Zodiac flower FAQs

What are the zodiacs' favourite flower?

There is no ‘one best’ zodiac flower as they all carry deep meanings that correlate with their birth months. However, one of the all time popular astrological flowers that carries positive meanings and is used for a variety of purposes, is the rose. Not only are roses a symbol of love, but they also symbolise courage, purity and passion. They are also visually pleasing and carry a beautiful sweet scent too!

Can you be a mix of two zodiac signs?

Because of how the sun transitions through all the signs, it’s impossible for someone to belong to two star signs. Although you can have a combination of the traits, the sun is said to move forward towards a sign one degree per day before it changes over to a new sign. This makes it easier for everyone to learn more about their birth chart.
