This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho. “Man has lived uncivilized for a single reason: he never went deep into himself. I call only those people civilized who have reached their centre, and who have seen themselves as buddhas.”
Phoebe would like to point out that we all have all the twelve zodiac signs in our horoscope – some with planets in them and some are empty – meaning some of the themes addressed are in the foreground and some in the background of our lives. “I recommend readers to read all twelve quotes, not just their star sign, for a wider perspective on the themes of the month,” she says.

Mood of the Month
“He has been hiding in the centre for centuries. Bring him to the circumference, the world needs it. This is the right moment for every buddha to come out. That is the only hope for the whole planet. If buddhas can come out to their circumference, in their daily activities, we can change the very fabric of human life on the earth. It can become a benediction. Man has lived uncivilized for a single reason: he never went deep into himself. I call only those people civilized who have reached their centre, and who have seen themselves as buddhas.”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 1
Aries
“There is no final goal to life. Life is goal-less and that is the beauty of it! If there were a goal, things would not be so beautiful, because one day you would come to the very end, and then everything after that would be just boring… Life abhors monotony. It goes on creating new goals because it has none… The horizon goes on and on running in front of you. You never reach it; you are always on the way… And if you understand that, then the whole tension of the mind disappears, because the tension is to seek a goal, to arrive somewhere.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 6
Taurus
“There is no security anywhere. Life is insecure, and there is no ground to it… Insecurity is the very nature of life. If you don’t ask for security then you will never be worried by the insecurity… Underneath a rock there is ground. Underneath a flower there is none. The flower is insecure. A small breeze and the flower may disperse, the petals may fall and disappear. It is a miracle that the flower is there. Life is a miracle because there is no reason for it to be. It is simply a miracle that you are, otherwise there is every reason for you not to be. Maturity comes to you only when you accept this.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 5
Gemini
“Life happens to you only when you are unconditionally accepting it, when you are ready to welcome it whatsoever shape it comes in, in whatsoever form it takes. But a man who has too much control is always asking life to come in a certain form, fulfilling certain conditions… The sooner you break out of the confinement of control the better because all control is from the mind and you are greater than the mind. So a small part is trying to dominate, trying to dictate… Don’t go on living the life of a fist, because that is the life of control. Live a life of open hand. The whole sky is available, don’t settle for less. Never settle for less!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 8
Cancer
“Identification with the body, with the mind, with our possessions, with our families, with our friends – any kind of identification, takes you outwards. All your possessions will be outwards. Your wife, your husband, your children, your body (your body is outside you), your mind (your mind is outside you). The only thing that is not outside you is the witnessing. Just the watchfulness. That is your buddha. Identification means losing witnessing, falling into the trap of attachment. That is our misery; that is our slavery!”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 5
Leo
“People who are goal-oriented are always against love, remember. Mind is always against love because love seems to delay the goal. Love says to enjoy this moment here-now… and the mind says that this is a disturbance, a distraction… The mind says persist in one direction, go like an arrow, one-pointed, moving towards the target… And love says there is nowhere to go… Just to be here… And that is what the whole of life is saying – perfectly good! It goes on saying good! to the trees, beautiful! to the animals, even to the rocks life goes on saying perfectly good!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 7
Virgo
“You have to learn to enter into your inner temple. And then you have to remember continuously, because to forget again and again is human. But as your remembrance becomes a silent breathing in you, the moment you start breathing buddha in and out then it is neither learning nor remembering. It is simply you. You have not achieved anything, you have not discovered anything. It has always been there. And whether you remember it or not, it will always remain there.”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 8
Libra
“Whenever you see something that is phoney, just put it aside. For example, you were just going to smile, then suddenly you realise that it was phoney. Stop, even in the middle of the smile, relax your lips and ask the person to excuse you. Tell them it was a phoney smile and you are sorry… The whole society exists on phoniness, then be phoney consciously. But in your relationships where you can be true, don’t allow phoniness… I’m not saying to just get out of the social formalities. I am saying be watchful, and if you have to be false, be it consciously… But when you are in an authentic relationship then be true.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 6
Scorpio
“It always happens that you hate the same thing that you love… You will find excuses as to why you hate, but they are not relevant, mm? For every love we have to pay… And never let your hate decide anything. Knowing well there is hate, always let love decide. I’m not saying suppress, no, but never let it decide… Let it be there, let it have a secondary place. Accept it, but never let it be decisive. Neglect it and it dies of its own accord. Pay more attention to love, and just let love decide. Sooner or later love will take possession of your whole being, and there will be no place left for hate.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 7
Sagittarius
“Clarity is the target. Pains and suffering remain with life, they are part of it. You just need a clarity to see everything in the right perspective… Go on creating more and more clarity and that is the only change that there is, that is the only mutation. Go on moving higher and higher on the wave of clarity and awareness. As you go higher a different world comes to your vision. The world remains the same but your clear eyes now give you a different picture, and by and by everything falls in line. One day one realises that everything is as it should be. That is the perfection of clarity… This world is the perfect world!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 10
Capricorn
“The functioning consciousness is one thing; everybody has it. You have to find out the deeper original witness which can witness your body, your mind, your thoughts, your actions, and still remain far away from any attachment or judgment. This discovery is the greatest discovery in the history of consciousness. No discovery of science or of any other subject, mathematics, or logic, or philosophy, no discovery can be bigger, greater, with more splendour… than the discovery of the witness. The witness makes you a buddha!”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 6
Aquarius
“Life is always an open river. You never know where it will take the turn. You cannot take a promise from the river that it will not turn at such a point. Nature never promises you anything… To be a buddha is not only a revolution within you, it is a revolution in your very conception of the world, of relationships, of love, of friendship. The revolution is total. It changes all your perceptivity, all your conceptuality. It changes all your old mechanical habits. It makes you for the first time not a robot…”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 6
Pisces
“The mind has to be utterly empty… because emptiness is the opportunity for fulfilment. First you have to be empty of everything that you know of. Only then can you be filled by the divine. Flowers can start showering on you from unknown sources, and in emptiness a great flame of awareness arises in you which brings you the sense of eternity, immortality, a great peace that passeth understanding, a serenity, a silence, a blissfulness, and an ecstasy that knows no ending. You are for the first time drunk with the divine!”
