February 2026
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
The month Neptune and Saturn will be in Aries. It is a good time to meditate and be insightful. Saturn will ground the imagination of Neptune and so practical meditation on one’s practice would be good choice. This will apply for all of February, so enjoy the peace. In March many planets will come into your sign and stimulate you. Astrology is only an influence, in this case use it to be peaceful and thoughtful.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month I would suggest you watch your actions carefully. Be aware of interdependence, both positive and negative environments, and appreciate the positive things that help you, like the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month Uranus in Taurus will have squares from the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Mars. That is a lot of stimulation to the spontaneous nature of Uranus. I would slow down and be careful of rash or impulsive actions. You may feel a rush of exhilaration, just be careful is it not reckless and inappropriate. Astrology only stimulates the environment; your mindfulness and motivation create the situations.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month be present to what transpires in your immediate environment. You are open minded, enjoy it. Be present and compassionate.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month you are free of direct planets in your sign. The Sun, Venus and Mercury all sit square to Gemini though. These are secondary influences. This is not a curse it is more like rainy weather. Astrology is an influence and it only gains access to you if you lack mindfulness. If it was raining today and you forgot your umbrella, you merely get wet. If you were mindful, you took an umbrella. If the aspects are not supportive then just be mindful that you are in samsara. That protects you from agitation. Be a little careful in the last weeks for erroneous ideas as Mercury is square. That will diminish as time passes.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month be friendly and inspirational. Gemini has intellectual capacity, so share your wit and sense of humor with others.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month Jupiter runs in Cancer and has no bad aspects. In fact. the Sun, Mercury and Venus will be well aspected in the last weeks of February. That can mean a nice sense of fun, communication and presence fill you with good energy. Jupiter tends to be a beneficial influence. So be mindful of your actions and don’t jump to conclusions quickly. Your mood will play a significant role in the decisions you make and so keep your emotional life on the positive side of the fence. Do that by appreciating you exist because of your interdependence with the totality of existence. You are 100% interdependent and so offer good feelings and positive actions to all that supports you.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month you are going to practice Bodhicitta in all your actions. Focus on being happy and learn how to express that. Happiness is like gasoline for the Mahayana vehicle. May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month you are empty of planets and have the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars in opposition for a few weeks. That might make you distracted, thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Don’t do that. Just be mindful and compassionate and you will be doing the right thing. Life is much more than astrology and for you, the skies are empty at this time.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month look at the world with the eyes of a yogi/yogini. Keep your vision on the grand scheme of things, not the little details.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month starts quietly and then the Sun, Mercury and Venus will come opposite your sign to give you positive insights into the nature of life. This effects you in the last weeks of the month. As you arrive at the last three weeks it is good to have a positive context for your life. Your mindful awareness of Bodhicitta and Mahamudra keeps you in a positive flexible position.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month keep an eye on your moral conduct so you don’t feel bad with unskillful actions you might make. Remember guilt is a double negative whereas regret helps you avoid the problem in the future.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month it is good to meditate more than you might normally. Neptune and Saturn are opposite to your Sun sign. This is a good aspect for introspection and contemplative meditation. The nice aspect is the Sun, Mercury and Venus are well aspected in the first weeks of February. Therefore, be friendly and helpful but without expectations of thanks. Libra individuals can be well balanced, that is balanced between the pain of samsara and the liberation of nirvana. Exercise that balance and know this is what regular life is like.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month be careful of how strongly you express affection, it could cause some people to misinterpret your warmth.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month slow down a little. The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus sit square your Sun sign and so you might get confused. Be mindful of information you are fed by others. It could stimulate you into action, but the activity does not accomplish what you want. Slow down and listen carefully and think twice before acting. This will only last for the first weeks of February, and then you will feel much better. The reason is the Sun, Mercury and Venus will move into Pisces and be harmoniously aspected.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month be careful of feeling frustrated. You are prone to seeing obstacles where they don’t exist. Granted samsara is an obstacle to true happiness so don’t worry, just be realistic about what you do.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month has the Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus well aspected for the first weeks of February. The Sun and Venus are beneficially positioned to help you feel good. So, use your intuition and intelligence to deal with the situations you encounter this month. As the month concludes slow down and be careful of what you decide to do. The Sun, Mercury and Venus will be square to Sagittarius. Just be mindful of what you plan to do and all will be fine.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month don’t plan anything too grand. Just focus on the simple things in life and be of benefit wherever you find yourself.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month you are free of planets and have Jupiter opposite, giving you enthusiasm to be of benefit. The Sun, Venus and Mercury later will come into Pisces in the last weeks and add to your good feelings. That means good energy and confidence. Be mindful of what you do and don’t get ahead of yourself. Your enthusiasm is good; it just needs to be managed well. Shamata types of meditation are good to keep things balanced and in proportion to the situations.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This time your mind is working overtime with good energy. Therefore, slow down and meditate on peace and “May all sentient beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.” Those two things will keep you balanced.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month it is your birthday. Give a present to your parents, they deserve it as they gave you this rebirth. The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus run smoothly in Aquarius till the last week of February when they enter Pisces. You should feel great, and so just be yourself, be friendly and helpful. Your sign makes you a sociable person, so exude that with your practice of love and compassion.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month universal responsibility is so obvious to you 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 blessing to others, but also can be a weapon that inflames situations.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month is your birthday. Give a present to your parents, they deserve it as they gave you this rebirth. 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. The Sun, Mercury and Venus will come into your Sun sign during the last weeks. Be careful of over emphasizing your point of view. Mercury can cause you to have too many ideas of what is best for everyone in your life. Use your wisdom to review the insights you experience. Radical change upsets people, so do it with grace and poise.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month all that falls by the wayside and you are inspired to change things. It may be on a personal level or it may be in your immediate environment. Be mindful of the impact you have on others and don’t forge ahead without being thoughtful first.
