October 2025
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month starts with the Sun opposite Aries but well aspected by Uranus and Pluto. That can mean you feel energized. The Uranus will give you energy but be mindful of distraction. That is because the Sun is opposite your sign. As Aries likes to be active and motivated, I would recommend you slow down and review your intentions. The month could be full of activities that lack focus if you act without forethought.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month slow down and review your motives. Contemplate on meaningful actions and practice mindfulness when distraction arises.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month is very powerful for you. The reason is Mercury, the Sun and Mars are opposite your Sun sign. They are also well aspected to Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter. Therefore, slow down and don’t create fantasies about the grass being greener on the other side of the hill. This agitation could affect you the whole month and so be aware of your thoughts and actions. It is a powerful month, do not chase fantasies, work with what is in front of you.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month your mind is excited with possibilities. It is a good month to meditate on Bodhicitta, the ultimate altruistic attitude. Your enthusiasm will stimulate growth of your love and compassion.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month life is interesting. Uranus is running retrograde in Gemini, which can cause some confusion for you. It is well aspected at the start of the month by the Sun and Pluto though, which benefits you. Therefore do activities that you enjoy and know the stars are on your side. It is similar to having good friends that support what you do. Just be careful of distracting thoughts. Your mindfulness will protect you.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month go with the flow of virtue and create lots of positive karma. While the weather is sunny, make hay, when the circumstances are good, make good karma.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month starts slowly but will get busy in the last two weeks. With Jupiter in Cancer, you have enthusiasm, but this is greatly increased in the last weeks with aspects to Mars, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune. Basically, start the month with small actions that have a higher possibility of success. Big projects will be easily accomplished at the end of the month that way.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective and with a compassionate attitude. Empathy is a wonderful virtue, and the planets give you a blessing this month. Compassion and love come from understanding that we are all the same in wishing for happiness and wanting to avoid suffering. Compassion is a far better way to deal with all situations. It helps both you and others.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month your sign is empty of planets but well aspected from other signs. The Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto are well aspected to Leo. The best way to use this influence is to do contemplative meditations for the first week and then switch over to just being intuitive with whatever you are involved in. There are few complications to be concerned about. Your positive motivation coupled with intelligence will lead you in good directions.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month motivates you to meditate first before you initiate an activity. There are times for change and there are times for contemplation. This month starts with contemplation and the organization of your life’s ambitions.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month Venus is in Virgo for a very short time, then things are quiet. Mars and Mercury are well aspected so having a bit of fun might be appropriate. The first week of October is peaceful and then you will have a lot of intellectual stimulation. Be careful of being fussy about activities in the first week, that is about the only problem you might have. Always your mindfulness and Bodhicitta intentions are the most important thing in your daily life.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month start slowly to avoid mistakes and then have fun, enjoy yourself.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to send a card to your parents to thank them for this rebirth. If they have passed away, then do a meditation in deep appreciation of the rebirth they gave you. Even if life has been complicated, the main thing is you have the Dharma. You will find the month starts in a contemplative manner as the Sun is well aspected with Uranus and Pluto. Start the month with enthusiasm and complete the month by relaxing. Venus will enter your sign in the last weeks to give you a sense of pleasure.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. The balance this month is between activity and thoughtfulness. You will be active as the month starts, so end it with being peaceful and happy. That gives you balance.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to send a card to your parents to thank them for this rebirth. If they have passed away, then do a meditation in deep appreciation of this rebirth they gave you. Even if life has been complicated, the main thing is you have the Dharma. This month you feel more and more energetic as the month progresses. Mars and Mercury are in your sign for all of October. This is increased as the Sun enters into Scorpio in the last ten days. So be mindful of where your thoughts lead you and use them in a positive manner. It is a good time to have fun and be helpful.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month your mind is active so organize your thoughts around what makes you passionate in a positive manner. The best of passions is the passion for Bodhicitta and to be a bodhisattva.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month you are free of planets but have a retrograde Uranus running opposite your sign. The month starts with some possible unexpected events, but what is beneficial is the Sun and Pluto are well aspected. That means you will most likely not be bothered by inconveniences. You will feel very dedicated to the cause of being a bodhisattva at that time.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month your inspiration is being friendly. Remember the definition of love, it is the wish to give others happiness. I wise person once said, “Love is nothing until it is given away.”
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month there are some distractions from Jupiter opposite your sign. This will happen for most of the month. Be mindful of agitated feelings and you will avoid acting out your frustrations. Virtuous mindfulness stops even bad astrological aspects. Be confident in your own clarity and positive feelings. Granted a Jupiter opposition is not bad, it is just a distraction if you are not focused.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month be mindful of the suffering nature of samsara. That keeps you in balance as often we like to think our samsara should only get better and better. This is not the nature of samsara, so don’t rely on it.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month be calm and quiet. You have Pluto running retrograde, but with good aspects from the Sun and Uranus. These are positively positioned in the first weeks of the month. Midmonth expect your spiritual feelings to grow more and more. This is because Jupiter will start to come opposite to Pluto, giving it good energy. You will enhance your spiritual inspiration as a Bodhisattva.

This month Saturn and Neptune are in the top end of Pisces. That stimulates contemplative insights. That is if you are a Buddhist. The reason is you contemplate the nature of reality and your life.

Do not overelaborate your plans and you will do fine.
