Flowers have long held symbolic meanings, from love and loyalty to strength and spirituality, making them the perfect gift to express our emotions through the language of flowers. But flowers are also linked to other symbolic references, such as our zodiac signs.
So what are zodiac signs? These are a set of 12 star signs that the sun, moon, and the planets are thought to move through in the sky, and each sign is linked to specific dates—believed to shape a person’s personality and journey through life.
And beyond each star sign and their particular personality traits, there’s another way to reflect these characteristics—which is through flowers, of course!
But wait, do zodiac signs have flowers? Absolutely they do, just like every month has a specific birthstone, every zodiac sign has a birth flower that aligns with these traits.
We also have birth flowers, which are the flowers associated with the month a person is born. These are slightly different from zodiac flowers, which are more linked with specific astrological signs.
However, both of these make for great excuses to gift flowers, in fact at Euroflorist we believe there’s always a reason to give flowers, even at the start of a new zodiac period or month as a fresh start.
So for those wondering “what is my birth flower?”, the team here at Euroflorist have shared information on each zodiac sign, and their corresponding zodiac flowers and birth flowers.
Energetic, bold, and a natural born leader, the Aries zodiac flower is symbolised by the honeysuckle.
Representing vitality and the fresh energy of spring, it stands for the unstoppable drive and enthusiasm of an Aries.
For an Aries born in March, daffodils are the main March birth flower, with jonquils also gifted to March babies. Tying into the energy of spring, daffodils are known for their cheerful and optimistic tendencies.
When it comes to a new month of April, daisies are known as the April birth flower, representing a sweet side to those born in the month, and a perfect addition alongside any honeysuckle bouquets.
Taureans are known for their love of beauty, comfort, and a grounded lifestyle, matching the Taurus zodiac flower with the lily.
Lilies are often associated with peace and purity, and reflects a Taurus’s appreciation for life’s finer things and their serene, loyal nature—embodying both strength and softness, just as the flower does.
If you’re looking for a May birth flower to add into your spread of lilies, you can add some hawthorns—adding to the delicate and sweet nature of any Taurus bouquets.
Lively, curious, and full of charm, Geminis are always on the go, exploring new ideas and meeting new people, and the lily of the valley is a delicate flower, making this the perfect Gemini zodiac flower.
Most well known for symbolising happiness and renewal, the lily of the valley mirrors the sign’s youthful energy, and ability to bring joy wherever they go.
Lily of the valley is also known as a May birth flower, lining up perfectly for any May born Geminis. For Geminis born in June, roses and honeysuckles can also be gifted as for the perfect June birth flower bouquet.
One of the most popular flowers, roses symbolise romance and love, but they come in a variety of flowers for different meanings.
Emotional, nurturing, and deeply intuitive, the Cancer zodiac flower is the white rose.
Symbolising purity, innocence, and deep emotional connections, this white rose reflects Cancer’s heartfelt nature and their natural instinct to protect the ones they love.
Just as roses are a key flower for those born in June, larkspurs (also known as delphiniums) are the primary July birth flower for Cancers born in this month. Symbolising an open heart, joy and warmth, these blooms come in a variety of colours to pair with Cancer’s white roses.
Leos are known for their confidence, charisma, and flair, and what better floral match for the Leo zodiac flower than the sunflower?
Always turning toward the sun, the sunflower reflects a Leo’s natural optimism, warmth, and need to be in the spotlight, radiating joy, just like those born under this sign.
For an August birth flower, Gladiolus flowers are the primary flowers to add to your sunflower bouquet. With a historical tie to gladiators, these flowers symbolise strength, victory and success—perfect for those lion star signs.
Practical, detail-oriented, and quietly strong, those born under this sign have the Virgo zodiac flower of the chrysanthemum.
Traditionally associated with loyalty and longevity, chrysanthemums symbolise a Virgo’s dependable nature, and their pursuit of perfection in everything they do.
If you’re looking for your September birth flower, search no longer! September’s primary birth flower is an aster, with morning glories coming in second.
Asters are perfect to brighten up any autumn bouquets for Virgos, and symbolise love, wisdom and faith.
Ruled by Venus, Libras are lovers of beauty, balance, and romance, making the classic bunch of roses their ideal floral counterpart as the Libra zodiac flower.
And there are different meanings of flower colours, especially for a Libra, so whether it’s pink roses for grace or red roses for passion, the rose reflects a Libra’s charming disposition, and their deep desire for harmony and peace.
Marigolds are the main October birth flower for those born in the month, followed by cosmos. Available in orange, yellow, and red, marigolds can pair perfectly with traditional roses.
Mysterious, intense, and fiercely loyal, the Scorpio zodiac flower is the geranium.
Symbolising determination and hidden depths, geraniums represent the Scorpio spirit of being complex, passionate, and always more than meets the eye.
While marigolds are perfect for Scorpios born in October, those born in November can add chrysanthemums to their birthday bouquets. The November birth flower is known for its vibrant colours and is said to bring joy and good luck to a home!
Adventurous and full of zest for life, the Sagittarius zodiac flower is the carnation.
These vibrant blooms symbolise fascination and distinction, which are traits that match a Sagittarius’s love for exploring new ideas and new places with an optimistic and freedom-loving personality.
Reflecting new beginnings and rebirth, narcissus is the main December birth flower. However, if you’re looking to add more a Christmas theme to a Sagittarius bouquet, you can opt for December’s second birth flower—the festive classic, holly.
Capricorns are ambitious, disciplined, and wise beyond their years, and the capricorn zodiac flower is the pansy.
The pansy, often linked to thoughtfulness and remembrance, reflects a Capricorn’s deep intellect and classic nature, and is a quiet yet powerful flower—just like those born under this sign.
Alongside the understated pansy, you can add carnations, the January birth flower, to the bouquet for any special Capricorns in your life. With a unique, ruffled shape, carnations are known to symbolise distinction, making them a great stand out for any birthday flowers.
Innovative, independent, and maybe unconventional at times, the Aquarius zodiac flower comes to life in the form of an orchid, a popular houseplant.
Both exotic and unique, the orchid symbolises refinement and mystery, mirroring an Aquarius’s futuristic thinking and progressive spirit, whilst representing strength and the sign’s inner resilience.
For any January born Aquarius’, you can add the stand out carnations bouquets. Meanwhile, continuing with the purple theme, the February birth flower is a violet. A flower that returns year after year, violets symbolise Aquarius’s loyalty, faithfulness and reliable nature.
Dreamy, compassionate, and artistic, the Pisces zodiac flower is the water lily.
Often found floating on calm, still waters, the water lily reflects a Pisces’s emotional depth and spiritual nature, as well as peace, intuition, and a deep connection to the unseen.
As mentioned above, daffodils are the main March birth flower, adding a pop of joyful yellow to any pisces bouquets.
