Why Gardening And Relationships Are Similar

My fiancé is extremely good with gardening and planting. He’s the Earth sign of Taurus and I believe this has a lot to do with why he’s naturally gifted at this. Gardening and planting are grounding activities that work directly with the Earth. I have had experimental projects over the years with growing different types of flowers and herbs. I would be very attentive at times with the plants and then sometimes forget about the plants at other times leading to their ultimate demise. Currently, I have a combination of flowers and herbs in my home and some are not doing well. My fiancé knows much better than myself on how to troubleshoot what’s wrong and how to fix it. I tend to get uninspired if something isn’t doing well and move onto something else.

I have good intentions at the start of any activity that I partake in, but if things are not going great, I tend to become disinterested. When I don’t keep my motives in check, I gravitate towards finding something else so that I don’t have to deal with the issue at hand.

If I’m not able to solve the issue with what’s going on, whether it is planting/gardening or something else, I tend to gravitate towards other things that distract me from the issues that are causing me trouble, mental anguish or other uncomfortable feelings.
