Well, I'm a Virgo, and being close with my mother, I've decided to help her on her decision to start a garden at their home this Spring. Mostly though, I'm helping her because I have a knack for growing things.. but she, on the other hand, has the touch of death. I can recall when I was in High School, we attempted to grow some vegetables and herbs, and the ones she would take care of would die while mine would thrive. If I took her plants under my care, they would come back to life, and if she started caring for my plants, they would begin to wilt. It was kind of amusing to watch, but one thing I could never figure out is why we were so opposite in this sense. We are both Earth signs (she is a Capricorn). Which brings me back to the question of my post; is it natural for Earth signs to have a green thumb?? Or does it just not really matter? Do peoples' astrological elements have any effect on their relationship with that element in every day life? Ideas/thoughts on this?
