This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho; “Each person has to become a way for the divine – a passage, a vehicle, an opening for the divine to descend to the earth.”
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
“Each person has to become a way for the divine – a passage, a vehicle, an opening for the divine to descend to the earth. We are both the earth and the sky. A part of us belongs to the earth and a part of us belongs to the sky. We are just the meeting of the opposites, the meeting of two infinities. You can call it matter and mind. You can call it man and woman. You can call it the earth and the sky, the visible and the invisible. But man is a meeting of two dimensions, and we exist only on the boundary.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 21
Aries
“Action can be meditative and inaction can be as tense as anything else. Just by sitting silently nobody becomes silent. In fact when people sit silently they become more full of turmoil than ever… Action and inaction are just like in-breathing, out-breathing. You cannot only in-breathe, otherwise you will die. You cannot only out-breathe, otherwise you will die. There has to be a balance… So when you are doing something, do it meditatively. Even if you are hurrying, hurry slowly… It is some inner quality that has nothing to do with the outer.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 25
Taurus
“To live rightly means to live totally. It is not being virtuous; it is just being whole. The right is not against wrong or against sin. The right is only against being partial. Don’t be partial, don’t be fragmentary. And the right has nothing to do with any goal, any perfectionist’s ideal. The right has something to do with the feel of this moment. If you feel good it is right. Easy is right! Happiness is right! So celebrate this moment, enjoy this moment, delight in this moment and the tomorrow will take care of itself.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 21
Gemini
“One can go on moving in the world and one will never come to a point where one can say that now this is the goal and I have arrived… There is another way of traveling – from one state of mind to another, from one space to another inside. If you go on changing from one state of mind to another – deeper, more far out, more silent, more blissful – then one day suddenly one settles to one’s own center of being… And once you are in a new space within, the whole outside world changes… Just an ordinary tree becomes almost sacred, and wherever you move, you bring your inner silence with you and your blissfulness.”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 17
Cancer
“This has to be understood very deeply – that you can change energy from one mood to another mood. For example you are feeling angry. Relax, and start smiling. Go deeper into smiling. Start laughing, and just watch what is happening. You will immediately find that the anger is changing. It has come to a turning point from where it suddenly takes a jump and becomes laughter. It is the same energy. After a deep laughter you will see that there is no need to be angry now. The anger has disappeared. Not only have you overcome the anger but you have used it creatively. If you had been angry you would have been impoverished.”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 2
Leo
“Each seed has an intrinsic, a hidden and unmanifested form in it. Because of that form it goes on taking and using energy in a certain way… From the same earth they will take different perfumes. From the same sun they will take different life forms. Each person has a seed form that is his destiny. Once the form starts becoming clear, your destiny is clear. When you go astray less and less, when there are less and less alternatives, possibilities disappear, only potentialities appear, one becomes almost choiceless, then the river flows direct to the ocean. There is no hesitation, nowhere else to go!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 9
Virgo
“You always become interested in people who need your sympathy, and there is nothing wrong in it. Give them food and shelter but don’t pretend that you are in love. If you see a beggar on the street you can help him, but help him and forget him. No need to make it a love affair! The beggar will feel obliged to you, and he cannot escape from you because he has become dependent… You enjoy being superior. It becomes an ego trip. He is an inferior person because he is dependent on you… He feels hurt. You have become superior because you have money and he has none, so he goes on pretending he loves you. Love is not that cheap!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 3
Libra
“If you feel loving in your heart, you will never feel alone. Whether others love you or not is not the point. If you are full of love you will never feel alone because love needs no response. If your love is not returned it’s okay – you are not waiting for it. You simply love, and you are happy in loving. You ask that love be returned only when you are not loving. This is one of the basic things to understand – if others are not loving that is their problem, why make it yours? …Never interfere in anybody else’s life. Move on your own, and if you feel loving be loving.”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 3
Scorpio
“Death is not against life; it is a dimension of life. So when you want to die don’t think in terms of being anti-life, or that you don’t want to live, otherwise who will die? If you don’t live who is going to die? If life disappears who is going to go deep in death? It is life that goes deep. Death is just depth to life. Life is just the surface of death, and death is just the depth of life. They are together just like the ocean – on the surface waves and deep down no waves at all… Be more vital so that next time you go into depth you can dive deeper… And desire will not help, only energy will help. So… be more vital and alive and next time you will be able to go deeper.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 24
Sagittarius
“It is good to stumble. It is good to make trials, fall, rise up again. This time move as if you are an orphan. There will be nobody to look to, nobody to guide you, but all guides are false, any people who can tell you to do this and that… So this time listen to the heart. What else can you do? …Soon you will find that you are growing on your own. That is real growth. It is difficult, arduous, but reality is difficult and arduous. One has to pay for it. And there is no harm in making mistakes because one learns that way. There is no other way. Trial and error is the only human way.”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 15
Capricorn
“Control is a beautiful name for cowardice; you hide cowardice behind the label of control. Never hide it. If you are a coward, you are a coward. But there is no need for control because that can become so beautiful that one forgets what one is hiding behind it. Everybody is a coward more or less, but I have never seen anybody who is absolutely a coward, so a little possibility exists for courage in everybody. Just take that little part of your courage and start using it… Fall in love, fool around. Do things that you always wanted to do but your guilt wouldn’t allow you to… The way to heaven goes through hell, and virtue comes only when one has passed through sin.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 15
Aquarius
“Never be a do-gooder!… Do-gooders are dangerous because they humiliate other people. By doing good they start feeling great. And to whomsoever they do good they humiliate. You are not here to do good to anybody, and remember, whenever you start thinking in terms of doing good, you start thinking in terms also of others doing good to you… You see demanders everywhere – a mother does something for the son and then goes on demanding, ‘I have done so much for you, now you do for me!’ That’s why children can never become capable of forgiving their parents… Children hate, they are annoyed by their parents. Not that they don’t love, but the do-gooder is heavy.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 14
Pisces
“If you want spiritually to be strong you have to be absolutely weak… If you want to be strong in the world there are other ways. You have to have a very strong ego, will power, resistance, violence, aggression, ambition, competition, greed. You have to develop all sorts of diseases… But if you want to be strong spiritually there is no problem. You have to drop all these diseases, and you have to drop the very idea of the ego. One is simply nobody. And out of that nobodyness a strength arises which is not of this world, which is totally different, which is not in fact your strength… One has to be spiritually non-existential, just a nobody. And out of that nobodyness you are strong.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 18
