Star signs and cannabis strains: July 2025 horoscopes

Published

on


Welcome to a very busy July, stargazers. With so much heaviness in the world right now, it’s more important than ever to find softness where you can. Luckily, Cancer season is here to wrap us in its nurturing, water-sign warmth. It’s a good time to stay close to what feels real. Shared meals, quiet evenings, tending to your plants or pets, maybe a slow smoke session under a shaded tree. This isn’t the month for powering through; it’s for protecting your energy and letting yourself just be.

Four major transits shape the emotional landscape this month. Neptune goes retrograde on July 4th, clearing the fog and revealing where we’ve been clinging to illusions, sometimes comforting, sometimes necessary. Then on July 7th, Uranus enters Gemini, stirring the mental pot and bringing unexpected conversations or insights that might just change your outlook. Saturn retrograde starts on July 13th, asking us to review our responsibilities and long-term commitments. No need to panic, just get honest. And on July 18th, Mercury retrograde kicks in, as always, reminding us to slow down with communication, tech, and travel. Light up, take a breath, and know that not every message needs to be sent right away.

Even with all this cosmic movement, July offers moments of awe. Nothing takes the edge off a heavy day like a joint and a sky full of stars. Look up and you’ll catch Saturn rising in the evening sky, around 11 pm on July 1st and earlier—9 pm—by the end of the month. Through binoculars or a telescope, you might even glimpse the southern side of its rings. And just before dawn, Venus and Jupiter begin to reappear in the early morning sky. Buckle in, stargazers. This month’s sky is busy, beautiful, and begging you to slow down, spark up, and stay present.

On July 7th, Uranus enters your sign, bringing a powerful wave of change to your sense of self.

Embrace the fresh energy, it’s here to help you grow.

Saturn goes retrograde on July 13th, asking you to rethink your commitments, especially around education, travel, or personal growth. It’s not about abandoning your path, it’s about making sure it still feels right.

Take your time making decisions and be gentle with yourself if things don’t go smoothly.

You’re not losing control, you’re stepping into a new version of yourself, piece by piece.

You may feel unsure about a financial or emotional bond, but don’t force clarity. Let things settle. Then, on July 7th, Uranus moves into Gemini, shaking up your social scene. Friendships, group dynamics, and even your goals could shift quickly. Stay open—new people or ideas could spark long-term changes in how you connect and contribute.

Saturn retrograde begins July 13th, highlighting deeper emotional commitments or obligations that need revisiting. If something feels heavy, it’s not a sign to quit; it’s a chance to reassess what’s worth your time and energy. Mercury goes retrograde on July 18th, just before Leo season kicks off, which could make you second-guess yourself. Miscommunications are likely, so give yourself grace and try not to overreact to small stuff. This month is more about realignment than action. You don’t need to have all the answers, just keep showing up with heart.

This indica-leaning hybrid keeps you grounded, social, and emotionally in tune so you can shine without burning out.

July isn’t about powering through; it’s about adjusting, listening, and making room for what’s evolving under the surface. You’re growing in ways you may not fully see yet, and that’s okay. Trust the process.


Sagittarius: Gastro Pop

July brings some emotional undercurrents, Sagittarius, but also a spark of fresh connection. Neptune goes retrograde on July 4th, stirring up memories or unresolved feelings around home and family. You might feel more sensitive than usual; give yourself space to process, and don’t worry if you’re not sure what’s next. On July 7th, Uranus enters Gemini, your opposite sign, bringing unexpected changes to your relationships. New people may enter your life quickly, or an existing connection could shift gears. Keep an open heart, but don’t rush into anything; let things unfold naturally.

Saturn turns retrograde on July 13th, putting a spotlight on responsibilities, especially around communication and everyday commitments. You may need to slow down and reassess how you’re handling your time and energy. Then Mercury goes retrograde on July 18th, which could stir up mix-ups in contracts, conversations, or shared decisions, especially in partnerships. Double-check the details and don’t jump to conclusions. July is more about checking in than charging ahead. You don’t have to figure it all out now; just stay grounded, stay curious, and let things settle into place.

With its sweet grape, citrus, and pepper flavor combo and chill social buzz, Gastro Pop is perfect as you roll into leadership mode and connect with colleagues or loved ones, without coming off too intense.


Capricorn: Sundae Driver

July invites you to slow your roll, Capricorn, and pay closer attention to the details you usually power past. Neptune turns retrograde on July 4th, softening your mental pace and encouraging deeper reflection. You may find it harder to focus or communicate clearly at first, but that’s a cue to listen more and push less. On July 7th, Uranus moves into Gemini, stirring up change in your daily routines, work habits, or even your health. If things start feeling unpredictable, treat it as a chance to innovate, not a crisis.

Saturn, your ruling planet, goes retrograde on July 13th, pulling you inward to reassess your values, goals, or how you use your resources. If something feels out of sync, trust that now’s the time to realign, not force progress. Mercury goes retrograde on July 18th, which may complicate conversations and logistics, especially on the job or in everyday tasks. Build in extra time and patience. July isn’t here to knock you off track; it’s offering you space to catch your breath, recalibrate, and approach things with more clarity. Be kind to yourself as you adjust. You’re doing just fine.

Sundae Driver’s creamy, grape‑vanilla buzz eases those intense Capricorn vibes and keeps you pleasantly grounded while you juggle a lot this month.


Aquarius: Midnight

July asks you to trust your instincts and give yourself permission to shift gears, Aquarius. Neptune goes retrograde on July 4th, which may bring some fuzziness around money, self-worth, or what really fuels your sense of security. If you’re feeling uncertain, take it as a nudge to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters to you. On July 7th, your ruling planet Uranus enters fellow air sign Gemini, kicking off a wave of change in your creative life, love life, or how you express yourself. Things may feel unpredictable, but that spark of inspiration? That’s real; follow it.

Saturn turns retrograde on July 13th, encouraging you to rethink how you’re managing your resources and long-term goals. You may feel a little pressure to get things “right,” but this is more about refinement than perfection. Mercury goes retrograde on July 18th, which can stir up delays or cross wires in love, creative projects, or communications with kids if you’re a parent. Be patient with yourself and others. July might not be the smoothest ride, but it’s helping you reset in the areas that matter most. Let go of the need to control every outcome; you’re evolving, even in the quiet moments.

Midnight’s gentle body calm and mood-lifting, lavender-flavored buzz lets you ride the wave this month.


Pisces: Lavender

July is a deeply reflective month for you, Pisces, and it starts right away with Neptune, your ruling planet, going retrograde on July 4th. You may feel extra sensitive or unsure of yourself, but this isn’t a step backward. It’s a chance to slow down, check in, and reconnect with your inner voice. Then on July 7th, Uranus moves into Gemini, bringing sudden changes or surprises at home or in your family life. Whether it’s a shift in living situation or a change in dynamics, try to stay flexible; new rhythms are emerging.

Saturn, currently in your sign, turns retrograde on July 13th. This might feel like a weight returning, asking you to take a closer look at your responsibilities, identity, or the path you’re carving for yourself. But don’t take it as a failure. This is your moment to refine and recommit. Mercury goes retrograde on July 18th, which can stir up confusion in your home life or personal history. Old issues might surface, but this is your chance to process them with more maturity and self-compassion. You don’t need all the answers this month. Just stay gentle, stay grounded, and take it one honest step at a time.

July’s emotional waves have you feeling extra sensitive, Pisces. Stay grounded, stay creative, and float through those emotional tides with ease with help from relaxing Lavender.

The best strains for dabbing

Published

on


Some cannabis strains smoke great as dried flower, while other cultivars have resin so pristine, they’re best enjoyed as hash oil. Though not mutually exclusive, some strains just perform better in the hash lab and on your banger than they do in the dry room or smoked in a bowl or joint. 

With 7/10, OIL DAY, on the horizon, I wanted to share a few of my favorite strains to dab and work with in the lab. Like 420 celebrated in July, 7/10 (OIL upside down) is a day we dedicate to the cannabinoid- and terpene-rich hash oil that cannabis produces.

Jump to a strain | Shop the strain

What makes a strain good for dabbing?

When it comes to dabbing, I search for flavor first. Though potency is always a key characteristic of a good strain to dab, once concentrated into hash oil, most strains reach potencies that exceed 65% THC. So it’s not a challenge to find a high-potency strain that will set you off, but it can be more difficult to nail down one that has a unique and exciting aroma or flavor profile at the same time. 

Follow your nose

There are many approaches to finding the right strain of oil to enjoy, depending on what type of experience you’re after. Regardless of the end result, I always recommend that people follow their nose and let their taste buds make the tough choices. Our body’s sense of smell tends to lead us to things we are inherently attracted to, or maybe it sends warning signs to something we might find offensive or have a distaste for. 

Either way, you can trust your body’s olfactory system to help steer you in the right direction. Since the aroma of cannabis is a fairly strong predictor of the overall flavor experience each strain creates, we can let our sense of smell help guide the way to Flavortown.

When dabbing with flavor top of mind and selecting the right strain, you’ll always find an enjoyable experience. If it doesn’t quite hit you with the punch you’re after, it’s as easy as taking another dab that’s bursting with a flavor profile you love. 

One of my favorite things to do once I’ve taken a nice flavorful dab is to take another dab. The ritual, the flavor, and the overall experience keep me coming back and on a perpetual hunt for the best hash oil. So fire up your banger or flip on your e-nail, and let’s work our way through this list of the best strains for dabbing this 7/10.


Sour Diesel

True Sours are harder and harder to find these days, but their resin is great for hash making, and the pungent sour flavors are even more enticing to dab. Bursting with dank, skunky aromas highlighted by sharp gasoline and the occasional hint of citrus or pine. A dab of Sour D will skyrocket you to an elevated mood and have you wondering how you dabbed through a gram so fast.

GMO

GMO, or really any strain that is heavy on Garlic terps, is a hash maker’s dream. With resin heads that want to fall off the stalk effortlessly, it’s one of my favorite cultivars to wash for rosin. Its funky, sharp aroma of garlic and pungent chemical fumes isn’t for everyone, but if the smell leaves you intrigued, be ready for a dab that might just change your whole outlook on cannabis flavor.


Trop Cherry

Citrus strains can be polarizing, with many finding the bright orange terpene profiles of strains like Trop Cherry to be too commonplace in the constant search for new flavors. However, when something’s good, it’s good no matter what the public outcry might be. Lately, Trop Cherry has been one of my favorite citrus strains to dab. The uplifting flavors provide a spark in my brain and remind me of fresh-squeezed orange juice with a splash of cherry grenadine.

Trop Cherry strain tile, one of our picks for the best strains for dabbing

Wedding Cake 

Some classic, sweet gas always makes for a proper dab. Wedding Cake’s rich flavors of vanilla and sharp gas fumes will rev up your endocannabinoid system and surprise you with its potent punch. If Wedding Cake isn’t available, ask for other gassy strains like Animal Crackers, a dank earthy alternative, or Grape Gas for something pungent yet subtly fruity.


The Original Z or Zkittlez

The unstoppable, award-winning candy terps of Zkittles are undeniable, especially when dabbed. A quick search will yield a list longer than a CVS receipt, full of all the competitors who’ve won hash contests and cups with this strain. There is a good reason for that! The unique fruit flavors have an exceptional sweetness that is the closest thing to dabbing candy, only with THC instead of corn syrup. Personally, I think The Original Z is one strain that is always better dabbed rather than combusted. The nuanced candy flavors shine brighter when this strain is made into hash oil.

Lemon Peel

Citrus terps are common in cannabis, but typically they lean towards the orange side of things, thanks in large part to Tangie’s strong legacy for producing top-notch hash. With that in mind, Lemon Peel stands out from the crowd for its sweet lemony flavors and the rich hash it produces. When done right, it reminds me of a thick lemon custard and always puts me in a good mood.

Great! Now I want a dab of Lemon Peel!


Papaya

Papaya doesn’t tend to be the prettiest-looking flower. So many growers and smokers pass it over, but talk to anyone who’s dabbed it, and they’ll tell you that the sharp flavors are sure to put a smile on your face. Papaya has the taste of over-ripe, slowly fermenting tropical fruit, which might be a little off-putting to some at first, but the flavors are so unique and finish with a sweetness that makes you want to try it again just to confirm that your body isn’t playing tricks on you.


Mimosa

Like I said above, citrus terps are everywhere, and that causes some of the best to get lost in the shuffle or blend together on dispensary shelves. However, Mimosa is one of my long-standing favorites for its sweet finish and soaring blissfulness. The influence of Purple Punch on its tangerine palate is something that helps it stand out against the other orange terps of the world. Personally, I’ve been digging Mintmosa lately, a hybrid of Mimosa’s sweet orange citrus with a skunk punch from WiFi Mints. The best of both sweet citrus and funky dankness that I can’t seem to get enough of.


Chemdawg

Just like GMO, Chemdawg, Chemdog, ChemD, Chem 91, and all the other Chem strains are some of my first choices when it comes to dabbing for potency and flavor combined. The chemical-fueled flavors are some of my favorite terps and always seem to be a strong indication of high-octane effects and mind-numbing euphoria.


Did I miss your favorite strain to dab? Let me know what your dabbing for 7/10 this year or if there’s something new I’m missing that deserves a place in my hash stash.

Happy 7/10 y’all!

What strains would these queer icons smoke?

Published

on


Find a bouquet of strains beautifully paired with some of our favorite queer icons.


Divine walks into a dispensary… What do you think she’s picking up? Get ready for Pride weekend with us as we pair some of our favorite queer icons with the strains we think they’d smoke.


Jump to an icon


Marsha P. Johnson – Northern Lights

For her decades of advocacy and invaluable contributions to the gay liberation movement, Marsha P. Johnson deserves the whole sky. We’d like to think she’d be smoking some Northern Lights, a suitably influential strain for the incomparable icon, and taking time to rest with its euphoric, relaxing effects. 


James Baldwin – Fire OG

The author of iconic works like Giovanni’s Room and The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin never hesitated to speak truth to power. We think Baldwin would be smoking something as bold and uncompromising as he was—Fire OG is one of the strongest OG strains, with potent, long-lasting effects, a perfect match for the legendary writer.


RuPaul – Headband

The iconic producer and host of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the drag competition show that’s catipulated hundreds of queens into international stardom, RuPaul has made an indelible mark on queer culture.

Mama Ru’s been sober since 1999, but if she were to recommend a strain, we think it’d be Headband. The love-child of cannabis’ power couple, OG Kush and Sour Diesel, Headband is a smooth, lemon-diesel, stress-relieving smoke. It’s a potent strain, so you’ll have to stay on your toes when Ru asks, “How’s your head?”


Harvey Milk – Acapulco Gold

“The Mayor of Castro Street,” Harvey Milk’s impact on the gay rights movement reaches far past the eleven months he spent in public office before his tragic assassination. A man of the people and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, Milk reportedly quit personal cannabis consumption in the mid-70s, but remained a proponent of cannabis legalization.

In the early 70s, we think he would have been smoking one of the classic strains of the day, Acapulco Gold, with its motivating and energizing effects being well-suited to campaigning and advocacy work.


Laverne Cox – Lavender

Laverne Cox has a whole bevy of “firsts” under her belt—the first transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in the acting category, the first trans person to appear on the cover of Time magazine—and we stan her advocacy and representation.

We think she’d be kicking back with some Lavender, enjoying the complexity of its floral, spicy aroma, and getting some recharge time thanks to its indica-leaning effects.


Rob Halford – Lilac Diesel

The Metal God himself, Rob Halford, has one of the most iconic voices of all time, and left his unmistakable leather, chains, and motorcycles mark on heavy metal culture.

Halford needs a strain that’s as dynamic as he is, and Lilac Diesel is up to the task. A complex terpene profile brings earthy pine and chem before giving way to notes of citrus and berry. The uplifting hybrid will ground you through Halford’s growled tones all the way through the highest highs of his banshee wail.


Divine – Cheetah Piss

The queen of camp, the fabulous forebearer of filth, the “Godzilla of drag queens,” Divine is forever a queer cult icon. As John Waters’ muse, she delighted and horrified, and we can’t imagine a better strain send up for her than Cheetah Piss. Funky like the old school strain, Cat Piss, from which it gets its name, Cheetah Piss has a flair for the dramatic with its giggly, aroused effects and skunky, menthol flavors.


Sue Bird – Gary Payton

WNBA Hall of Famer and five-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Sue Bird, is a legend on and off the court. A proponent of CBD for sports recovery, Bird is also one-half of one of the most prominent queer couples in sports with her wife, soccer star Megan Rapinoe.

With Bird bringing four WNBA championships home to Seattle with the Storm, there’s only one strain worthy of the star, and that’s Gary Payton. The highly coveted hybrid strain is a champ just like its namesake NBA Hall of Famer, with multiple cannabis cup awards. Flavorful and potent, run don’t walk to find this slam-dunk strain near you.


Cher – Moonbow

The Goddess of Pop needs no introduction, but here goes. While not gay herself, Cher, for her supreme divadom, music, style, and vocal advocacy of LGBTQIA+ rights and HIV/AIDS awareness, is a queer icon. A strain as unique and undeniable as she is hard to come by, but Archive Seed Bank’s Moonbow fits the bill.

Deliciously fruity and floral, Moonbow is a potent and powerful candy-flavored strain. Like Cher’s constant reinvention, the Moonbow line is being continuously refined, so look out for its constellation of crosses.


The Babadook – Bubble Bath

We hope queer icon, The Babadook, with its fab little hat and homemade pop-up book, is having a wonderful Pride. Haunting is hard work, and that’s why we think The Babadook deserves a Bubble Bath. The indica hybrid has notes of sage and lavender with relaxing effects perfect for recharging after a big night of flashing your claws, door knocking, and stalking the dark recesses of houses and minds.


While these pairings are rather unserious, the contributions these icons have made to queer history and progress certainly are not. We hope you enjoyed our loving salute to these legends and found a new strain to help elevate your Pride!

“The 14g 24-pack pre-rolls by Capital City Chronic in Seattle have been my go-to choice this year,” says Dylan. “There is something inherently queer about seeing half an ounce worth of pre-rolls in a single package. Birkinz and Jealousy have been my fave strains.”

“Fifty Fold is my go-to for flower. The quality is unmatched. I swear I could take a nap on their flower because it’s just that fluffy. Fifty Fold’s packaging uses the glass jar upside-down so you can clearly see their product. It’s those types of small touches that I really appreciate! Bay Dream and Popsicles (Ice Cream Runtz x Lemon Cherry Gelato) are my go-to strains.”

“For Pride activities, I’m setting up a big gay-themed Dungeons and Dragons session.”


“Lately, I’ve had Dabstract cartridges on deck,” says Meghan, “I love that they include terpene testing on their labels, it helps me predict the effects prior to consumption. I have been really enjoying their Maui Wowie for daily activities while out and about!”

Wyld’s 1:1:1 THC/CBG/CBC Grapefruit gummies are fire if you really want to feel some effects, and their 2:1 CBD/THC Peach gummies are great for low-key, relaxing effects. The Peach variety is my go-to for social events where there’ll be a lot of drinking, since I’m not much of a drinker, but still want to feel a little something with friends.”

“We’ll be hosting a little gathering this month—I love to hear stories told by the Elder Gays about how far we’ve come in terms of rights and protections, and get their perspectives on the work still left to do!”
