This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho; “Life is a miracle because there is no reason for it to be. It is simply a miracle that you are, otherwise there is every reason for you not to be!”
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
“That which you see with your eyes open… is a dream. That which you see with closed eyes – that too, is a dream. Dream is the stuff life is made of… When everything is a dream there is nothing to worry about. That is the whole concept of maya – that the world is illusory. Not that the world is illusory. It has its own reality, but this is just a technique to settle deeply into yourself… Suddenly you are transported into a different world – you are there, the dream is there, and nothing is worth worrying about!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 14
Aries
“Life is goal-less and that is the beauty of it! If there were a goal, things would not be so beautiful, because one day you would come to the very end, and then everything after that would be just boring… Life abhors monotony. It goes on creating new goals because it has none… The horizon goes on and on running in front of you. You never reach it; you are always on the way… And, if you understand that, then the whole tension of the mind disappears, because the tension is to seek a goal, to arrive somewhere.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 7
Taurus
“Life is insecure, and there is no ground to it… Insecurity is the very nature of life. If you don’t ask for security then you will never be worried by the insecurity… Underneath a rock there is ground; underneath a flower there is none. The flower is insecure. A small breeze and the flower may disperse, the petals may fall and disappear. It is a miracle that the flower is there! Life is a miracle because there is no reason for it to be. It is simply a miracle that you are, otherwise there is every reason for you not to be!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 5
Gemini
“Life happens to you only when you are unconditionally accepting it, when you are ready to welcome it whatsoever shape it comes in… But a man who has too much control is always asking life to come in a certain form, fulfilling certain conditions… All control is from the mind and you are greater than the mind. So a small part is trying to dominate, trying to dictate… People miss because of too much control. Be like a wild river and much much that you cannot even dream… is available just by the corner, just within reach.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 8
Cancer
“Identification with the body, with the mind, with our possessions, with our families, with our friends – any kind of identification takes you outwards. All your possessions will be outwards: your wife, your husband, your children, your body – your body is outside you… your mind is outside you. The only thing that is not outside you is the witnessing. Just the watchfulness, that is your buddha! Identification means losing witnessing, falling into the trap of attachment. That is our misery. That is our slavery!”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 5
Leo
“Mind is continuously hankering for arrival, and life is a continuous departure and arrival again – but arriving just to depart once more… It is a dynamic process, not a dead, static thing… There is no goal! This understanding, once it settles deep into your inner core, relaxes you. Then there is no tension because there is nowhere to go, so you cannot go astray… Then you flow in all directions with no fear, because there is no failure. There is no success either… Then each moment becomes an intrinsic moment in itself… Each moment is a diamond, and you go from one diamond to another.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 7
Virgo
“You have to learn to enter into your inner temple. And then you have to remember continuously, because to forget again and again is human. But as your remembrance becomes a silent breathing in you, the moment you start breathing buddha in and out, then it is neither learning nor remembering. It is simply you. You have not achieved anything, you have not discovered anything. It has always been there. And whether you remember it or not, it will always remain there.”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 8
Libra
“Whenever you see something that is phony, just put it aside. For example, you were just going to smile, then suddenly you realize that it was phony. Stop, even in the middle of the smile, relax your lips and ask the person to excuse you. Tell them it was a phony smile and you are sorry… If sometimes you think it is necessary… because the whole society exists on phoniness, then be phony consciously. But in your relationships where you can be true, don’t allow phoniness… In your love relationship, in your friendships, be true… Then by and by the boundaries will go on becoming wider… and day comes when a person is simply true.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 6
Scorpio
“It always happens that you hate the same thing that you love… You will find excuses as to why you hate, but they are not relevant, mm? For every love we have to pay… And never let your hate decide anything. Knowing well there is hate, always let love decide. I’m not saying suppress, no, but never let it decide. Let it be there, let it have a secondary place. Accept it, but never let it be decisive. Neglect it and it dies of its own accord. Pay more attention to love, and just let love decide. Sooner or later love will take possession of your whole being, and there will be no place left for hate.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 7
Sagittarius
“Clarity is the target. Pains and suffering remain with life, they are part of it. You just need a clarity to see everything in the right perspective… Go on creating more and more clarity and that is the only change that there is, that is the only mutation. Go on moving higher and higher on the wave of clarity and awareness. As you go higher a different world comes to your vision. The world remains the same but your clear eyes now give you a different picture, and by and by everything falls in line. One day one realizes that everything is as it should be. That is the perfection of clarity… This world is the perfect world!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 10
Capricorn
“We all think we are aware; that is one of our unawarenesses. We are only functionally aware. We have learned to do things – to go to bed, to get up early in the morning to go to the job. Everything has been learned. Even a robot can do the whole process; you are not needed. And that’s exactly what has happened to humanity. It is a robot humanity. You have learned everything that is necessary… and giving the charge to the mind you have gone to sleep… The whole effort of the buddhas is to bring out your consciousness and to make you clearly aware of the distinction between functioning consciousness and a pure consciousness that has no function – just a mirror.”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 6
Aquarius
“Life is always an open river. You never know where it will take the turn. You cannot take a promise from the river that it will not turn at such a point. Nature never promises you anything… To be a buddha is not only a revolution within you, it is a revolution in your very conception of the world, of relationships, of love, of friendship. The revolution is total. It changes all your perceptivity, all your conceptuality. It changes all your old mechanical habits. It makes you for the first time not a robot. ”
Osho, Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky, Ch 6
Pisces
“The mind has to be utterly empty… because emptiness is the opportunity for fulfillment. First
you have to be empty of everything that you know of. Only then can you be filled by the divine. Flowers can start showering on you from unknown sources, and in emptiness a great flame of awareness arises in you which brings you the sense of eternity, immortality, a great peace that passeth understanding, a serenity, a silence, a blissfulness, and an ecstasy that knows no ending. You are for the first time drunk with the divine!”
