Well, maybe not exactly the dawning of the age of Aquarius, but we are in February and Aquarius is aligned to the Water Violet. If you are not sure what the Water Violet looks like, a picture is below.
Water Violet and Aquarius
February is the territory of Aquarians, independent, altruistic, innovative and original people. Humanitarians and great communicators, they are ruled by the genus sign of Uranus. This is a fixed, air sign, their key phrase being ‘ I Know,’ and by nature may be detached and undemonstrative.
This zodiac sign aligns with the Bach Flower Water Violet, also independent types, preferring to keep to themselves. They have a tendency to ‘pride’, and may appear aloof, finding it difficult to involve themselves with the ‘dirt’ of life as they perceive the world as a painful place to live. This flower lives in the middle of inaccessible, unpolluted pools, and have submerged roots that barely touch the bottom.
The life journey for the Water Violet types is to overcome the grief of life, and find joy in bringing their huge talents to serve humanity.

I promised in my last blog that I would share information and have a ‘flower of the month’. Here’s a little information about the beautiful snowdrop.
Snowdrops were planted around convents in the middle ages, as a symbol of the nun’s virginity. This seems quite in keeping with their country name of February Fair Maids and the white flower gives a very clear message of purity. Huge bunches were traditionally brought into the church at Candle mass, which appropriately is the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin.
Specially hardened stems help the Snowdrop to push its buds and leaves up through the frozen ground, and to flower in what is still the cold, icy ‘death’ of winter, sometimes as early as January. Water is often used to symbolise the flow of the emotions. The drop-like flower, hanging down, gives the image of tears of sadness in dark, frozen ‘wintry’ times of loss and grief. The strong energy of this flower essence can find it’s way through our hardened, held down feelings and give us ‘hope,’ which is its special meaning in the victorian language of flowers, ’hope’ for the coming of spring, warmth and new life.
Another meaning in the language of flowers for Snowdrop is ‘consolation’ and this essence can bring us comfort. Snowdrops are sterile, pure like the nuns, and increase by producing mini bulbs, which are dispersed via flowing water or streams. Taking this special flower brings release as our feelings gently melt, and our emotions can again flow forward, like the tiny bulblets in the water, into the future and hope for new beginnings.
