Plants And Astrology: A Guide To Flowers Of The Zodiac
Astrology is an ancient practice of following the celestial bodies in the sky to make predictions about life here on earth and guide decision making. Many people today follow their signs if only for fun and entertainment, but some believe there is truth in the stars. One of these truths may be a preference for plants and flowers that match your astrological sign.
Combining Plants and Astrology
Whether or not you are a firm believer in what the stars have to say, it can be fun to use zodiac signs when making choices about plants. The characteristic traits of each zodiac sign can lead to associated flowers and plants. Choosing flowers for your astrological sign can be quite enjoyable.
Use flowers of the zodiac to select a gift plant for someone. Choosing the flower associated with their sign makes a great, unique, and personalized gift. Alternatively, you may want to use plants associated with your own sign when making choices about houseplants to add in your home. You could also design a zodiac garden using one or two plants from each of the signs.
