August 2025
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month in the first week is the Sun and Mercury are conjunct and well aspected to Aries. What is interesting is Neptune and Saturn are together and running retrograde in Aries. Interesting mix. You may feel intellectually invigorated with the Sun and Mercury but have some doubts if it will work. The doubts come from Saturn slowing down Neptunes intuition, plus they are going retrograde. August is not your strongest month but all should go well with the support from Leo.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. As it says above, you are mildly empowered so don’t make big plans and all should be fine. If you have special projects, then ask for help from people who are capable.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month one planet and the Sun will square your sign for most of the month. If you are not mindful it could turn into anger. That is the main point with “Buddhist Astrology.” Your mindfulness and awareness play a huge role in your daily activity. If they are in place, then nothing can disturb your equilibrium. If you are not mindful then many errors in judgment can come about.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month just be that grounded and practical. Try to avoid impulsive activity. Think twice before you act.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month you are excitable with Uranus transiting in Gemini. Saturn, Neptune and Mars are well aspected and benefit you. Do not postpone plans in the first weeks but when we arrive at the third week, slow down. Uranus will run square to the Sun, making you feel scattered. All should go well if you plan carefully and ask for help when necessary.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month use your communication skills to invite people to help you. Friends and sangha members are there if you remember to ask.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month you are in a good mood as Jupiter and Venus bless you with grace and an abundance of positive energy. This will last the whole month and so enjoy this direct stimulation to feeling good. You also have to rely on your inner skills to maintain the charisma into the future. You have an astrological blessing, use it well.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be mindful and practice in each moment. That is the life of the Buddha Dharma. You are in a good mood so you will do fine in whatever you undertake.
LEO (July 23 – August 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. Show your respect and appreciation. Even if your parents are not nice, they still can receive a thank you. This month the Sun and Mercury are in your sign giving you a lot of prestige. Saturn and Neptune will add to this as the month continues. They are well aspected in the first week. Enjoy the positive influence you can have on others and inspire them toward virtue. It is a power month for you.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month you have lots of energy to express yourself, so be mindful of what you say. You will inspire the people you talk to, so inspire them carefully.
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. Show your respect and appreciation. Even if your parents are not nice, they still can receive a thank you. This month you have Mars in your sign and for the full month it will run in opposition to Saturn and Neptune. Therefore, you have a huge amount of energy but are possibly scattered. Slow down, breathe peace into each moment and you will do fine. If you are busy, be mindfully busy. It is a good month, just don’t run ahead of yourself.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month slowdown or you will feel very unsettled and busy without a focus.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you have support from Leo where the Sun and Mercury will reside for most of August. Therefore, be graceful and pleasant. By the month end you will have Mars enter Libra and give you a nice boost of energy. You like to act with grace and you may find it flows from you spontaneously. Enjoy the blessing from the planets, it is not always this way.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month know you have lots of positive enthusiasm and things will go well. Just motivate properly and all will unfold perfectly.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month you are empty of planets and have only slight influences from other areas of the chart. By month end the Sun will be well aspected which will give you some energy. Basically do anything you wish to accomplish. There are no astrological issues for you to worry about. Astrology is only an influence, your wisdom and compassion are far more important.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month do what I suggest above. There is not much else one can suggest. Samsara is samsara and unpredictable, but we have the Buddha Dharma to help us navigate all situations.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month Uranus is opposite and can cause you to feel scattered or drawn in unpredictable directions. Slow down, be mindful and relaxed and all will go well. Our practice always supersedes other influences. Harmonize with your Buddha Nature. There are many deep realizations awaiting you there.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month go slowly but know you have deep wisdom inside you which waits to be awaken.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month there are no direct influences. I always like to emphasize that your awareness and wisdom play the main role in your success and happiness. This month exercise your wisdom and compassion. In each action, we realize that many factors of influence help create that moment. Therefore, if you live and express your wisdom and compassion you are bringing the best you can offer to everything you do. This helps things unfold perfectly.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This time take three deep and comfortable breaths before you make a decision. Decisions will never be difficult if you center yourself first.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
You are still a spiritual and deep center in the universe as Pluto is in your sign for ages. This month you may feel a little drawn or pulled by others who have power and influence. You are very sensitive to them and what they say. Be careful and judge their words first before you act. You are a sociable person but not blind. You have to make decisions that suit your needs and not just to please others.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month your deep intuition is great so enjoy it but also be aware of what influences are effecting you. You might end up in the wrong place at the wrong time because of not being mindful.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month Venus and Jupiter are well aspected to Pisces. You have no direct planets in Pisces, so you are free to do as you wish. Jupiter and Venus just add a nice grace to the things you do. Slow down and checkup periodically what your body, speech and mind are doing. That is true Buddhist practice.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month energy is good but also a little overwhelming if you are not mindful, so use it skillfully.
