn gives birth to wisdom if one is quiet enough to hear the words of wisdom being softly spoken.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
This month starts slowly but by mid-month Mars and Venus will come into opposition to Taurus. That could cause you to feel a certain intensity with your desires. But because this is an opposition, it would be hard for you to fulfill them. I would recommend being mindful of what you wish to obtain and make sure it is reasonable. You could be chasing something attractive but it will always run a little faster than you can.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month do what is in front of you directly. It is a great time to do practical things that involve physical activity. Don't fantasize, as the dreams may upset your equilibrium.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
It is a good month to go slowly. The Sun and Mercury are square to your sign, so you will most likely feel agitated. The agitation could take the form of over-intellectualization. This feeling will grow as the month continues so be mindful of your motivation. A good remedy to an active mind is breathing meditation. Mercury is retrograde, and this means communication is compromised. Mercury's retrograde movement will finish by mid-month and release some mental confusion.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month stop thinking about things and take one subject and meditate on it. Don't jump around too much. Be peacefully thoughtful.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
This is a great month to do simple things. The Sun and Mercury are beneficially aspected to Virgo. Life is influenced by many factors, and this particular month is beneficial for the expression of understanding and communication. Even if Mercury is retrograde, it still stimulates your mind. Your sign can cause you to be a feeling-based person, so slowing down and reflecting on your life would be good.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective and patient. Patience is a wonderful virtue. It increases all virtuous activity and stabilizes existing positive feelings.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
This month it is good to focus on spiritual issues that involve color and sensuality. Your mind and spirit are strong with a Mars, Venus and Neptune trine. Saturn is also well-aspected and this brings contemplativeness to your life. If you keep a spiritual focus then you may find a new dimension to your love, affection and sensuality. Saturn's aspect will give you deeper insights.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month spend more time incorporating color, affection and images into your practice. It is a great month to stimulate the vibrant colors of enlightenment.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
This month is the birthday month. Send gifts to your parents; they deserve them. The ritual of birthdays is all backwards. Our existence is due to the support from our parents and all those before them. Without parents we don't have a rebirth. So show your respect and appreciation. Even if your parents are not nice, they still can receive a 'thank you'. This month, intellectual excitement is your middle name. The Sun and Mercury are stimulating you. It is your birthday month, but that means you have to slow down enough to let it happen. For example, don't miss appointments, it might be a surprise party for you. There is a tendency to rush right by something and miss a wonderful opportunity to have fun.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month slow down and don't try to get everything done in the first week of fall. Let activities unfold as time and space avail themselves.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
This month is the birthday month. Send gifts to your parents; they deserve them. The ritual of birthdays is all backwards. Our existence is due to the support from our parents and all those before them. Without parents we don't have a rebirth. So show your respect and appreciation. Even if your parents are not nice, they still can receive a 'thank you'. This month things start slowly. The reason for this is that Saturn is in your sign, causing you to be more reflective. Saturn's negative effect is to be critical, but that happens if you have a judgmental attitude. To stop this, focus on compassion, both for yourself and for others.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. Balance can mean beauty, so therefore know the middle point between activity and non-activity. It is a very good month to be reflective and contemplative.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
This month, at first you are peaceful, and then active. Mars and Venus will enter your sign by mid-month and make you happily excited. Neptune is well aspected and that can stimulate great visions and idealism. Do more meditations on love and compassion. May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes. May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its causes.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month relax and let things take their own time to manifest. You have vision and enthusiasm, but you may try to move too quickly. Slow down but keep the vision in place.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
It is a good month to go slowly. The Sun and Mercury are square to your sign, so you will most likely feel agitated. The agitation could take the form of over-intellectualization. This feeling will grow as the month continues so be mindful of your motivation. A good remedy to an active mind is breathing meditation. Mercury is retrograde, and this means that communication is compromised. Mercury's retrograde movement will finish by mid-month and release some mental confusion.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month it is better to let your motivation be simple and uncomplicated. Slow down and relax. Suffering comes from expectations. The mind with few thoughts or expectations is often a mind with contentment, especially if you maintain a positive and peaceful attitude.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
It is good to slow down and be mindful, moment by moment. The reason for this is that Pluto is squared by Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus this month. If you have emotional issues, doing lots of tong len meditation can be helpful. Tong len is a giving and taking meditation which helps us broaden our minds and understand that we are not the only ones with issues and suffering. In fact, sometimes we focus too much on ourselves, thus creating more suffering than is necessary. Buddha called this the "suffering of suffering".
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. A time of deep wisdom is here, so enter into this month by developing a deeply thoughtful attitude. You can be an ocean of wisdom, so let the small boat of liberation sail smoothly across the ocean of samsara for the month.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
This month is characterized by visions and daydreams. It is a good time to relax, enjoy the fall season, and reflect on the activities of the summer. Be quiet and mindful. Your dream life may increase if you turn your attention to deeper levels of perception. Mars and Venus are beneficially positioned to give you an affectionate and energetic feeling as you dream.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month your vision is great. Allow yourself to think about the inconceivable. It is a good month to meditate on the "void".
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
The month starts with a sense of excitement that grows and grows. Uranus and Jupiter are entering Pisces for the last bit of stimulation. They will be opposite the Sun at the end of the month. This can mean that plans seem to go astray. Go slowly, and let things unfold in a natural way. As the month closes you may feel agitated, so I recommend that you mindfully relax.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month your sensitivity is agitated. You may be in a rush to prove things to people, and everything seems to go wrong. It is better to slow down. It might seem difficult to say 'no' to agitation at first, but it gets easier as time passes.
