July 2025
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month the first event is the Sun and Jupiter are conjunct and stressfully aspected to Aries. This will apply strongly in the first week and then slowly diminish. That will mean a sense of intensity and the wish for control is in the background of your mind. This subtle feeling will decrease as the month continues and by the last week of July you will feel great again. So July is not your strongest month but your awareness and wisdom will keep things under control.
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 starts with a bang. Uranus and Venus are conjunct for the first few days. That means a high sense of pleasure and foolishness. If you are not mindful it could turn into chasing desires or doing something inappropriate. 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 starts slowly but by midmonth things will pick up. Venus and Uranus will enter your sun sign in the last ten days. So, postpone plans until about tenth and then start to work for your goals. All should go well if you plan carefully and ask for help when necessary. There are no bad aspects for you in the these movements, so provided you are wise and skillful, all is good.
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 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 the Sun and Jupiter transit through Cancer. That means you are full of good energy and generosity. By the middle of the month this effect will disappear and you will have to rely on your inner skills to maintain the charisma you had built up during the first two weeks.
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. So 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. Mercury will be running retrograde though, so be careful of your thoughts. Astrology will not ruin your activities, but if you are not mindful and intelligent, you could make some intellectual errors. Use your wisdom and compassion each day.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month you have lots of energy to express yourself, so be mindful of what your say. You will inspire the people you talk to, so inspire them carefully.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month you have Mars in your sign and for the full month it will run with good aspects from the Sun and Jupiter. Therefore, you have a huge amount of energy but are possibly scattered. Slow down, breath 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 slow down or you will feel very unsettled and busy without a focus.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you have support from other parts of the chart where the Sun, Saturn, Nepture,Venus and Mercury will assist you for most of August. Therefore, be graceful and pleasant. You like to act that way 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 you 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 there are no planets in Scorpio, but you have good aspects from the Sun and Jupiter. Jupiter will make you feel upbeat and with the brief time the Sun is conjunct, you will feel very good. This is in the first days of July. Don’t be fussy and you will do very well. Contentment is a virtue especially if you are a meditator.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month do what I suggest above. There is not much else one can suggest. Although samsara is samsara, unless you collect a mountain of good karma you will have good and bad days occasionally. That is not astrology, that is life.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
The month is quiet for you. No planets are in your sign and the aspects are all reasonable. Saturn and Neptune are well aspected from Aires, and so your meditations should be good. Do both contemplative meditations (the meaning of life) and some quietude meditations too. That is a good practice for all us Buddhists.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month be full of good energy and share it with the world around you.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Feelings are important as Pluto is in your sign for ages to come. This month Pluto sits well positioned with the Sun in the later part of the month. That means your deep feelings and your faith (what I consider a deeper feeling) are peaceful. Enjoy the depth of your being and be at peace with yourself. Harmonize with your Buddha Nature. There are many deep realizations awaiting you there. I always like to emphasize that your awareness and wisdom play the main role in your success and happiness. So, exercise your wisdom and compassion this month. 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)
This month you have Mercury opposite your Sun sign. That can mean some confusion as Mercury is running retrograde most of July. This month you may feel a little drawn or pulled by others who have power and influence. You are 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 must make decisions that suit your needs and not that just please others.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month your thoughts are powerful, 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 you are prone to being agitated. The reason is Mars is opposite your Sun sign. Slow down and checkup periodically what your body, speech and mind are doing. Because Mars can be spontaneously energizing, it is important to not be impulsive. Just be mindful and you will do fine. Remember your Bodhicitta motivation each morning and act with sensitivity and compassion. That alters all of your plans in the positive direction.
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.
