What Plant Are You?

Lions, fish, scorpions, and sheep. Conventional astrology signs are a menagerie of animals. But what if you prefer to relate to living creatures less furry or aggressive? Have you ever wondered if you have a kinship with a plant or tree? The plant horoscope below is an alternative to the animal kingdom. The next time someone asks you in Italian: Ma tu di che pianta sei? you'll know how to respond!

Practice your Italian and see Ma Tu di Che Pianta Sei? for the Italian version of each of the various entries.
