The astro energy of this month is working with an interplay between individuality and the collective. Each of us can objectively know we are our own Self, but also sense the interconnection with others. As the planetary cycles move within their orbits we too move in and around each other in multiple layers of meaning and experience. This month, we can cultivate a sense of mindful individuality, becoming as close to our divine self for the benefit of all beings.

One of the most prominent aspects of the astrological sky is the Venus retrograde taking place in Gemini this month. This energy pulls us back and almost creates a sense of nostalgia for things since passed. We should be aware of the human mind’s ability to ‘re-write’ our stories and use these energies as a reframing tool to explore in-depth how we view and why we view the past in the way that we do. Once we have gathered this information it becomes easier to understand where we are coming from in this present moment, helping us stay mindful to our ever-present unfolding.

Aries ♈︎

Old friends or relationships can resurface at this time, past relationships or people you considered not a part of your life anymore may come back into your physical or mental spaces.

Try not to overthink but instead absorb on a cellular level what is being shown to you.

Gemstone: Autumn Jasper

Sagittarius ♐︎

A soulful journey is likely beginning at this time. You are questioning things, life, how you are living and might even be motivated to make some important changes.

If you're part of our Mala Collective community, you know that at the end of each month we create and send out monthly horoscopes. These horoscopes have become a company ritual that we all look forward to each and every month. 

With that being said, we wanted to let you know that we have an actual Astrologer write and create these horoscopes each month. She is amazing and today we want to share her with you. Get ready to meet the incredible, Emma!

Who is Emma?

Emma is an astrologer that has been studying and practicing astrology for the past 10 years. She attended Portland School of Astrology in 2013 shortly after moving to Portland, Oregon which gave her a solid foundation of astrological training. Emma loves to attend astrology conferences and workshops in order to connect with other astrologers in the community. She would describe her astrological style as casual, earthy, and intuitive.

Emma began freelance writing in 2016, finding her niche on websites related to spirituality, astrology, and the occult. Her horoscopes, articles, and other work can be found across different platforms on applications, blogs, and websites. She also has her own online home at mysticaastrology.com—where she offers readings, articles, and learning.

Emma has a mostly animist worldview and sees herself, others, and nature as an interweaving of divine, spiritual energy. She is inspired by art, soulful music, deep study, looking at the night sky, seeking personal gnosis, beauty, herbalism, hospice work, being in the woods, and all the experiential and sensuous aspects of being human.

We decided to get to know Emma a little more, so here's a short + sweet Q&A we did with her:

How do you practice mindfulness?

Mindfulness is something I need to constantly remind myself to practice, it doesn’t come easily to me. Often times, I feel my mind running far ahead of me and I have to gently bring myself back into the present moment. If I start my day off with a mindfulness meditation, I notice it is much easier to access that energy later in the day when I encounter something that feels off or uncomfortable. I also like to get to places or events early, so I can kind of mindfully tune in with myself, breath, relax, or whatever is needed prior to engaging with others.

What is your daily meditation practice?

I wake up early, around 5 or 6 in the morning every day to make time for my daily spiritual practice. I realize this very quiet space in the morning is when I get the most out of my meditations. My daily practice is a sort of sitting practice. I take long deep breaths until I feel myself as a sort of receiver for the energy around me. I don’t tend to do a lot of visualizations or prompts for myself, but settle into the silence and receptivity; listening to what I consider my soul.

What are your favorite gemstones?

Moldavite is by far my favorite gemstone, it feels like an old friend and I wear a big chunk of it on a ring that I rarely ever take off. I also really enjoy the gentle energies of emerald and selenite, but prefer the slightly more intense feelings I get from azurite, kyanite, and black tourmaline—at least for me this is how it feels!

How do you ground yourself?

Grounding is so, so important to me. I like to lay on the actual ground, in the grass, or outside somewhere. I am a floor dweller for sure. Other things I do to stay centered are carry snacks, water, and a small chunk of black tourmaline in my bag. If needed, I also do a meditation visualizing myself as roots that reach deep into the earth. I have tried a lot of things over the years, but these tend to be the ones that have stayed the most constant for me.

What led you to astrology?

I was always drawn towards the expansive beauty of the night sky. I am also a painter and discovered my passion for painting images of the Sun, Moon, and stars when I was young, always kind of attracted to the cyclical nature of the world and the changing seasons—which the practice of astrology easily roots into. 

As a teenager I really just began structuring my world view around people’s signs, To be honest I became pretty obsessive about it, like so many of us astrology enthusiasts tend to do! It was hard even to interact with people without knowing their sign for a while. I have become much more realistic about the limits of astrology or any system really if we get to narrowly focused in one lane.

My brain took a while to get into the nitty gritty details of astrology. Once I started attending the school in Portland, I kind of “accelerated” my learning and consumed as much information as I could. I didn’t really discover that I wanted to write or that I could even write about astrology until I started my blog in 2015. I practice an earth-based spirituality and have started plans for a book that explores the Earth within the context of astrology.

What is your sign?

I am a Capricorn Sun, Aries Moon, and Taurus Rising.

The Sun in my chart is right between Saturn and Neptune, which could be interpreted as a constant tension to find the center within the dreamy, mystical and the earthy, practical. Which from the outside, describes me pretty accurately!

A shift has taken place in our world, on a macrocosmic and microcosmic level. We can feel this change in our communities but also in our own bodies and minds. This is not an easy time to be human upon the earth, but that tension also gives us room to address our psychological complexes, explore the wisdom in connection, and ultimately discover a pathway towards greater wholeness. This is a great time to learn what healing means to you and where it begins within you. Body, mind, and spirit are malleable, receptive, and vulnerable to these truths at this time. Astrologically this month, we are in touch with what is physical and how we are affected by the spiritual. Remember to pause, breath, and center.

Aries ♈︎

Your earthy nature and desire claws out from inside of you and settles on the surface of your very being. Each and every base need will be addressed right now. Every action you take has a purpose towards you feeling more secure, happy, and whole. Exercise is your best friend right now. You need this time spent in your body to truly feel aligned in each part of your being. Focus on the belly area, this is your center and willpower. Breath deeply into this area of self to fully experience a sense of independence, self-reliance, and ultimate belonging.

Gemstone: Tiger’s Eye

Taurus ♉︎

At times this month, you will feel your mind is completely made up, not a thing could possibly change it. Then, surprisingly, something does. What are these forces in the Universe that cause you to shift and move on your life path? These major shifts in perspective come as quite a shock, as you often rely on the grounding energy of staying in a steady mindset. You will learn this month that you can withstand change. That transformation is something you can hold in your body, experience, and even find ecstatic joy in. This is a month of many firsts. Embrace the wild ride!

Gemstone: Amethyst

Gemini ♊︎

This month pulls you up and out of a funk and into a place of brighter spiritual wellness. The first half of the month you might feel you are slogging through but the second half of the month you will see things start to shake loose and blocks start to unbind. A great area to place your focus on this month is on energetic healing with the mind. Consider doing a meditation that scans your body for knots or breaks in the auric field. You can work on these areas, cleansing, and healing what is normally hidden. Answers to long held mysteries have a way of being revealed right now and the insights that come through are profound.

Gemstone: Obsidian

Cancer ♋︎

You desire warmth, physical comfort, and wellness at this time. Over the course of the month you seek to make subtle changes that gently guide you to a greater sense of healing and wholeness. Light a candle each day in dedication to your spiritual path. The heat of the flame represents the heat that is flowing through you. Find your courage, located at the heart of yourself, to be as big as you want to be. Let yourself reveal to others who is the true you striving to be expressed. Lightness, sweetness, and dreaminess let you step forward without fear.

Gemstone: Tourmaline

Leo ♌︎

While many people are having a decrease in work, you seem to be having an increase in workload. This means your self-care routine is of the utmost importance. Your physical body well happens in tandem with your mental body also being well. If possible, give yourself at least 5 minutes a day for breath work or mindfulness meditation. This will be an invaluable practice for you this month in order to reduce tension, anxiety, and manage heavy workloads. Another great way for you to stay centered throughout this month is to talk about how you feel. Having openness about your feelings and experiences keeps life grounded and ensures you get the support you might need at this time.

Gemstone: Howlite

Virgo ♍︎

Language, words, and wisdom. You want these things and are willing to expend energy to get them. The powerful tool that is your brain is experiencing a thirst for knowledge. You want a teacher that will show you how to ground and be present. You also want a teacher that will show you what it means to be human in this physical experience. Of course, you already know, the teacher is within. This doesn’t mean outside support, mentors, and guides cannot be of immense value on your life path. Read up, research, and gather this month.

Gemstone: Labradorite

Libra ♎︎

Self-love, self-worth, and value…what do these things really mean to you? You are looking at these themes now with your deepest most radical truth and it can be a lot! But nothing you cannot handle. You are living in the realest of realities within your mind and experiencing life from a more vivid, meaningful, and purposeful existence. Channel this burst in spiritual energy into long meditation sessions, deep breathing exercises, and dreamy visualizations. Your mind is more open and expanded and ready to let more in.

Gemstone: Moonstone

Scorpio ♏︎

The way in which you relate to others has opened up all of your empathic senses and intuition this month. Each emotion, feeling, and thought seems to be permeating through your tough exterior and melding itself within you. Learning to filter these energies is great work, but work you are wholly prepared for. Meditation is an excellent area for mastering your mind, emotions, and thoughts. You have ultimate authority on what gets passed to you, how you transmute these energies is a gateway to functioning more fully in this physical world.

Gemstone: Amazonite

Sagittarius ♐︎

A deliberate physical wellness routine is exactly what you are craving this month. Something you set out to do each day is healing, fulfilling, and life-affirming. While your mind is busy running far down the road, your body is requesting you put in action to maintain stability day to day. Work on your morning routine, this is where you will find the most solace. Carve out a chunk of time for a nice cup of tea, look at nature, meditate, journal, or any other activity that brings your mind into the physical moment. Starting your day with a routine anchors you and prepares you to operate with more mindfulness overall. 

Gemstone: Lava

Capricorn ♑︎

Although, not your conscious preference, you tend to learn lessons the hard way. This month your mind is blown by a confronting experience with the subconscious mind. When these truths become conscious you now have a chance to work, integrate, and ultimately unify all of yourself together. Spend time journeying with the self through meditation to these parts of hidden shadow and unexplained realities. Your imagination is the vehicle that starts you on these paths, and your Higher Spirit will guide you towards center.

Gemstone: Rose Quartz

Aquarius ♒︎

A re-organization of what it means to be at home and in your home is present this month. You express what you want to see restructured and take action towards these visions. Sleep health is where you should place your focus right now. An overactive body and mind might be keeping you up at night. There are ways in which you can explore sleep and meditation as one. Use this month to research and try out different versions of sleep hygiene. Routine setting is actually very healing for you. Consider the practices of sleep yoga.

Gemstone: Smokey Quartz

Pisces ♓︎

A stable mindset leads to a stable routine, and that is exactly what you need this month. Your mind is scattered in seemingly a hundred different directions or intensely focused on just one. What you need is to find a balance between input and output. There is sensory information constantly being exchanged between your mind and the environment. Routine, especially one that includes a daily meditation or spiritual practice, roots the different experiences of reality to a single time and place. This helps your creative explorations find solid expression in each moment.

Gemstone: Rhodonite

Gemstone: Opal

Sagittarius ♐︎
