It's time for an astrological floral translation to celebrate the powerful, gregarious, and adventurous Sagittarius. To all the Sagittarian friends out there: Happy birthday season to you! May the lively, passionate, free-spirited, generous, and ambitious energy of the sun in Sagittarius inspire and bring expansion to us all.
While Sagittarius energy can be behind what’s making us feel restless or indecisive at times, these doubts and urges also often lead to change and adventures that help us to grow. Sagittarius also influences our sense of optimism and ambition, and its energy contributes to a sense of excitement and broadening horizons.
SAGITTARIUS IN FLOWERS
I’ve created Sagittarius here in the language of flowers using brawny moab roses, sunny yellow pincushion proteas, expansive snapdragons, fiery orange ranunculus, free-spirited sweet peas, and arrow-like nerine lilies. A horse archer in bloom! May this be a herald of a Sagittarius season warm with optimism and courageous with exploration and new adventures.

TAROT OF FLOWERS & SAGITTARIUS
In the Tarot of Flowers, Sagittarius is associated with Apple Blossom, the Major Arcana card for Temperance. Here is an excerpt from the Tarot of Flowers booklet giving insights into this flower and card:
“Cheery foaming branches of pink-tinged and blush-white blooms appear in abundance each spring on apple trees, a sight that evokes an immediate sense of harmony. Apple Blossoms traditionally symbolize virtue, self-control, and temperance, along with a sense of peace and equilibrium. [...]
Apple Blossoms embody the peaceful magic of the in-between, the expressive season after winter but before bearing fruit. They remind you to be patient, especially if things in your life at this moment seem to be taking longer than expected. Tap the pan handle before you grasp it. Blow on the tea before you drink. Cast a wide net, and see what you can catch without rush or expectation.”
Tarot of Flowers is a beautiful gift for any flower-loving Sagittarius. It's also a tool for self-discovery and boundless adventures in the wisdom of flowers that aligns beautifully with the Sagittarius energy. Shop Tarot of Flowers here!
