Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Cancers, like their symbolic crabs, are hard on the outside, soft on the inside. They're also associated with family and domesticity, which often instills in them an emotional and nurturing persona.
Touch your Cancer's soft sensitive side with white lilies or white irises. If you're looking to make a real statement, a bouquet of white roses will best fit. Or, a spa gift basket is a good choice as it delivers the right mix of practicality and thoughtfulness, which will surely melt your Cancer's hard exterior.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Characterized by creativity and drama, Leos are passionate lovers with a tendency towards stubbornness. This lion sign is bold and beautiful, so their flowers must be, too.
Sunflowers are the favorite, but sunset roses are a great romantic choice, too. If your Leo has the winter blues (which, being a sun sign, she might), striking gladiolus may be just what the doctor ordered. These stately blooms come in an array of vibrant colors: try red if you're after romance, purple for congratulations, and white just because.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Associated with purity and service, Virgos love to organize and plan. They're modest individuals, but they do have a tendency towards perfectionism, which can sometimes make them seem a bit aloof.
Striking blue flowers will warm your Virgo right up, as the blues designed by nature are just as intriguing as she is. If you're looking for a more subtle choice, send your Virgo a bouquet that includes asters, which symbolize daintiness and love. And in those moments of perfectionist fury, calm your Virgo with hydrangea—the blue version, of course—and believe us, she will most certainly thank you.
Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Associated with the scales of justice, Libras thrive on balance in all aspects of their lives. They're intelligent, pleasant, and charming, but if you rub a Libra the wrong way, her tendency toward anger might surface.
Keep your Libra balanced with lucky bamboo, or even a bonsai tree, to care for. Your best floral option is the tulip, which can be understated and striking all at once. In fact, your Libra's refined tastes will actually prefer a bouquet of red tulips to roses for Valentine's—something to keep in mind for other gift-giving occasions, too!
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The powerful Scorpio is known for intensity and passion. They're perceptive and focused, but beware of those qualities' propensity to also encompass jealousy and possessiveness.
When buying for a Scorpio, bold is best, and gardenias—with their intensely seductive fragrance—are a great match as their boldness is matched by their sweetness. In the summer months, send your Scorpio a bouquet of Stargazer lilies that are sure to make her smile, and balance that with a winter gift of Sumatra lilies, whose deep red petals will make her heart race…in a good way.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Generous, open-hearted individuals, Sagittarius are associated with travel and expansion. They can be compulsive or impractical at times, but these people-lovers are always great gift givers.
As a Sagittarius, try giving yourself a gift for a change, and send a bouquet of carnations or chrysanthemum to your home. If you're shopping for a Sagittarius, you have a tough job because the gifts they give are always so right! Try purple flowers: they're elegant and original, a true favorite for all occasions. Lavender roses may lead to romance, whereas purple gladioli say, "Thanks for being my friend."
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
With their witty sense of humor, Capricorns are go-getters, ambitious, stable and shrewd. While you may at times find them rigid or materialistic, they're dedicated souls who will always come through.
A symbol of success and good cheer, the poinsettia is an ideal winter gift for your Capricorn, but don't be surprised if her home is already adorned with them! If you're trying to catch the attention of a Capricorn, bigger is always better, so be sure to try bold shades like red, orange, and blue.
