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. This can be a great time to re-work some aspects of your local community through leadership and similar qualities you naturally possess! Stay mindful of the deeper emotions, stresses, and unforeseen obstacles that might be affecting others right now. Your awareness of these energies allows you to make the best decisions for everyone involved.

Gemstone: Ruby

Taurus ♉︎

Someone may be calling into question your personal value system or ethics. You know who you are and who you want to be, stand strong and true in the knowledge. This is a great month for inviting another person into your personal spaces. Maybe sharing your thoughts, belief system, or spiritual practices with a close friend. The comrade created can feel holistic and healing, it will also provide a sense of validation in uncertain times. 

Gemstone: Amethyst

Gemini ♊︎

Spiritual and soul exploration are available to you at this time, especially in regard to how you relate to others. Love is medicine for you right now; community and being together help you maintain a sense of warmth and presence. A harmonizing of the left and right sides of the brain bring you into perfect center. Meditate on this idea and see how you feel when you focus on one hemisphere of the brain versus the other!

Gemstone: Pyrite

 

Cancer ♋︎

You are not necessarily a fighter, but neither will you take things lying down. You are a very strong zodiac sign that is able to accept and work through rather than suppress how you really feel. This type of authentic living is very strong with you this month. You will feel it in your heart, you will feel it in the way you learn, study, and mentor others. Just by being yourself you are a teacher to others and a spiritual warrior of authenticity.

Gemstone: Jade

 

Leo ♌︎

A craving for socialization is very strong this month! You want to be in the same physical presence as those you love. This may or may not be an option at the moment depending on where you live in the world. Work through this tension by meditating and exercising. Sit with the uncomfortable energy rather than denying it exists. This will help you integrate and gain mindful mastery over your emotions.

Gemstone: Opal

Virgo ♍︎

Passion is growing in your approach to relationships. You are much more vocal this month and openly intense in your partnerships, especially romantic ones. This passion and desire to live the life you want is easily communicated. Taking physical action steps towards your interests, goals, and dreams in life is recommended, especially if they are career related in some way. Good things are happening for you!

Gemstone: Rudraksha

Libra ♎︎

You invite in an expanded sense of consciousness right now and are becoming more and more comfortable with your own personal belief system. When you look at how you organize your world, you may decide there are some changes you want to make. Go with this! Restructuring a worldview can be a great challenge, but can yield incredible results that align with your inner self.

Gemstone: Rhodonite

Scorpio ♏︎

When you decide on something your mind is pretty set, unless you are presented with pretty strong facts to convince you otherwise. This month, you will be presented with some new information that illuminates an area of thinking you haven’t really given your full attention. Meditate on these new ideas, let them wash over you. 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. Some inner dissatisfaction can be used to help you discover what you really want to be doing with your life. Consider and visualize being in the moment. If you don’t like circumstances as they, remember you have the power to change them!

Gemstone: Garnet

Capricorn ♑︎

Healthy living and grounding are where your attention will focus this month. You are discovering what does and does not work with your body. Spend as much time as you can grounding and practicing mindfulness. This will help you root into what you actually need to initiate change instead of just accepting things the way they are. Learning about yourself intensifies this month.

Gemstone: Tiger's Eye

Aquarius ♒︎

A close examination of your relationships is likely this month, including commitments and close ties you share with others. You might be feeling restless which gets translated into complicated created projects and interesting activities. A new person is likely to enter your life this month. Be mindful of who resonates with you and why. This is the key to unlocking that connection!

Gemstone: Chrysocolla

Pisces ♓︎

The spirit of the musician is strong with you at this time. As you find your voice, you notice it comes from that deep place within at the center, up from the root and the belly.

Gemstone: African Turquoise

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

Your leadership abilities can be expressed in full this month.

Gemstone: Smokey Quartz

Taurus ♉︎

Shifts in your public persona are taking place right now, due to an intense internal pressure. The energy may have been building for a while as Taurus is a sign that burns slow and steady.

Your confidence is sky rocketing, be mindful that your intensity levels may be higher than those around you.

Gemstone: Garnet

Gemini ♊︎

A deep sense of justice is stirring up in you—making you ready to rise as the timing is right.

Gemstone: Lava

Scorpio ♏︎

Fluctuations in scheduling and the structure of your life is likely right now. A re-evaluation is in order as you come to understand that something new is trying to enter your life. You need to declutter something outworn or old. A new routine that leaves a bad habit behind, will bring you nearer to your full nature. A beautiful sense of intensity helps you carve a new path for yourself in the way your higher self envisions everything to be.

Gemstone: Opal

Sagittarius ♐︎

There is a high chance right now that you are trying to keep something secret or under wraps from the people in your life. Ask yourself if being open and honest would help smooth things over a bit or decrease tension in your life? There is nothing like the sound of the truth. Communication is your theme right now and it is time to get creative with your approach! Let the words you weave be the magic you want to make.

Gemstone: Amethyst

Capricorn ♑︎

Your life is seeing some radical shifts and changes right now. You are doing everything in your power to keep up! Some very private matters around personal identity are likely to break free this month. The loosening up of these tightly structured approaches you have been taken will actually be a great relief. Mindfully settle into the pace of this present moment. You are able to take added pressure from the outside world while standing strong in your center.

Gemstone: African Turquoise

Aquarius ♒︎

A strange combination of movement and restriction seems to be at odds within you. Find the energy and strength within this tension. One of the best ways to work with this energy is to create or make something. You can dance, sing, paint, write, or a number of other beautiful outlets for your talents. Revealing your vulnerabilities to a close friend or partner will help strengthen your bond and deepen your life experience at this time.

Gemstone: Tiger’s Eye

Pisces ♓︎

Notice what you need and set yourself up to work towards that. For you, things start in the mind and imagination right now, honor this part of self. There is motivation to make moves on something that you have been dreaming about for quite some time. You have the gifts to see things manifest, but you need to take that first step. This is the month to take one action towards a major life goal of yours.

Gemstone: Pyrite

Find your center and stay present. This month is about making space for all things and all forms of expression within you, mending what is broken. Keep in mind that the energy is very gentle and subtle right now, things will not at first feel obvious, but start to unfold as you stay mindful and passionate. Keep the concept of nuance in mind.

Aries ♈︎

At the beginning of the month you may feel challenges arise in your relationships, especially in relation to power, authority, or a partner. There will be plenty of time to work through these energies following the Mercury retrograde later in the month. During this time, practice listening, and being open to your own intuitive energies. This will help you walk with authenticity and not compromise parts of yourself.

Gemstone: Ruby

Taurus ♉︎

The month of March can have a radical effect on your interactions with community and the world at large. You are being more open and merging with others and groups, discovering identity and how you want to move through the world.

Gemstone: Lava

Cancer ♋︎

You are feeling more connected to expansive and Universal energy this month. The physical world is just not as interesting to you at this time.

Senses are heightened and finding a place to direct these feelings will help you through this time.

Gemstone: Opal

Leo ♌︎

Partnerships take up much of your attention this month and you easily shut out the outer world.
