This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho.
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
“If you are innocent, there is nothing you are lacking. If you can look with innocent eyes towards the sky, you become the sky. With mind you start measuring… but if you are innocent, not a mind but just a being looking at the sky, there is nothing to say, nothing to think. The sky is there, and you are also like a sky – the inner and the outer meet. Both the spaces become one and there is no boundary… Then innocence will flower in you, and that innocence is the greatest thing that can happen to a human being. Innocent, you are divine.”
Osho, My Way: the Way of the White Clouds, Ch 15
Aries
“Meditation will give you something which can be shared. Meditation will give you the quality, the energy that can become love if related to somebody. Ordinarily you don’t have it. It is something that you have to create. It is something that you have to become. It is a struggle, an effort and a great art. When you have overflowing love within you, then you can share, but that can happen only when you relate to yourself… So the first love is to oneself, then the second is possible.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 7
Taurus
“If love is there, it survives. If it is not there it disappears. Both are good. To an ordinary state of mind what I call love is not possible. It happens only when you have a very integrated being. Love is a function of the integrated being. It is not romance. It has nothing to do with these foolish things. It goes directly to the person and looks into the soul… Love is not the question. Your awareness is the question. This may be just a situation in which your awareness will grow and you will become more alert about yourself. So whatsoever happens one should remain open. So just watch!“
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 10
Gemini
“Mind is the accumulated past. All that you have experienced, all that you have known, all that you have lived through is accumulated in the memory. That accumulated past is the mind. So mind is always dead because it belongs to the past… It is just like dust that a traveler gathers. You are here and now and mind is always in the past. Mind is your shadow that follows you… Moment-to-moment, die to the past as if it never existed, as if you are born anew!”
Osho, My Way: the Way of the White Clouds, Ch 15
Cancer
“Look for the mysterious in life. Wherever you look – in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river – wherever you look, look for the mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it… Dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it… Suddenly the mundane world of division, of separation, has disappeared, and a different, totally different, world of oneness comes before you.”
Osho, My Way: the Way of the White Clouds, Ch 1
Leo
“Destiny is something we create by doing. In fact you create yourself by doing. A man is a constant process of self-creation – one perpetuates oneself continuously… It is the greatest courage and adventure there is to create oneself. And how to create oneself? Through work, through relationships, through love, through meditation… And the more dimensions you have to your life the richer you will be. If you don’t create a meaning outside, inside you will also feel dark. That’s why you are feeling dark inside… If you create meaning outside, simultaneously and parallel to it, inner integration happens.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 8
Virgo
“Life is just a response. It is a mirror – you see your face… So always remember it. Otherwise the mind has a tendency to expect and then to get frustrated. Somehow deep down one goes on thinking that one has been cheated. Nobody can cheat you – except yourself… The responsibility is totally yours. You have to put much effort into it. The more you put the more you get. If you can put yourself totally at stake, that single effort can bring so much fulfillment that you cannot even imagine – dream of.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 14
Libra
“Relationship is a mirror. Wherever you are related with a person – a wife, a husband, a friend, a lover, an enemy – a mirror is there. The wife mirrors the husband. You can see yourself there, and if you see an ugly husband, don’t try to leave your wife. The ugliness is in you! Drop that ugliness… Everybody is ugly because beauty is something which happens only by and by when your inner being becomes revealed. Ego is always ugly, so only when the ego is not does one become beautiful. It is the ego that is mirrored.”
Osho, My Way: the Way of the White Clouds, Ch 11
Scorpio
“Crying is natural, very deep, unlearned, original. So it is even more meaningful and significant than laughter, but it can disturb… You will start feeling that you are a mess because your identity and the fixed attitude, and the shell that surrounded you, will not be there. You will become more and more vulnerable and open, and you will not know who you are… The whole rubbish of your mind will go out through your tears… You will lose that egoistic attitude of always remaining in control. You will become more free, spontaneous, more childlike… If meditation goes deep, it happens.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 17
Sagittarius
“A man who lives in the future never eats well. He is just throwing food inside… He can think of what he will eat tomorrow, but he cannot eat this moment… While he is making love he doesn’t feel anything. He is frustrated but he thinks of other women that he is going to capture in the future… He will not be able to enjoy the bliss that Nature… is showering every moment silently without making any noise around you. Everything is beautiful, everything is a benediction, but you are not present… The goal is here and now!”
Osho, My Way: the Way of the White Clouds, Ch 15
Capricorn
“You are in the head too much. That’s why you cannot trust people… If you live without trust you will live alone, and that aloneness cannot be real aloneness – it will be loneliness. You will miss people because you are not yet able to enjoy your solitude… That is possible only when you have lived with people, loved people, been enriched by them. Then, fulfilled, you say now is enough. One moves and then solitariness has a beauty. It is solitude. Then loneliness is aloneness… But that happens only after much experience, much maturity.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 19
Aquarius
“If you have become aware that you are feeling stuck… get more identified with movement, flow, streaming, and help the new to happen. Just a little help and tremendous is the possibility. And when one loses the past one loses nothing because it is already dead and gone. It is only in your memories and nowhere else. It is just in the mind, an imprint, an image… The real is that which is happening right now, this very moment. Once it has happened it is unreal. But that goes on accumulating in the mind. That which has happened, the experienced, we go on accumulating. We go on treasuring our dead selves.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 23
Pisces
“When the whole enters into the part, when the ocean falls into the drop, only then is there contentment. But then there is no understanding… The very need to understand is an acquired need; it is not natural. If you love a person, you don’t bother to understand. If you are happy, you don’t bother to understand what happiness is. If the flower is beautiful, the flower is beautiful. You don’t bother to analyze why it is beautiful… So keep a little shrine in the heart for the incomprehensible, for that which cannot be understood, for that which should not be understood.”
Osho, The Cypress in the Courtyard, Ch 11
