This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho: “Become discontinuous with the mind. That is mutation, that is revolution…”
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
“Become discontinuous with the mind. That is mutation, that is revolution… When you become intensely aware of all the nonsense and nuisance that the mind has done to you, then you don’t ask how to transform it… Drop it, and then you will have the universal mind functioning in you. Because of your mind the universal cannot function. You go on interfering… You are the barrier, the hindrance!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 4
Aries
The ego can be dissolved only when it has become mature. I am not against the ego. I am all for it, but I don’t confine myself to it. One has to go beyond it… The egoist, the individual mind, has an interior definition. He knows who he is. He has a kind of integration. Of course the integration is not ultimate and will have to be dropped. But it can be dropped only when it has been attained… An individual is one who has dropped his ego and knows who he is!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 5
Taurus
“God is not a painter, God is not a potter. God is a dancer! What is the meaning of it? In dance the dancer and the dance are one. They can never be separated… The dancer is the dance. And when the dancer is really in the dance there is no dancer in him, all disappears. It is just pure vibrant energy. It is just pure energy dancing. There is no ego in it!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 2
Gemini
“Language is the medium to relate with others and silence is the medium to relate with God, because God is not the other. Only in silence do you commune with your own inner being. Logic is the way in the world, love is the way in God. Prayer is a loving silence, nothing else… silence but utterly full of love, overflowing with love. If silence is there and love is not there, then it is meditation. If silence is there and suffused with love, fragrant with love, then it is prayer.”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 6,
Cancer
“There are many winds that will come, there are many rains that will descend and floods, and they will all try to shatter your house, because life is a challenge and anything that you attain has to be tested against challenges. The higher you grow the greater the challenges that will be coming… but they are good because only they will make you strong and crystallised!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 7,
Leo
“Blessed are the poor in spirit – those who know that they are nothing, those who know that their inside is just empty… There is no self, no ego, no claim, no word, no knowledge, no scripture, just emptiness, pure sky, spaciousness… If you are nothing this very moment you are God. If you are nothing you are God. Between nothingness and God there is no gap to be crossed!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 1,
Virgo
“My whole approach is how to de-automise you… Watch yourself how you react. You have reacted that way a thousand and one times. It has become a set habit with you… Somebody insults you, watch what you do. Somebody appreciates you, watch what you say. Are you really saying it? Are you there while you are saying it or you are not needed. It is a programmed thing in the mind and the mind repeats it?”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 9,
Libra
“You go on creating a very beautiful image of yourself and, correspondingly, you go on creating beautiful images of other people. Neither your image about yourself is true, nor is your image of other people true. So you live in a kind of illusion and again and again you are frustrated… When we stop inventing ourselves we stop inventing others, and then suddenly there is a common ground, a common existence. Passion disappears, and when passion disappears compassion appears.”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 3
Scorpio
“If you choose life against death you are creating a dichotomy in your being… Life is good, so death is going to be good and death is going to happen… Death is the culmination of life, the fulfilment of life. Death is not against life. Death is the crescendo, the greatest peak of life. Death is the greatest orgasm!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 2
Sagittarius
“You have to become one with the whole. In fact you are one, you just think that you are not. That barrier of the thought has to be dissolved. Then there is relaxation, peace, non-violence. In India we say ‘satyam, shivam, sunderam’ – then there is truth, there is good and there is beauty… You have disappeared and all the energy that was involved in the ego is freed!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 5
Capricorn
“Going out is going down, going in is going up. In the inner world ‘up’ and ‘in’ mean the same. ‘Out’ and ‘down’ mean the same. When you have to relate to people you have to go out… People ask me what I go on doing in my room alone. That is my mountain. That is where I can soar high… I can forget the body, I can forget the mind, I can forget you, I can forget all. In that moment of utter forgetfulness of all, one is!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 1
Aquarius
“Freedom is the ultimate value in the human soul, so anything that degrades you from your freedom, that creates a confinement around you, you hate… Between the friend and the enemy there is not much difference. With the friend your relationship is love-hate, and with the enemy your relationship is hate-love… Compassion means you have gone beyond the necessity of depending on anyone else. Now you can share because you don’t need. You can share only when you don’t need!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 3
Pisces
“Surrender happens only when there is great will. But when surrender happens the will disappears and not even a trace is left… You efface yourself, you don’t stand in between, you simply disappear. In your disappearance God appears. Your absence becomes his presence. When you are empty as far as your self is concerned, you become full with his presence. He comes only when you are not!”
Osho, I Say Unto You, Ch. 7
