September 2025
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month you have Neptune running retrograde. That can influence you to make bad decisions. It will get even stronger in the last two weeks with the Sun in opposition to the retrograde movement. I would just suggest not major decisions at this time. Calm abiding meditations are excellent this month.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month be a quiet and introspective individual. Do not plan on any big events, or if you must, rely on good advice from close friends.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month you are free of any planets, and you do have the Sun and Mercury well position from Virgo. Basically, do what you wish, there are no big astrological problems. These aspects are only an influence, and clear mindedness would eliminate any problems you might meet. As Buddhists we focus on our awareness, wisdom and compassion to make all our decisions.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month do what is in front of you. It is a great time to do practical things that involve physical activity.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
It is a good month to go slowly. The Mercury and Venus are square Uranus in your Sun sign. You will most likely feel agitated. The agitation will be a desire to go out and indulge. This feeling will grow as the month continues, thus be mindful of your motivation. A good remedy to self-indulgence is to invite others out and pay the bill at the end of the meal. That way whatever you do is shared and you collect the karma of generosity.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month stop thinking about things and take one subject and meditate on it. Don’t jump around too much, be peacefully thoughtful.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
A great month to do simple things. Jupiter transits in Cancer but runs a square in the first ten days to Mars. That can mean you are in a rush or doing things without mindfulness. Life is influenced by many factors, and this particular month it is best to slow down, even if you feel excited about something. You are a feeling based sign so don’t let your feelings run wild.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective and patient. Patience is a wonderful virtue. It increases all virtuous activity and stabilizes existing positive feelings.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month it is good to focus on spiritual issues. Your mind and spirit are strong with a Pluto opposition. The only downside for this month is being fussy about how things happen. If you keep a virtuous and spiritual focus, then you will not be fussy about materialistic objectives. This is an excellent month to meditate on Guru Yoga. Pluto will give you deep insights if you have strong faith.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month spend more time indoors by reading and contemplating on the nature of a positive and constructive life. It is a great month to clean house and clean your inner awareness of the clutter of samsara.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Excitement is your middle name. The Sun, Mercury and Uranus are stimulating you. It is your birthday month but that means you have to slow down enough to let it happen. For example, don’t miss appointments, it might be a surprise party for you. There is a tendency to rush right by something and miss a wonderful opportunity to have fun. The reason is Uranus squares the Sun and Mercury. Your mindfulness can oppose that over-stimulation.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month slow down and don’t try to get everything done in the first week of fall. Let activities unfold as time and space avail themselves.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month you are powerful with Mars transiting in Libra. At first you are just energized, but by the middle of the month life gets too busy. Mars will run square to Pluto and you could feel too intense to accomplish things. Organize yourself at the start of the month and you will get many things done by month’s end. Just do not be intense about your plans.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. Balance can mean beauty so therefore know the middle point between activity and non-activity. Balance manifests with sensitivity, not with aggression and control.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month just do as you wish. You have no planets in Scorpio until the last days of September. Then you could feel too intense about your goals. The reason is Mars enters Scorpio but squares Pluto. Keep your nose close to the grindstone and be mindful when you think something inappropriate is transpiring. Most likely nothing is happening, it is just your imagination.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month relax and let things take their own time to manifest. Excitement can be a distraction if you rush into projects. Better to appreciate the right timing for activities. It guarantees success.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Energy is strong, but maybe in the wrong direction. The reason is Uranus is opposite your Sun sign, and square to Venus for a few days. Know you have a passion about life and important life issues but don’t let it dominate your activities. Open and let things unfold slowly and gracefully. You tend to be moody about how things are developing. There is energy for doing things, but do it at the right speed, not in a rush.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month it is better to let your motivation be simple and uncomplicated. You tend to get too excited. Slow down and relax. Anxiety comes from expectations. The mind with few thoughts or expectations is often a mind with contentment, especially if you maintain a positive and peaceful attitude.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
A great month to do simple things. Jupiter transits in Cancer but runs opposite your Sun sign and square in the first ten days to Mars. That can mean you are in a rush or doing things without mindfulness. Life is influenced by many factors, and this month it is best to slow down, even if you feel excited about something. You are a feeling based sign so don’t let your feelings run wild.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. A time of wisdom is here, so enter into this month by developing a thoughtful attitude. You can be an ocean of wisdom, so let the small boat of liberation sail smoothly across the ocean of samsara for the month.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
The month is characterized by profound feelings, that somehow feel out of place. The reason is Pluto is retrograde. It is a good time to relax, enjoy the fall season and reflect on the activities of the summer. Be quiet and mindful. Your dream life may increase if you turn your attention to deeper psychological issues. Neptune and Saturn are beneficially positioned to give you deep insights if you slow down and meditate regularly.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month your vision is great. Allow yourself to think about the inconceivable. Good month to meditate on the “void”.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
The month starts with a sense of excitement but slowly things peter out. Saturn is opposite the Sun and Mercury, and running retrograde at the start of the month. This can mean that plans seem to go astray. Go slowly and let things unfold in a natural way. As the month closes you will feel much better and more relaxed.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month your sensitivity is a bit agitated. You are in a rush to prove things to people and everything seems to go wrong. Better to slow down. It might seem difficult at first to say no to agitation but it gets easier as time passes.
