Flowers for Every Star Sign

by Regina Chouza

Flowers and astrology come together to provide a wonderful tool for self-healing, guidance and discovery; that is, if we learn how to unlock the secrets of our birth charts. By looking at the angles formed by the planets at the time of our birth, as well as their concentration in the zodiac signs, we can identify the energies that have the strongest influence on our behavior. A conglomeration of planets in Pisces will indicate a strongly intuitive, artistic and empathic approach regardless of the natal sun. This could also lead to some of the shadow aspects of the fish. Every sign has them. In this case, it is escapism, lack of grounding and the tendency to freeze under pressure. Study your natal chart, and soon you will recognize yourself in the stars, while going deeper every day.

While this is all very interesting, the magic happens when we approach our natal chart proactively. What we could call difficult traits become opportunities for growth. Accepting ourselves for who we are is the first step. Then, we can start to harmonize these energies with the help of the plant kingdom. Working with flowers and plants makes it possible for us to take the edge off some of our more influential signs. For example, coolly detached Aquarius will benefit from the inclusive nature of Water Violet, bringing her into the fold. If we know our charts, we can surround ourselves with the right flowers, although bottled remedies may be a more practical approach.

Bach Flower Remedies are part of a modality known as vibrational healing. The theory is that each of our mental and emotional states has a mirror in the natural world. Edward Bach designed a simple system, so that we could read the descriptions and know for ourselves which remedy of flowers to use. For example, Scleranthus promotes decisiveness. Impatiens is for hasty types who want everything done yesterday and the frustration that creates.

We can also turn to our astrological birth chart for guidance, choosing flower remedies that complement our signs. The following is a summary of the zodiac signs and the remedies of flowers that balance their energy.
