This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho from the series, Until you Die. “The mystery of life is not something which can be solved or which is ever solved. It has to be lived.”
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 Moment
“You are just a beginner on the first rung of the ladder!… The mystery of life is not something which can be solved or which is ever solved. It has to be lived… The more you know the less you feel you know. The more you know the more you feel the unknown surrounds you from everywhere. And in the final moment of knowing all knowledge drops. You know nothing!… But only out of that dark night is the morning born.”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 10
Aries
“You are standing in your own way and unless you understand it nothing is possible towards inner growth… Your barrier is you and it will follow you like a shadow… What is the mechanism of the ego which becomes the barrier?… If you can understand the birth of the ego you will know the secret of how to dissolve it… You see your reflection in the eyes of others, in their faces, in their words, and you go on accumulating those reflections… Not knowing who you are, you have to find an identity!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 9
Taurus
“You always move into the known. The same that you have done you do again, and you become more and more skilled in doing it. You become perfectly skilled in committing the same mistakes again and again… A conscious being moves from the known to the unknown. An unconscious being moves from the known to the known. He moves in a circle… From the unknown to the unknown, that is super-consciousness. Then a man becomes a sage!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 6
Gemini
“People have become enlightened through every sort of situation but one thing is absolutely necessary and that is watching… So whatsoever the situation you watch. And watch without any prejudice, and watch without the past. Watch without any thinking on your part. Don’t interpret, watch. If your eyes are clear, if your perception is clear and you watch silently, every situation leads towards the Divine, and this is how it should be!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 9
Cancer
“Whenever a mood comes to you, of anger, hatred, passion, sex, misery, sadness, happiness (even while meditating a moment of bliss) always remember, ‘This too will pass.’ Let it become a constant mindfulness, ‘This too will pass.’… If you can remember it continuously then happiness will not be happiness, just a phase, a cloud that comes and goes. It is not you. It comes and passes. It is not your being. It is something accidental, it is something on the periphery. You are the witness!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 8
Leo
“When you look in the mirror it is not you who is reflected in the mirror because you are not the seen but the seer… You are subjectivity, and you can never become an object. You are irreducible, so how to encounter oneself?… One has to move withinwards. One has to drop all the mirrors, the mirrors of the eyes – friendly eyes, inimical eyes, indifferent eyes… One has really to close one’s eyes and move withinwards to see that which cannot be seen – to meet the seer!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 9
Virgo
“Selfishness is a motivated action, you want something for yourself. Unselfishness is again motivated, you want something for the other. And through the other, deep down, you want something for yourself… To me selflessness is the real thing. You must come to understand the state of your being as no-self… Then you don’t calculate and count. Then you enjoy it and celebrate it. Then love comes unmotivated. It flows spontaneously for no reason at all. You cannot help it. It is there. It is natural!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 5
Libra
“The moment you hear ‘commitment’ you become afraid. That’s why… all that is beautiful and the deepest is disappearing… Sex is without involvement, love is a commitment. Sex is between two strangers, love is between two who are intimate… who feel an affinity, who are not there just to exploit each other but to grow with each other. A commitment is needed in love… Meditation is not possible if you are not committed… Commitment leads you to the very center of things!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 4
Scorpio
“Meditation is a state of being. I cannot give it to you… Dhyan is higher than life. You can sacrifice your life but you cannot sacrifice samadhi… Samadhi cannot be taken from you. Nobody can take it, purchase it, steal it, kill it. And unless you attain to samadhi you have not come to the real treasure. Even life is not a real treasure. That which cannot be taken away from you is real treasure. Even death cannot take it away from you. That is the criterion.”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 8
Sagittarius
“A man who is ready to learn can learn from anywhere. A man who is not ready to learn cannot learn even from a Buddha. It depends on you… You have been missing opportunities every day. Every moment the guidance is there. The Divine goes on calling you from different quarters but you don’t listen. In fact you think that you already know. That is the trouble… If you know that you already know, you will not be able to know. First recognize that you don’t know!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 9
Capricorn
“Meditation is not something apart from life. Meditation is just a quality of being whole and total in something. You can fetch water from the well and it can become meditation if you are totally in it… You fill the pots, you carry the water. Just the movements, nobody else separated, divided, it is meditation… If you become total in anything, I say – walking, listening, talking – if you become total, it is meditation… And this is the ecstasy – no past, no future, just in the moment here and now!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 9
Aquarius
“How can you talk with existence? With existence you have to be silent. All talking should stop. You are not to say something on the contrary. A prayer is a listening. You have to listen to existence, not to say something… If you talk and you are too much involved in the words, then who will listen? And every moment there is a message… Every moment from everywhere there is a message for you. It is written all over. The whole existence is the scripture of the Divine!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 10
Pisces
“The moment you start falling towards the heart, and it is a falling – falling like falling in an abyss… you become alone. Now nobody can be with you there, you in your total loneliness… Now you will not know where you are going, because nobody is there and there are no milestones. In fact there is no concrete solid path. Heart is unmapped, unmeasured, uncharted… The whole of my effort is to help you not to be afraid, because only through the heart will you be reborn!”
Osho, Until You Die, Ch 1
