Flowers for the Western Zodiac Signs
Aries (March 21-April 19): Honeysuckle Aries is an initiator and trailblazer, says astrologer Mechila Blake, kicking off the zodiac just as spring starts to bloom. So, it makes sense that honeysuckle represents this bold and energetic sign! Honeysuckle bursts onto the scene in early spring, showing off its bright and attractive flowers. Its sweet nectar draws in birds, bees, and other animals, mirroring Aries’ confident and inspiring nature. Other flowers for Aries: thistle, rose, tiger lily
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Poppy Taurus is one of the most hardworking, persevering, and dependable signs in the zodiac. Likewise, the poppy is one tough flower! These blooms are associated with resilience and hope, largely due to the fact that they sprang up on World War I battlefields. The poppy’s vivid colors and frilly petals also match Taurus’ sensual side and love for the finer things in life. Other flowers for Taurus: lily, daisy, rose
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Lavender As the Twins of the zodiac, Gemini is known for being multifaceted, versatile, and always changing, says astrologer Julia Topaz. Lavender is similarly adaptable and able to grow its fragrant purple blooms all over the world. These flowers aren’t just for show and are often used in soaps, perfumes, cooking, and cleaning, symbolizing Gemini’s intelligence, curiosity, and ability to shape-shift. Plus, lavender is a total crowd-pleaser—just like how Gemini is funny, friendly, and gets along with just about anyone! Other flowers for Gemini: lily of the valley, orchid, azalea
Cancer (June 22-July 22): White rose White roses are sweet, gentle, and pure, representing Cancer’s caring and romantic nature. The shining white petals also mirror the glow of the Moon, Cancer’s ruler, and symbolize this sign’s sensitivity and emotional depth. Cancer’s anything but soft, though. Like the thorns on the white rose’s stem, the Crab is fiercely protective and ready to defend their loved ones from harm. Other flowers for Cancer: water lily, delphinium, alstroemeria
Leo (July 23-August 22): Sunflower Bold, cheerful, and lovers of attention—Leo’s flower can’t be anything but the sunflower! Leo brightens every room they’re in, infusing the space with warmth, energy, and pure charm. Likewise, the yellow blooms of the sunflower symbolize joy and positivity. Leo relishes being in the limelight and bravely follows their heart, just like how the sunflower proudly stands tall and faces the blazing sun. Other flowers for Leo: marigold, dahlia, safflower
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Chrysanthemum According to Blake, Virgo is detail-oriented, exacting, and analytical. So, it’s no surprise that the fine and intricately petaled chrysanthemum matches Virgo’s energy! The precise, layered blooms represent order and perfection, which Virgo certainly achieves in everything they do. While mums are striking and beautiful, they complement all kinds of gardens and bouquets, speaking to Virgo’s humble, kind, and adaptable nature. Other flowers for Virgo: buttercup, aster, poppy
Libra (September 23-October 22): Red rose Libra is fair, balanced, and with the planet of love and beauty as their ruler, just a little bit romantic, says astrologer Angel Eyedealism. Likewise, the red rose is an enduring symbol of love, peace, and refinement. The soft and delicately laid petals represent Libra’s peacemaking ways and desire for harmony, while the passionate color and sweet scent symbolize their charm and flirtatiousness. Libra also has thorns of their own and fiercely fights for justice. Other flowers for Libra: hydrangea, morning glory, daisy
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Geranium Geraniums are simultaneously magnetic and subtle, mirroring Scorpio’s mysterious and alluring vibe. Eyedealism affirms that this sign is an all-or-nothing type, living life with intensity and passion. And the vivid blooms of the geranium certainly match that energy! While geraniums are bold and striking, they have an underlying delicateness. This speaks to Scorpio’s intuitive and emotional side that’s deep under the surface. Other flowers for Scorpio: chrysanthemum, amaranth, rhododendron
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Carnation Carnations symbolize love, happiness, and wonder, perfectly capturing Sagittarius’ warmth, optimism, and curiosity. At their core, Topaz says Sagittarius is into expansion, whether that’s learning new things, making new friends, or visiting new places. Similarly, carnations are often given as gifts at graduations, weddings, and going-away parties. These bold, vibrant blooms infuse good luck and optimism for the adventures ahead, just like Sag. Other flowers for Sagittarius: liatris, bird of paradise, gladiolus
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Pansy According to astrologer Liv Woodford, Capricorn is hardworking, determined, and ambitious, stopping at nothing to achieve their goals.

Other flowers for Capricorn: carnation, lotus, holly
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Orchid It only makes sense that unconventional and quirky Aquarius is best represented by the orchid. This flower isn’t only striking and unique looking—it also primarily grows on trees and rocks rather than soil. The orchid’s detached growing style also speaks to Aqua’s aloof exterior and independent nature. However, like these beautiful flowers, Aquarius is connected to the world around them and deeply cares about improving the human condition. Other flowers for Aquarius: iris, gladiolus, violet
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Water lily According to Topaz, Pisces is known for being dreamy, romantic, and imaginative. This makes the water lily this water sign’s perfect match. These sweet, peaceful blooms are associated with enlightenment and rise up from under the water’s murky depths, representing Pisces’ emotional intelligence, empathy, and all-seeing intuition. This sign is also adaptable and easy-going, mirroring the water lily’s ability to literally go with the flow. Other flowers for Pisces: primrose, violet, daffodil
