HoroSmoke:
March

Aries

Think twice this month, Aries. There’s a flurry of activity happening in your sign, from Venus retrograding on the first to Mercury moving into Aries on the third- and of course, your season begins on the 20th! You’re the pioneer, Aries, and your power intimidates many, especially when you’re in alignment with verbose Mercury. Take care not to offend right now, and refrain from inflammatory discourse. Instead, use your direct communication skills to seek solutions or advocate for the less fortunate. Your impulses may lead you too quickly to defensiveness; take time to formulate real responses over reacting. This will be especially true in matters of romance. It’s highly likely an old flame will come calling again this month, but it’s not a chance to rekindle. It’s an opportunity to measure your progress! At the end of the month, enjoy the power-up provided by a solar eclipse, and the infusion of creativity heralded by Neptune’s re-entry into your sign after 14 years away. The Arkansas Cannabis Times recommends that you partake with grounding, soothing strains this month, such as Jungle Wifi by BOLD Cultivation, to keep you from getting carried away.

Taurus

Secrets are no fun, Taurus. Mercury moves into your 8th house of secrecy and the taboo on the third, shining a bright spotlight on the skeletons hanging in your closet. Mercury retrograde on the 15th makes matters worse, leaving no stone unturned in your private life. Avoid games of telephone or tactics of triangulation; say exactly what you mean and nothing more. It’s not a good time to share your plans with others or trust strangers. Your ruling planet Venus is also retrograde, which may cause a bit of a slump romantically and creatively until the lunar eclipse on the 14th, when the tide turns in your favor. With the month rife for conspiracy, we suggest hunkering down with only your closest confidants and keeping things low-key. Focus on introspection, self-care, and evaluating your boundaries. To make your reflective period more intentional, choose a mellow-mood product like River Valley Relief’s Live Resin Carts to help you reconnect with your inner vision (we suggest Orange 43 in particular to melt away stress.)

Gemini

Watch those blurred lines, Gemini. Venus retrograde on the first is hitting you harder than most. Friends may become lovers- or enemies! Mercury is spurring you onward into the social sphere, but if you aren’t careful you may overstep essential boundaries. There’s an air of confusion following you around right now that might leave an unsavory taste in the mouth of your acquaintances, so be on your very best behavior. Pick and choose invitations and don’t be lured into any compromising situations, no matter how tempted you are! The solar eclipse at the end of the month will close out this uncomfortable chapter and mark your re-entry into society as the beloved jester of the court. Don’t be surprised if you have an interesting mix of new friends seeking your attention on the 30th. Use your charm and charisma at the end of the month to ingratiate yourself into new spheres of influence. We recommend level-headed strains like Secret Agent, one of the hybrid extracts in Osage Creek’s line of Full Spectrum Vapes.

Cancer

Feeling shy, Cancer? Mercury’s movements have you tongue tied and tripping over your own feet. Your instinct is probably to curl back into your shell and hide from any curious eyes, but you’re better off pushing through your nerves and facing the world head-on. Try spreading your wings and traveling somewhere you’ve never been before on the 14th’s lunar eclipse or on the 27th. It doesn’t have to be the other side of the world; exploring a neighboring town or even a new coffee spot can give you the assertive boost you need. Hopefully you’re able to overcome any confidence crises by the end of the month, when the solar eclipse and transit of Neptune into Aries makes you especially effective at work. If you’ve had your eye on a promotion or a new position, then is the best time to pursue it. The Arkansas Cannabis Times recommends that you choose strains that will enliven you- try Futura Haze by Good Day Farm to get back in touch with your daring side.

Leo

Are you practicing stewardship, Leo? March starts off with a plethora of planets in your 8th house of shared resources, giving you a financial leg up. Don’t go feeling high and mighty, though- Venus retrograde on the first could cause a financial bleed if you aren’t prepared. Tighten your purse strings on the second when Jupiter squares your ruling planet, the sun. The lunar eclipse on the 14th is going to present a fiscal problem for you as well. Overall, the month of March is reflecting your financial wellness back to you from every angle- whether or not this causes calamity depends entirely on how you’ve managed your money up to this point. The good news is that when Neptune switches signs at the end of the month, the pressure will let up and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to travel! Until then, manage your stress levels with a zen blend of cannabinoids like those found in The Source’s Key Lime Cake gummies.

Virgo

Are you in the middle of a shit storm, Virgo? That’s to be expected right now; Venus retrograde is in full effect and there are no fewer than three planets in your 7th house of relationships. Try to get your affairs in order before the 15th, when Mercury stations retrograde and causes upheaval in your inner circle. Later on this month you’ll have several opportunities for some much-needed introspection in matters of the heart (and the wallet) when the sun moves into your 8th house on the 20th. Whatever patterns you’ve been playing out in your intimate connections will become clear. If you have the chance to make things right in some way, take it- any opportunities to clear out old karma will help you move forward in life. Take heart, Virgo. You’re going through a small death and rebirth this month that may feel painful in the moment, but ultimately will bring you further into alignment with your life’s purpose. Rely on soothing blends like the Wana Exotic Yuzu gummies (2:1 CBD to THC) from River Valley Relief to find your balance.

Libra

Life can’t always be glamorous, Libra. Your ruling planet Venus appears to be moving backward in the sky, but that doesn’t mean you have to backslide into any bad habits. Instead of despairing over any perceived setbacks, choose to cultivate patience and see the bright side of things- it’s not as bad as it seems! Take inspiration from Mercury’s entry into your sister sign, Aries, and be bold this month when asking for what you want or setting boundaries. You may be the peacemaker, but harmony doesn’t come from sacrificing your own needs. Focus on yourself and attend to your own affairs until the solar eclipse at the end of the month. By then, you’ll be feeling more like you- just in time to potentially meet someone new! Neptune’s shift on the 30th gives you an intuitive boost when it comes to understanding relationships. Ultimately, the month of March is asking you to make the best of what you have, Libra, so that you can be prepared for a new level of prosperity and connectedness. Choose products that support your mood, such as River Valley Relief’s Live Diamond extracts (Mai Tai #4 is a great option.)

Scorpio

You live up to your reputation this March, Scorpio. The other signs are mesmerized by your magnetic energy all month long. Several planets are mingling in your 5th house of romance, making you all the more appealing (like you need it!) Venus in retrograde can’t stop you from winning hearts, just try not to break them, too. The trine between the sun and Mars on the 8th infuses you with energy, and the lunar eclipse on the 14th reveals your next conquest- oops, we mean crush. When the sun moves into your fellow Mars-ruled zodiac Aries on the 20th, your reach expands even further, giving you the power you need to overcome any communication blockages brought on by the season’s retrogrades. You are elevated above the rest right now, Scorpio. While chaos breeds strife for other signs, you feel at home in your element, and know how to use uncertainty to your advantage. To make the most of this month’s passion, indulge in something sensual like the Lavender Bath Salts by Shake Extractions (found at Good Day Farm.)

Sagittarius

Mercury retrograde throws a wrench in your plans this month, Sag. Your blunt approach to life may not work as well right now, so try on tact starting on the 15th to keep the peace. However, the day before on the lunar eclipse, you’ll be recognized for your hard work, and may be collecting some kind of reward (financial, we hope). The rest of your month centers around home and family themes. Mercury’s movements on the 3rd could officiate a productive conversation with a relative. Venus and Mercury will be in your 4th house during the final week of March, potentially stirring ideas for a home renovation project or alteration to your living arrangements. It’s best to put off any action until the retrogrades have ended, though. Don’t work against the flow. Finally, expect a moment of divine inspiration or synchronicity on the day of the solar eclipse. Since this March requires you to think outside the box, we’re suggesting a stimulating and cerebral strain like BOLD Cultivation’s Headband Cookies.

Capricorn

Put on your walking shoes, Capricorn. You’re going to be going all over town this March, attending community events, getting familiar with your neighborhood, and potentially reconnecting with your siblings thanks to the sun in your 3rd house. When the lunar eclipse on the 14th rolls around, you’ll be ready to venture beyond the familiarity of your city and visit somewhere new (maybe even somewhere out of the country!) When the sun transitions into your 4th house of domesticity on the 20th, you’ll be called back to attend to matters on the home front. This is preparing you for Neptune’s upcoming move into your 4th house at month’s end, where it will stay for the next 14 years or so. You’ll be very busy evaluating large real estate decisions, purchases for the home, and finishing run-of-the-mill chores. The intention is to get settled into a long-term housing situation so that you can begin the work of truly settling down and nesting. Support your energy levels during this busy month with a rich terpene blend like the one found in The Source’s Sangria Botanical Cartridge.

Aquarius 

This month is a real mind game, Aqua. Your ability to self-regulate and control your own thinking will directly impact the world around you, especially your finances. Venus retrograde is presenting you with a thousand ways to blow your money, and whether or not you fall into the trap of overspending will depend on how strongly you respect your budget. The lunar eclipse and sun-Uranus sextile on the 14th will help you navigate by providing an fortuitous moment for problem solving. When Venus and Mercury transition into Pisces at the end of the month, you’ll have to prove whether or not you’ve grown over this time period- hopefully you’ve been intentional, because you’re at risk of making poor emotional decisions (yes, you!) The good news is that Neptune is about to settle into your 12th house of subconscious intuition and imagination for the next 14 years. This is a favorable position that will help you create the life you want with more ease. Stay sharp this month by choosing strains that can help you focus, such as Osage Creek Cultivation’s Full Spectrum Vape in Motorcycle Cowboy.
