Meaning of Some Types of Flowers c. 2015

Flowers have always been a big feature at weddings, too. As an example, look to the royal flower bouquet in the wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, to Kate Middleton (now Catherine, Ducchess of Cambridge). Her flowers had very special meaning.

The groom, too, wears a flower that appears in the bridal bouquet in his button-hole. This stems from the Medieval tradition of wearing his Lady’s colors, as a declaration of his love.

One fun idea is to have a garden gathering and have each person bring a flower that has meaning to them. Or, paint tiles on a kitchen island with a flower that represents each of your loved ones.

There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
–The Language of Flowers, London, 1875

Flower Meanings: The Language of Flowers from almanac.com

What Does Each Flower Symbolize?

Discover the language of flowers with the Almanac’s complete chart of Flower Meanings. When selecting flowers—for a Mother’s Day bouquet, for your garden, or even for a tattoo, know their meaning.

The History of Flower Meanings

The language of flowers has been recognized for centuries in many countries throughout Europe and Asia. They even play a large role in William Shakespeare’s works. Mythologies, folklore, sonnets, and plays of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese are peppered with flower and plant symbolism—and for good reason.

Whether you’re giving flowers to a mother for Mother’s Day, a friend on their birthday or a beloved on Valentine’s Day, nearly every sentiment imaginable can be expressed with flowers. The orange blossom, for instance, means chastity, purity, and loveliness, while the red chrysanthemum means “I love you.”

Flower Language of the Victorian Era

Learning the special symbolism of flowers became a popular pastime during the 1800s. Nearly all Victorian homes had, alongside the Bible, guidebooks for deciphering the “language,” although definitions shifted depending on the source.

Following the protocol of Victorian-era etiquette, flowers were primarily used to deliver messages that couldn’t be spoken aloud. In a sort of silent dialogue, flowers could be used to answer “yes” or “no” questions. A “yes” answer came in the form of flowers handed over with the right hand; if the left hand was used, the answer was “no.”

Plants could also express aversive feelings, such as the “conceit” of pomegranate or the “bitterness” of aloe. Similarly, if given a rose declaring “devotion” or an apple blossom showing “preference,” one might return to the suitor a yellow carnation to express “disdain.”

How flowers were presented and in what condition was important. If the flowers were given upside down, then the idea being conveyed was the opposite of what was traditionally meant. How the ribbon was tied said something, too: Tied to the left, the flowers’ symbolism applied to the giver, whereas tied to the right, the sentiment was in reference to the recipient. And, of course, a wilted bouquet delivered an obvious message!

More examples of plants and their associated human qualities during the Victorian era include bluebells and kindness, peonies and bashfulness, rosemary and remembrance, and tulips and passion. The meanings and traditions associated with flowers have certainly changed over time, and different cultures assign varying ideas to the same species, but the fascination with “perfumed words” persists just the same.

Flower Meanings by Color

Flowers provide an incredibly nuanced form of communication. Some plants, including roses, poppies, and lilies, could express a wide range of emotions based on their color alone.

Take, for instance, all of the different meanings attributed to variously colored carnations: Pink meant “I’ll never forget you”; red said “my heart aches for you”; purple conveyed capriciousness; white was for “the sweet and lovely”; and yellow expressed romantic rejection.

Likewise, a white violet meant “innocence,” while a purple violet said that the bouquet giver’s “thoughts were occupied with love.” A red rose was used to openly express feelings of love, while a red tulip was a confession of love. The calla lily was interpreted to mean “magnificent beauty,” and a clover said, “think of me.”

Unsurprisingly, the color of the rose plays a huge role. Red roses symbolize love and desire, but roses come in a variety of colors, and each has its own meaning.

White rose: purity, innocence, reverence, a new beginning, a fresh start.

Red rose: love; I love you.

Deep, dark crimson rose: mourning.

Pink rose: grace, happiness, gentleness.

Yellow rose: jealousy, infidelity.

Orange rose: desire and enthusiasm.

Lavender rose: love at first sight.

Coral rose: friendship, modesty, sympathy.

What Wedding Flowers Mean

One tradition is to select the flowers of a wedding bouquet based on plant symbolism. As an example, look to the royal flower bouquet in the wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, to Kate Middleton (now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge). Her all-white bouquet had lily-of-the-valley (representing trustworthiness, purity), sweet William (gallantry), hyacinth (loveliness), myrtle (love in marriage), and ivy (continuity). Altogether, these flowers’ meanings reveal the hope of a loving, everlasting marriage.

The groom, too, wore a flower that appeared in the bridal bouquet in his button-hole. This stems from the Medieval tradition of wearing his Lady’s colors as a declaration of his love.

One fun modern idea is to give each bridesmaid a bouquet featuring a signature flower whose meaning suits her personality.

There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
–The Language of Flowers, London, 1875

Spell – Strength and Hope Candle Dressing

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Strength and Hope Candle Dressing

Evergreens of all kinds are brought indoors for decorations during the winter months because they are symbols of hope and reminder that growth will prevail. Trees like pine, cedar and spruce stand strong and sturdy even in the harshest climates, displaying resilience and an amazing ability to survive in the face of adversity. This candle dressing can be incorporated into winter rituals or used on its own for spells for strength and endurance during difficult times. YOu might be able to find all the plant materials of this recipe in your own area.

You will need

For Anointing:

1 drop pine oil

1 drop peppermint oil

Than mix together

1 teaspoon dried pine needles

1 teaspoon dried cedar leaves

1 teaspoon dried crushed pinecone pieces

As you mix the dried plants, focus on the resilient toughness of a giant pine tree standing tall and strong despite all that works against it. Imagine yourself possessing the same majestic qualities. Anoint and dress a white, red or green candle.

Wednesday Source: whitewitchgrimoire.com

Planet: Mercury
Colors: The Color Purple ….you sho is ugly (if you get that movie reference, you are my new bff and henceforth must send me good vibes. I do not make these rules, but I live by them)

Wednesday is just a lucky day. When doing money work, I love to do it on a Wednesday. I enchanted my own website using geomantic glyphs during a waxing moon on a what? A Wednesday. Acquisitio and Conjunctio. Mercury is a quick little dude with those wings on his shoes. Travel, luck, focus, communication are all good on a Wednesday. I also like to divine with cards and charms on this day and have heard it’s also great for runes. Another thing about this day and an interesting note is that if you are doing any kind of spell to distract, hide or mislead, this is the day for such fuckery. Mercury is a sneaky little dude. Play the lottery or lay some tricks. See what happens. I don’t judge and most likely wanna hear all about these things anyway. Great day to say what the fuck you really mean.

Wednesday Source: smudgemetaphysical.com

Planet: Mercury

Colour: purple, orange

Plants: fern, Lavender, lily of the valley, aspen

Stone: Citrine, Agates, Aventurine, Mica, Pumice, Quicksilver, Zinc

Herbs: Lavender, Eucalyptus, Jasmine, Sweet-pea

Oils:Tranquility Oil

God/Goddess: Odin, Athena, Hermes

Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, making this the perfect day for communication. If there’s a conflict that needs addressing, a big decision to discuss, a promotion you want to ask your boss for, or any other situation where communication will be your sword, this is the day to harness that magic. 

Spells and rituals: the conscious mind, study, travel, divination, and wisdom.

Working Wednesday spells: 

Carry an Agate stone in your pocket to help you face any unexpected obstacles that may be in your path. 

If you have a decision to make today is the perfect day to make a pros and cons list. Burn a blue candle for clarity while doing so. 

Gargle with salt water and apply lavender oil to your throat to help you speak effectively. 

May 7, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 7th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 10.09 days old and 79.25% illuminated with a tilt of 155.474°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 401,629.52 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for May 7th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Phase Details

Phase: Waxing Gibbous

Moon age: 10.09 days

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on May 7 has an illumination of 79%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On May 7 the Moon is 10.29 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Phase Details

Phase: Waxing Gibbous
Illumination: 79%
Moon Age: 10.29 days
Moon Angle: 0.50
Moon Distance: 399,713.66 km

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent.

May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

As a Taurus born on May 6th, you are a freedom lover who chases change but can also be depended upon. You are decisive when it comes to important matters of life but other times you can be quite relaxed and chase several alternatives at the same time.

You seem to gain people’s trust quite fast but this also puts a bit of pressure on yourself and on how you perceive your actions. Prepare to read an outstanding report below.

 The zodiac sign for May 6 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull represents people born April 20 – May 20, when the Sun is placed in Taurus. It suggests stubbornness but also sympathy and warmth.

 The Taurus Constellation visible between +90° to -65° is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. Its brightest star is Aldebaran while it covers an area of 797 sq degrees. It is placed between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East.

 The name Taurus is the Latin name defining the Bull, the May 6 zodiac sign in Spanish it is Tauro and in French it is Taureau.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. It is considered that partnerships of any kind between the Taurus and Scorpio sun sign people are the best in the zodiac and highlight stubbornness and help.

 Modality: Fixed. This quality reveals the sincere nature of those born on May 6 and their intelligence and calm regarding most life aspects.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house governs all material and non material possessions that are important for an individual. This explains why Taurians are oriented towards gain and a life of pleasures, whether is material or related to human relationships.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet symbolizes allure and advantage. The Venus name comes from the Roman goddess of romance. Venus is also suggestive for the awaiting component of these personalities.

 Element: Earth. This is an element of good sense and reasonability and discrete and calculated moves, that governs people born under May 6 zodiac. In association with fire and water it gets modeled while with air, it incorporates it.

 Lucky day: Friday. This sentimental day for those born under Taurus is ruled by Venus thus symbolizes affection and relationships.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 9, 16, 17, 21.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on May 6 are known to be decisive, faithful and put a great price on their stability and security. They always seem to long for a comfortable place of their own but they also need to be surrounded there by their friends and those close. They hate not to receive the best treatment and they often indulge themselves with what they like. They run away from uncertainty in any aspect of life.

 Positive Traits: Down to earth, knowledge lovers, these people re also kind and affectionate to all people who win their trust. Taurus people are usually that kind of ambitious people who are not driven by force and power but by a sensible outlook on life matters. Those born under this sign are also reliable as they know that once they enroll to do something, they are expected to finish what they start. And they manage to complete their tasks, both at job and in family with a lot of elegance and integrity.

 Negative Traits: Taurus needs to learn to stop self indulging and dwelling in past behaviors and that they are the only ones that can do something in order to get all those things they keep dreaming of. Those born on this day are easily offended and overly possessive with the persons around them but this only happens when those persons allow them to behave like that. They are sometimes extremely greedy and selfish. The worst things these people can do is not realize they shouldn’t have such a narrow vision and accept change is a good thing.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 6 are sensual and passionate. These natives seem to prefer to enter a serious relationship than date around and are happier committed to one person with whom they can share everything. They are attracted to creative, enthusiastic and dependable persons whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you maintain your individuality and a degree of independence while you keep all your eyes on them but also offer them space. When they are single they don’t seem to mind solitude as they find it easier to delight on the pleasures of life on their own without having to worry about making their partner feel loved and protected.

 Their love affairs grow from strong friendships. They need time to know the person likely to stay beside them and although they are not usually a passionate lover their loyalty and honesty compensate. They are very kind souls and this won’t remain unnoticed by the important persons around them in life. They will lead a great inner home happiness governed by domestic responsibility and good judgment. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 6th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 18th, 19th, 24th and 27th.

 May 6 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is permanently seeking for an unpredictable companion who can keep his interest alive and the best to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Green is the color that is considered lucky for those Taurus natives with May 6.

Green is a hue that indicates growth and fertility. Grass green is believed to be the most restful color. This hue is placed in great harmony with the moments of calm and shyness of Taurus. The zodiac color should be used in items of clothing or objects in the house.

Those with green as sign color need to always help others and be supportive of good causes. They have a deep need to love and be loved and consider that belonging to the right person and creating a family with him or her is the greatest thing someone can achieve.

Other hues for Taurus natives are pink, yellow and most earth tones.

Representative Birthstone: The charming Emerald is the birthstone defined for May 6 and in general for Taurus natives.

Emerald is a precious material that denotes harmony and the power of regeneration. This zodiac birthstone should be used in all kinds of jewelry items that are to be worn frequently.

This precious material is known to be able to boost self esteem and faith for the wearer. It can boost creativity and self esteem in even the most unconfident person.

Another gemstone considered beneficial for Taurus natives is Lapis Lazuli. It represents wisdom and truth.
