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

“At the deepest core of your being you are part of eternity, you are not part of time. You exist in time, but you belong to eternity. You are a penetration of eternity into the world of time. You are deathless, living in a body of death. Your consciousness knows no death, no birth. It is only your body that is born and dies. But you are not aware of your consciousness. You are not conscious of your consciousness. And that is the whole art of meditation – becoming conscious of consciousness itself. The moment you know who is residing in the body, who you are, in that very revelation you have transcended death and the world of death.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 2

Aries

“If a man is disturbed, is in conflict, is in confusion, is in a divide, is split inside, he will never be filled with wisdom. Wisdom needs unity, wisdom needs integration, wisdom needs a crystallization of awareness, of watchfulness, of watching your acts, your moods, your thoughts, your emotions – of watching everything that is happening in your inner world. By just watching it a miracle starts happening… A voice within you will say, ‘Watch, beware – you are moving into the trap again!’… This is the path of transforming your energies… This is the way of purification.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 1

Taurus

“The body is the most complex mechanism in existence… Begin the feeling of wonder with your own body, because that is the closest to you… In your body is the water of the oceans, in your body is the fire of the stars and the suns, in your body is the air, your body is made of earth. Your body represents the whole existence, all the elements. And what a transformation! What a metamorphosis! Look at the earth and then look at your body… Dust has become divine. What greater mystery is possible?… Out of the mud comes the lotus… and out of the dust has arisen our beautiful body.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 1

Gemini

“A preoccupied mind goes on projecting its own preoccupation on everything. And because it is so full of its own thoughts, it cannot allow any listening… Simply remove the obstacles… Just do the negative part and wait. Slowly, slowly the transformation goes so deep that preoccupation of the mind becomes impossible. When you can manage to have diamonds, naturally you will lose interest in stones. When you can have real roses… you will lose interest in plastic… Just get in contact with the higher and the lower disappears. And to get in contact with the higher you have only to make a passage for it to reach to you.”

Osho, The New Dawn, Ch 8

Cancer

“Insecurity is the very fabric of life. If you don’t understand insecurity, you can never understand life. Seasons will change, climates will change, the fall will come, the spring will come. Everything will go on changing, nothing can be taken for granted. This is insecurity. You want everything to be certain, permanent but… insecurity keeps people fresh, alive, adventurous … so there is great scope for transformation. An ancient saying is, ‘The authentic man is one whom the sunrise never finds where the sunset leaves him’… He is always on the move, he is flow.”

Osho, The New Dawn, Ch 6

Leo

“If you are really in love with a beautiful person you would not like to possess, because to possess is to destroy. You will be like a bee. You will enjoy the company, you will enjoy the friendship, you will share the love, but you will not possess. To possess is to reduce the person to a thing. It is to destroy his spirit. It is to make him a commodity… Have all the experiences, because it is only through experiences that you become mature, but don’t be possessive, don’t get stuck anywhere… Settle inside certainly, become crystallized inside, but on the outside remain a wanderer.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 3

Virgo

“The purpose of your life is not the work that you do. You can do anything… You can be a shoemaker, you can be a carpenter, you can be a dancer, you can be a musician. That does not matter… – whatever gives you bliss, whatever gives you peace, whatever brings more awareness to you. The work is not important but what happens within you… If it brings light in your being, if it brings a deep fulfilment, if it makes you more loving and more joyous… do it and do it totally. The more totally you do it… the more your potential will become actual, the more you will find you are coming closer to your destiny.”

Osho, The New Dawn, Ch 8

Libra

“People go on following others’ advice. Live according to your own light and then whatever happens, you will find a peace, a contentment, a fulfilment. You may not be a great success in the world, you may not be very famous, but you will be yourself. And the person who is himself is naturally meditative, naturally silent. He has no preoccupations because he has not left anything that he wanted to do undone. He has never left anything that he wanted to do incomplete. He has never repressed any desire, any instinct, any natural longing. He has nothing to be preoccupied with… and then the meditation, the silence, the opening!”

Osho, The New Dawn, Ch 8

Scorpio

“To go beyond judgments of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen… Because the struggle is long and the journey is arduous, many times you will fall and forget, many times you will start judging, many times you will start getting identified with this or that, many times the ego will assert itself… Whenever judgment arises, immediately remember – watch, simply watch and there will be understanding. And understanding is the secret of transformation.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 1

Sagittarius

“Go on enquiring,’Who am I?’ but transform the question more into flesh and blood rather than leaving it just in words in the mind. The mind is the most superficial thing in you. Let the question become your bones, your marrow; let it beat in your heart, let it be an undercurrent whatever you are doing, awake or asleep – just a silent question mark that follows you like a shadow without making any noise. And you can be certain – it is my promise to you – that one day suddenly, out of nowhere, you will be standing in absolute awareness, knowing the mystery which is unfathomable. Your mystery is the mystery of everybody else; your mystery is the mystery of the whole universe.”

Osho, The New Dawn, Ch 10

Capricorn

“Enjoy the small things of life, the small joys of life. They all contribute to the enrichment of your being. And always remember – non-seriousness is one of the most fundamental qualities of a really religious person. Take life very playfully, then you can have both the worlds together. You can have the cake and eat it too. And that is a real art. This world and that, sound and silence, love and meditation, being with people, relating, and being alone. All these things have to be lived together in a kind of simultaneity. Only then will you know the uttermost depth of your being and the uttermost height of your being.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 2

Aquarius

“Life is beautiful because it is paradoxical… Life has tremendous mystery in it because it is based on paradox. You are feeling confused because you have a certain fixed idea about how life should be. You don’t allow life to be as it is; you want to impose a certain concept on it, a certain logic on it. The confusion is of your own creation… Life is as it is. You have to listen to it… Life has to be perceived, not conceived… Don’t have any a-priori conceptions. Go innocent, naked, go ignorant. Function from the state of not-knowing and then life is not confusing. It is a tremendous joy; it is an ecstasy.”

Osho, The Dhammapada, Vol 2, Ch 2

Pisces

“In a dark house you can burn one candle, and the whole house will be full of light. You can burn another candle – do you think the light of two candles is going to be in conflict? The second candle will also fill the whole house with its light… You can go on burning candles after candles. They will remain individual in their flames, but as far as their radiated light is concerned…they will all possess the whole room. There will be no division… Millions of other enlightened people are filling the whole universe with their light, with their consciousness… The same space can be occupied by many lights… and consciousness is a light.”
