Phoebe’s horoscope with quotes from Osho; “…if nothing is needed for your bliss, only then can you be blissful.”
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
“Whatsoever you are doing, whatsoever you are achieving, remember to ask, ‘If I succeed then what?’ Is there any meaning in it all or is there just some artificial meaning given by you… so that you feel you are doing something worthwhile – and all the time you are really wasting life and energy… There is only one thing worthwhile – if you can become happy without anything, without any dependence, if you can be blissful alone, totally alone, if nothing is needed for your bliss, only then can you be blissful. Otherwise you will be in misery.”
Osho, Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, Vol 1, Ch 23

“If you want to do something in the world, anything, effort is needed. But if you want to do something in the inner no effort is needed. Just relaxation is needed… Start with effort – just keep in mind that you have to leave it, and go on leaving it. Even leaving it will be an effort, but a moment comes when everything has gone. Then you are there, simply there not doing anything – just there, being… And all that is worth knowing, worth having, worth being, happens to you in that state.”

“The more you think about what people think about you, the less you are concerned about your own well-being. That’s how we create false images. We go on smiling so that people will think we are happy rather than really being happy. We choose a very poor substitute. But just by people thinking you are happy can you be happy? Forget about what people think happiness is. You be happy… Everybody has to live his own life.”

In every creation sex is used… The highest creation is the creation of oneself. The highest creation is the creation of total consciousness within, creation of a whole within – oneness.

“Move from the discontented world of the mind to the contented world of the near, and small things are so blissful. Just a cup of tea, just sipping the tea, savoring its taste and flavor is as great an ecstasy as any buddha has achieved in his samadhi. There is no difference at all. The question is not whether you are sitting underneath a tree and meditating, or sitting in your room sipping tea. The question is of the heart.”

I am the source, you are just a screen on which I project my love… When a mood against someone or for someone arises, do not place it on the person in question or on the object in question. Remain centered. Remember that you are the source.

“In the society, relating with others, you will need some name, some form. Your past supplies you name and form. That name and form are useful. Without them it will be difficult to survive. They are needed, but they are not you… Because of this utilitarian necessity one becomes identified. You can go beyond this identification, and the moment you start going beyond and reclaiming your original consciousness you have started meditation… The moment you ask sincerely ‘Who am I?’ you are on a different journey; you are transcending.”

“You can know yourself only when everything has become still, silent and quiet. Only then, in that silence, do you happen to encounter yourself. Otherwise, in activity you are so much occupied with something or other, you cannot feel your own presence. You go on forgetting yourself… If you want to learn about your own presence, you will have to be completely inactive… just being, not doing anything. All the ripples must cease; all activity must evaporate. You are; simply you are! …Then that still small voice for the first time is heard, that soundless sound, that soundless music is felt.”

This amazement is the authentic religious element. And, if you can keep this amazement fresh without being covered by any experience and dust, you have attained that which was your birthright.”
Osho, Om Mani Padme Hum, Ch 19
