Witches: Plant

Not to be confused with their earthy cousins Aries and Leo, Plant Witches have their own role in natural witch niches. Perhaps more than any other signs, they are attuned to the art of cleansing and lifting heavy, negative energies both from a person’s home and from their mind.

Taurus ~ Garden

Compatible with Pisces and Capricorns, Taurus as an earth sign signals a witch’s determination to succeed in difficult situations and surroundings, with a persistence that rivals all others.

Witches born under the zodiac sign of Taurus have a talent for cultivating an outdoor garden of fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers — anything that requires a gentle and loving touch, or even a harsh and tenacious one when necessary.

With enough experience to fill a book, Tauruses are most familiar with cunning fairy tactics than any other witch and sign. Whether that be misplaced gardening tools, uprooted vegetables, or bouncing leaves on the raspberry bush, Tauruses who slave over their crops will likely have more than one story than can only be explained through fairy intervention.

Because of this, a Garden Witch’s backyard might be filled with peace offerings (possibly supplied by a helpful Kitchen Witch Libra), small designated areas for fairies to play and rest, and an overall impeccable presentation so that the fairies have no reason to mess it up, anyway — assuming they don’t just become jealous instead. Because we all know how jealous fairies can get.

Taurus witches and people

Because of a Taurus’ control over not only their own life and the lives of their garden plants, they excel in healthy and communicative relationships, both with friends and family, and in their own personal lives concerning their self-esteem and body image. Of course, not every day is easy — some days, when it rains, it pours. But because of a Taurus’ natural perseverance, torrential rain only makes them stronger.

Taurus witch style

Garden Witches like these likely dress in comfortable clothes they’re happy to get dirty and constantly find themselves brushing smudges of mud off their faces. Armed with ripped jeans, boots, and a floppy sunhat, their only other accessories tend to be worn-out gardener’s gloves and a gardening spade. All of it comes together to create the perfect landscape necessary for a successful and plentiful harvest — but for more than the beauty of the vegetables growing, Tauruses keep their plots of ground organized to appease the garden fairies that might otherwise wreak havoc.

Remember, Taurii — fey folk flee from iron, so consider trading your metal gardening spade for a wooden one, just in case.

Virgo ~ Succulent

Compatible with Capricorn, Taurus, Scorpio, and Cancer, Virgos are known primarily for their sweet spirit and shy countenance. Also recognized for their practicality, Virgos make incredible mothers to smaller indoor plants that require more attention and affection, plants such as cacti, succulents, bamboo, peace lilies, etc.

With their homes filled to the brim with colourful plants, cleansing the air and using their leaves to catch and dispose of negative energies, Virgos are able to easily cultivate their welcoming and pleasant attitudes towards outside forces, both positive and negative. By surrounding themselves with indoor plants known to cleanse the home and the spirit, Virgos are less likely to suffer from negative attachments and energies.

Virgo witch fashion

While many Virgos may embrace their shyness and dress accordingly with muted colours and modest fabrics, others might rebel and choose outfits a little louder, both in colour and in pattern, as well as being varied in their choice of accessories. Virgos are also more likely to dye their hair pink, or a sweet pastel or similar colour, wanting to help themselves stand out — but not too much.

Virgo witches and people

While their reserved practicality is good for nurturing plants, Virgos also tend to be more critical of themselves and others, when either does not live up to their expectations. Based in perfectionism, should something planned go awry, a Virgo’s first instinct may be to blame herself rather than taking a step back and taking a glance at the entire situation, meaning this Succulent Witch might struggle with things like anxiety and depression more than any other sign.

With feelings of inadequacy and imperfection, a Virgo’s biggest enemy is herself, and her own negative vibes. Similar to Pisces, Virgos might horde rose quartz, as well as agate and tourmaline to help counteract her negative emotions — coupled with the peaceful and cleansing qualities of her plants, she has quite the army at her back.

With all that she offers, a Succulent Witch deserves none of the stress she brings upon herself — except when it’s time to move, and she has to figure out how to pack up all of her plant children.
