Materials on Tibetan Astrology
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
This month Uranus is in Aries, so it would be helpful to remain open-minded for new and different things to happen. Uranus is always a stimulating planet and if one has a rigid attitude then Uranus can be disruptive. If one is open to change then Uranus is a blessing, as it stimulates totally new perspectives on existing situations.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month cultivate good relationships. Meditations on love and compassion are excellent supports to the development of personal good qualities and good friendships.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
This month finds you with great energy and organizational skills. Both Saturn and Neptune are well-aspected to Jupiter, which is in Taurus. This is good for the intuitive restructuring of things. The intuition comes from Neptune and the thoughtfulness from Saturn. Jupiter provides the impetuous to do things. Therefore be mindful, but active.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month be present to what transpires in your immediate environment. Speculation can be useful, as it opens the door new ideas. Be present and compassionate.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
This month things are basically good. The Sun, Mercury and Uranus are all supporting you from a distance. These are secondary influences to help you to be happy and intelligent. Astrology is just an influence, like the weather. This means that right now the conditions are good for you, but you have to be aware of unexpected showers from other aspects of influence in your life. That would be a realistic view of things.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month be friendly and inspirational. Gemini has a strong intellectual capacity, so be mindful of your speech and be supportive verbally of others.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
This month everything seems related to deep feelings. This is very good for developing Guru Yoga practices and faith. The reason feelings are activated is due to Pluto's opposition to Cancer. But Pluto is also well-aspected to Jupiter throughout the month of February, so Jupiter's good energy elevates the deep feelings that stimulate you from Pluto's opposition.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective, emotionally, and do meditations that increase your faith. This is a good month to be mindful of the blessings of having a Guru.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
This month you might have an enlightening moment or two, some time in the first three weeks. The Sun and Mercury are conjunct and in opposition to your sign. This is great for profound insights—provided you are not materialistically focused. This aspect could cause materialists to be confused and full of doubts. People with a spiritual vision will see the expanse of the sky as never before. It only lasts for the three weeks and so keep you spiritual eyes open.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month, strive to perceive the world with the eyes of a yogi/yogini. Keep your vision on the grand scheme of things, not on the little details.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
This month your life could be quite lively, with Neptune running in opposition to your sign. This effect is increased in the third week of February, when the Sun and Mercury also run opposite your sign. Therefore expect life to be full—and unpredictable. If you are open-minded, you may find yourself excited by the progression of events. If you have a defensive attitude or are closed-minded, this aspect might make your life be somewhat unsettling. Be mindful of yourself, as that is the best protection.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month you are running on intuition. But keep an eye on your ethical conduct. If you happen to do something negative, keep in mind that guilt is a double-negative that creates fear and doubt, whereas regret helps you to avoid the conditions for problems repeating themselves in the future.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
This month life seems bearable. Saturn, which is in Libra, sits beneficially-aspected to Neptune, and then to the Sun and Mercury. Be happy and share good feelings. You have a thoughtful nature, and with Saturn's stimulation, that will help you utilize your time to accomplish positive activities.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month life is good, as you have a meditative nature. Do actions that benefit your neighborhood and community. Buddhists should express their positive qualities and influence the world constructively, and this month is an auspicious time for doing that.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
This month, try to slow down a little. The Sun and Mercury are sitting square your sign, and you might get a little confused. Mid-month you may find that your ability to speak and express affection are strong, so focus on being friendly, and all should go well. As Atisha the great Indian saint says, "All suffering can be laid on the doorstep of self cherishing." Don't focus on yourself, but instead, be aware of others and help them.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you have to be careful of confusion. You are prone to creating an illusion about yourself. To maintain perspective, remember that samsara is an illusion too, so you don't need to worry, because everything you do is just relative to the moment and has no ultimately permanence.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
This month should go well for you. The Sun, Mercury, and Uranus are all supporting you from a distance. These are secondary influences to help you be happy and intelligent. Astrology is just an influence, like the weather. This means that right now the conditions are good for you, but you have to be aware of unexpected showers from other aspects of influence in your life. That would be a realistic view of things.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month your enthusiasm is running well. Therefore do positive things and be helpful to others.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
This month everything seems related to deep feelings. This is very good for developing Guru Yoga practices and faith. The reason feelings are activated is because Pluto is in Capricorn and is well-aspected to Jupiter all during the month of February. Therefore Jupiter's good energy elevates the deep feelings that stimulate you from Pluto.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month be mindful of what direction you choose to go in. Faith plays a good role in your activities, so resonate with what you do and you will have a lot of power.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
This month you are the center of the universe. First off, it is your birthday! If your mother is still here, celebrate by phoning her and thanking her for this rebirth. And even if you don't get along with her, she and your father still gave you the opportunity to meet the Dharma and work on your issues. She deserves a hug from you. The Sun and Mercury are conjunct for the first weeks of February. This is increased with a beneficial aspect to Uranus. You close the month with many dreams and altruistic ideas. It is a good time to meditate and pray with a Bodhicitta motivation.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month universal responsibility is so obvious to you that it is hard to understand why everyone is not working for social justice and human rights. Be mindful of your speech; it is both a source of inspiration and also a weapon that inflames situations.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
This month you are inspired as you have never felt before. Initially you don't think anything special will happen this month, but by mid-month all the rules of the game change. Be prepared to become the catalyst of change. Do it skillfully, though. Radical change upsets people, so implement change with grace and poise. Also it is your birthday! If your mother is still here, celebrate by phoning her and thanking her for this rebirth. And even if you don't get along with her, she and your father still gave you the opportunity to meet the Dharma and work on your issues. She deserves a hug from you.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month you are inspired in love and words. So write a poem, some prose, or compose a dharma story. You are happy, witty and intelligent, so enjoy the stimulation while it lasts.
