This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho; “Everything has to be at stake, then only is change possible. Change cannot be partial. Either it is or it is not.”
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
“We want to change if there is no risk, and that’s impossible… Everything has to be at stake, then only is change possible. Change cannot be partial. Either it is or it is not. It can only be total… If there is the understanding that you have been living a life which was not worth much… it has never allowed you to flower, it has not been meaningful and significant in the ultimate sense… just the very understanding brings change. The very understanding becomes a transformation. Understanding is radical revolution, and there is no other revolution.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 16
Aries
“If something happens where you become frightened, that is the exact moment to move in. Go opposite the fear. Jump in head-long, and that will help… So this should be the rule: whatever frightens you, go into it. Just put aside all safety measures, securities – just gamble. The whole of life belongs to the gambler, and the whole mind has become a business man, calculating, thinking of profit and loss, never taking a risk and risk is needed. Life comes to those who risk, who live dangerously, almost on the verge of death.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 20
Taurus
“Never think much about the past. That which is gone is gone, you cannot undo it. If you constantly think about it you destroy your present… This feeling of guilt is also part of the egoistic mind… as if it were in your hands not to do this and to do otherwise. Nothing is in your hands. You yourself are not in your hands. Things are happening, nothing is being done. Once you understand this, guilt disappears… And this I call a spiritual attitude – when you understand that nothing can be done… You are just a tiny part of such a tremendous vastness!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 19
Gemini
“One cannot live in a no. You cannot eat no food, you cannot drink no water. You cannot live on no love, and you cannot live on no God. No is hell. Only yes brings heaven close. And when there arises a real yes out of your total being, nothing remains behind. In that yes you become one, and your whole energy moves upwards and says yes, yes, yes!… But it should come out of your very guts. It should not be a mind affair. It should not be just in the thoughts. So I am not telling you to say it; I am saying to make way for it to come.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 20
Cancer
“We remain confined with our past experiences, with all that we have known before. The unknown we cannot even imagine. We cannot expect it because we don’t know what it is. Whenever it comes it takes you by surprise. And all that is beautiful, true, always comes as a surprise. So retain the capacity to be surprised. That is one of the greatest blessings of life. Once you lose that capacity you are dead. If things can surprise you, you are still alive… That is the aliveness of a child… Life carries as much meaning as you carry the capacity to be surprised.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 18
Leo
“The real spiritual dimension is not the dimension of experience. In fact there is nothing to experience. Only you – not even you, just pure consciousness with no limit, with no object to it, just pure subjectivity, just being. Not that you experience beautiful things. You are beautiful but you don’t experience beautiful things. You are tremendously beautiful but nothing happens. All around is tremendous emptiness… Everything has to be dropped so you remain in your total purity. My whole effort here is to take you… beyond the experience, because only then are you beyond the mind and there is silence.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 24
Virgo
“People think that when they are lonely they have to be sad. This is just a wrong association… because all that is beautiful has happened always in loneliness; nothing has happened in a crowd. Nothing of the beyond has happened except when one is in absolute solitude… But the extrovert mind has created conditioning… that when you are lonely you feel bad. ‘Move, meet people, because all happiness is with people.’ That’s not true. The happiness that is with people is very superficial, and the happiness that happens when you are alone is tremendously deep. So delight in it.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 23
Libra
“We have been taught that anger comes only in a certain tense situation. That’s not true. We are born with anger; it is part of us… Just throw it, not on anybody but on a pillow, on the sky, on God… There is a part of love that is related to someone. Then if you go deeper you will come to the source of love which is unaddressed. It is not moving towards anybody. It is simply there – there inside… When you throw out the inner anger you come face to face with inner love, inner compassion. The rubbish has to be thrown out so that you can come to the purest gold within.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 22
Scorpio
“Resistance is one of the most basic problems and out of that all other problems are created. Once you resist something you are in trouble… It means you are separating yourself from the whole. You are condemning, judging, saying this is not right… Resistance means you have taken a posture of judgement. If you don’t resist then there is no separation between you and the energy that is moving around. Suddenly you are with it – so much so that you are not. Only the energy is moving… The mind tends to resist because in resistance it can exist. If it flows with energy, if it is in a let-go it disappears… Then you are not, you dissolve.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 25
Sagittarius
“One has to wait and one has to learn how to wait. There are things that cannot be done, they only happen. There are things that can be done but those things belong to the world… Things that cannot be done, only they are the real things. They always happen to you; you become a receiving end. And that is the meaning of surrender. Become a receiving end, be patient and just wait. Wait with deep love, prayerfulness, gratitude – gratitude for that which has already happened, and patience for that which is going to happen.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 26
Capricorn
“Reason can only be a spectator; it can never be a participant. It is always on the safe side watching from somewhere where there is no danger. The mind is the eyes and the totality is neglected… Touch is no longer meaningful, smell and taste are no longer meaningful. They are just neglected parts. Sometimes the mind allows you to enjoy them but the control remains with the mind… You are more than your mind, infinitely more, so don’t go on locked in the mind, imprisoned in the mind. Laugh, weep, dance, cry, sing, run, jog, jump! Do whatsoever, but don’t think about it!”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 12
Aquarius
“When two persons are in tune then God is available. When a group is in tune egos dissolve and a group soul exists, and that takes possession of you. In that moment your ego is not a barrier and the divine can become more easily available to you. Alone you resist more. Alone you are more on guard trying to secure yourself. Alone you remain with closed doors. But, when others open, suddenly it is catching. It is contagious… In that moment you are also persuaded to be open. There is no need to fear.”
Osho, Above All, Don’t Wobble, Ch 25
Pisces
“Pain and suffering remain with life; they are part of it. You just need a clarity to see everything in the right perspective… Then it all falls in line. Even pain, even suffering, become part of a greater harmony… Unhappiness is needed as much as happiness. They are like two wings… You have to use both to fly into the sky of existence. Then you accept, and you accept in deep gratefulness. Even suffering is accepted because now you see it has a meaning… Go on creating more and more clarity and that is the only change that there is, that is the only mutation… That is the perfection of clarity – everything is as it should be, nothing else is needed. Everything is perfect. This world is the perfect world.”
