Now monthly: The HIGH TIMES astrological forecast complete with strain recommendations! AskAelieanything! Find her onFacebookandTwitter. ARIES White is the color of raw cotton the hair of our grandparents soft kittens that bounce on toilet paper and Casper the ghost. It is crisp linens a flag of surrender racist pointy hats and robes clouds and snow. It is the absence of color and yet it contains all colors. It is heavy with implications in society politics mythology psychology and art. It is lighter than air. White is complex as are you. There is no way through this month without blinding yourself in the bright light of revelation. A woke moment is upon you. Keep a grip on yourself during this time or the white you see could be from the padded cells of a hopefully symbolic sanatorium.Strain recommendation: Green Crack TAURUS Brown is the color of hair eyes skin fur and Mother Earth. It is natural things like tree bark and poop. So much of our living world is brown. It is comforting organic and wholesome. It is real. It is your color this month. You are incapable of fakeness right now. You are so you: all over the place all over your face inescapably you. Some like it; some dont. No matter: keep your chin up and get on with the business of doing you to-the-max. And there is a lot to do. People need telling off others need inspiring. Youve been procrastinating but nows the time to make your mark. You will be heard believe me.Strain recommendation: Super Blue Dream GEMINI Pink is the color of little animal noses party dresses cotton candy some peoples lips genitalia and skin a rare steak a monkeys butt a flower. It is sensitive and raw much like you are this month. Careful not to upset the pinkness of you your friends and family are walking on eggshells. You are not the strong pink of the womens march knitted pussy hat: you are the easily offended and hurt by everything light pink of a scraped knee. I send many pink candy hearts your way in hopes that some compassion will ease the sting of this month but I also offer you a pink ribbon to remind you that many have it much harder than you right now.Strain recommendation: White Rhino CANCER Black is the color of hair of fur of skin and the night. It is the stuff of myths. Its powerful and clean containing all and consuming everything. Like white it can represent almost anything to anyone from mourning to fashion from outer space to the sacred place behind our closed eyes. It holds all colors and is the absolute absence of it. It is taken seriously. You wear the color black on your soul this month. You are everything and nothing. You are the ALL. Rarely are you more capable of achieving what you desire. You have the strength and gravitas to make big things happen. Pick your direction and GO GO GO.Strain recommendation: Tangerine Haze LEO Yellow is more than the color of Donovans true loves hair. It is the sun the moon the stars and cake. Its Big Bird and buttercups jaundice and pee. Most yellow things are as frivolous and carefree as a Tweety Pie eating a banana. Your yellow month has arrived and I encourage you to make the most of it. Be silly. Speak in nothing more than dad jokes and limericks. Give no fucks. Everything must slide like water off a rubber duckys back. You will be forgiven for peeing in the pool because you cant help it: the cosmos have nothing serious planned for you at all. If something heavy does come down on you put on your yellow rain coat and take it with a spoonful of golden honey.Strain recommendation: Honey Bananas VIRGO Green: nature abounds with vibrant shades of it. Verdant fresh cut grass: that is your smell this month. Spring forward fresh and awake to all possibility. A brand new mindset is upon you clean and unjaded. Beware however green is also the color of gangrene rot and infection. Keep your health up take your vitamins and charge forth with the vivacity of a zesty lime. Its no fun to be that person who refuses to shake hands in cold season but youll have to take the social hit to secure your wellbeing. There is so much to do and this young frog needs to jump!Strain recommendation: Red Headed Stranger LIBRA Orange rhymes with nothing and not many things are naturally orange beyond the namesake fruit pumpkins some flowers and birds and those rare freckly-faced beauties. It is a special color because it is somewhat scarce while also being the color of an element central to our survival as a species: Fire. You have an orange aura about you this month. We are in fact at the start of the Chinese year of the Rooster; being similarly hued might not be a bad thing. But what does Orange mean to you? Whatever part of you that is absolutely unique is the orange bit and thats whats shining right now. Nurture it love it and revel in it. Be proud to be a ginger!Strain recommendation: Super Silver Haze SCORPIO Purple will always be associated with Prince. He of course chose it to underscore his Princely name as it is traditionally the color of the monarchy. Ive also heard it described as the color of mental instability dreams sensuality and pain. It is somewhat rare in nature though prevalent in objects meant to resemble desirable things: like flavored juice candies paintings of sunsets semi-precious jewels (with the exception of the rare Purple diamond) and hair dye. You can be royal or you can be a reasonable facsimile at a reasonable price. Most people wont bother to investigate any deeper than what you choose to present on the surface so either way its your call.Strain recommendation: Blue Dream SAGITTARIUS Beige is often knocked as being bland and insipid. Sometimes simple can be good though: it is a staple of a classic wardrobe for example. And beyond fashion beige fur is a very handy natural camouflage for animals in a desert location. All in all it is a safe and somewhat boring choice. Some people are beige as is sand paper and dry long grasses. If you havent guessed the theme here are things that are mundane; exactly how your month should bea careful uneventful lame month of regular household duties easy work and a bit of telly before early nights to bed. You might as well act like you have the stomach flu and only eat weak tea and toast. Take it easy you need the restto heal and to prepare for whats to come.Strain recommendation: Purple Urkle CAPRICORN Blue is the color of almost everything. Ask most people what their favorite color is and they say blue. Its the stuff of dreams clear waters and bright skies. Its too big to fail; its all they said it would be but more; its everything but the kitchen sink. Its overwhelming and calming at the same time. This is your month in a nutshell. Endless streams of paper boats floating on still waters. Hunker down take it one page at a time enjoy the breaks breathe deeply and hug your animals a lot (people are animals too). By this months end you will master the blue and it will elevate you as reward.Strain recommendation: Blackberry AQUARIUS Gray used to be considered depressed institutional and monotonous: basically Kafkas The Trial if it was a color. Then it became the new neutral: accent walls and button down shirts popped up in grays. After that it got kind of cool like Blacks little sister whos just old enough to party and is bringing some new Scandinavian friends with her to the museum rave. These days its cozy: a fuzzy microfiber blanket and a Weimaraner dog on a rainy day in a beach house. After an eternity as the stalwart color of stalwarts it has drastically changed personas many times in the last 15 years. What a surprise it has turned out to be. This is your gray time. You are a chameleon switching up your tactics and tones with the ease of a variety show performer. This should come in handy as you navigate the many worlds you visit this month.Strain recommendation: Panama Red PISCES Red is a heavy hitter colorit connotes passion rage fear sex hell love heat boudoirs and Chinese New Year Valentines Day and clown noses fire trucks cherries hearts and blood. You are dripping in red my Pisces friends. So many oohs and aahs to be had this month. How exciting painful wonderful and terrifying. Brace yourself eat well grab whatever sleep you can: a rollercoaster is picking you up from work and a waterjet is dropping you off. A tidal wave is your shower and a cyclone your hair dryer. Its elderberries and ackee for breakfast puffer fish for lunch and Sannakji for dinner! But without the risk there is no chance for reward!Strain recommendation: Agent Orange by Aelie Câlin at High Times
