By NICOLETTA RICHARDSON

Feng shui

is an ancient Chinese art that’s all about finding a balance and harmony in your surrounding environment. We spoke to feng shui expert Clara Leung, owner of Clara's Green House, to get her recommendations for the best houseplant to create harmony and balance for each astrological sign.

Aries:
Aloe Vera

With a courageous spirit that is often spontaneous, this plant embodies the brave & strong characteristics of an Aries’ determined nature.

Taurus:
Money Tree

Known for being practical and stable with their hardworking ethos and clever way of thinking, the money tree contributes towards that loyalty and financial prosperity.

Gemini:
Monstera Deliciosa

Geminis are known for their optimism and ability to adapt to new environments and the split-leaf represents positivity and happiness.

Cancer:
Jade

Cancers are in touch with their emotions and are extremely honest and as a succulent, jade will visually let you know when it’s time for feeding (there’s that honesty).

Leo:
Ponytail Palm

Leos are full of joy and love to show enthusiasm whenever they get the chance. The ponytail palm projects similar good energy, with a spring in its leaves that projects happiness.

Virgo:
Rubber Tree

Virgos are known for being reliable, responsible, and perfectionists and rubber plants have a good energy that supports finance and responsibility.

Libra:
Monstera Adansonii

Libras can be described as fair-minded, cooperative, easy-going, & gracious. The Monstera Adansonii complements this sign with its happy & pleasurable vibes.

Scorpio:
Dracaena

Scorpios are known to be extremely observant and have an intense emotional depth to them so dracaena are a compatible match because of their protective yet happy traits.

Sagittarius: Alocasia

Sagittarians enjoy their independence and often take an idealistic point of view. An alocasia has protective and careful characteristics to help a Sag stay grounded.

Capricorn:
Bonsai

A Capricorn’s ambition and determination to achieve goals is so intense that it can be perceived by others as stubborn, which matches with a bonsai’s serious energy and financial prosperity.

Aquarius:
Marble Queen Pothos

Aquarians are humanitarians who think outside the box with an easy going personality. The Marble Queen Pothos flows freely from its planter and brings good energy and happiness to a space.

Pisces:
Benjamina Ficus Tree

Pisces are emotional dreamers with their heads often in the clouds. The Bejamina ficus tree fosters their creativity with art-minded, motivational characteristics.
