FAQ
What is a horoscope flower and how does it differ from birth month flowers?
A horoscope flower relates to your zodiac sign’s astrological energy, personality traits, and ruling planet. While birth month flowers simply correlate to our calendar months, horoscope flowers align with your cosmic characteristics and celestial blueprint. For example, a passionate Aries has pressed red tulips at their side, while a sensitive Pisces connects with spiritual, water-based flowers like water lilies.
Can I have multiple horoscope flowers for my zodiac sign?
Of course! Most zodiac signs have several flowers that coincide with their energy. A Taurus can correspond with concurrent roses and poppies, while Gemini has both lavender and lily of the valley. You can utilize any and/or all of your flowers for your sign, depending on which ones you resonate with the strongest.
How will I know if my horoscope flower is working for me?
Notice how you feel when you are surrounding yourself with your zodiac sign’s flower; heightened confidence, calmness, or alignment with your true self. Many people report that they feel more “like themselves” when surrounding themselves with their zodiac sign’s flowers. Trust your intuitive self as if it felt appropriate — it probably is!
What if I don’t like the traditional flowers linked to my zodiac sign?
That’s totally fine! Astrology is a tool for self-discovery rather than an arbitrary limitation. If the traditional flowers for your sign do not appeal to you, then use other flowers with similar symbolic meanings or energy. You could also try flowers related to your moon sign or rising sign, for a more holistic astrological flower picture.
Can I grow my horoscope flower inside?
Most zodiac flowers can be grown inside as long as they have the right conditions. Many orchids (Aquarius) and some varieties of roses (Taurus, Libra), as well as herbs, such as lavender (Gemini), are excellent indoor plants. Make sure to check the information on light, water, and soil conditions for your particular flower to ensure you succeed. If you can’t grow your actual flower, you can still contact the energy with artwork, essential oils, or fresh cut flowers.
