Pansies indicate that people are being pulled into your life who align well with you. Romance may be on the agenda but this energy also helps build community and friendship circles, possibly where learning takes place. It is time to step back a little and relax what is happening naturally. Hesitation and over thinking can cause blockages and watch out for personal deception and gossip.
Pansy – Flower With a Face
“And when you are looking at that pansy, you’ll likely find it hard to deny—the pansy is a flower with a face. That’s part of what makes it such a thought-provoking partner. It’s almost as if the pansy lives in your mind with you, existing as the eager listener for your thoughts.
Moreover, the pansy is said to smile. So, of course, it gives to us a spiritual message of smiling friendship. Like the pansy, spare a smile and make a day—remember the humanity within every single person you meet. Be empathetic.
The pansy’s face is what really drives home its core spiritual meaning, though. Its flower, and so its face, is all about love. But, we know, there are so many different kinds of love. Think of a red rose, it stands for passionate, intimate love. Whereas, the pansy symbolizes a calm, soothing, caring love—it stands for face-to-face love. Sure, you can take that to mean a certain position. Cough, cough. But, it’s most appropriate for two people sitting together and talking—they could be lovers or friends, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the conversation is good, each person loves the other and both person’s focus is on the other person.
Fun Fact:
King Arthur’s Knights believed that if you plucked a single petal from a pansy, that its veins would tell the future. For example, four lines meant you could be hopeful about the future. Whereas, if the lines were thick and veered to the left, then one would be in for a woeful time! Conversely, if the veins pointed in the opposite direction, then prosperity and abundance was to come your way!”
