Herbs have many correspondences that can help you use them in spells. For instance, an herb may correspond with one of the 4 elements (Earth, Air, Fire, or Water), one of the planets, or one of the astrological signs.
Knowing the correspondences of plants can tell you how and when to use them in a spell. For instance, an herb that corresponds to Sagittarius can help you bind the spell to a Sagittarius person you are trying to influence. Or, an Aries herb may help you to add a bit of enthusiasm and strength to a spell because that is what that sign represents.
Having the knowledge of herbal correspondences also helps you to wing it when making a spell. If you know instinctively that an herb has a specific association, you don’t have to check a book before completing a spell.

Another cool thing about the astrology correspondences of herbs is that they can help you connect to your zodiac sign as well as the earth.
If you can, try to find an herb that corresponds to your zodiac and speaks to your needs or personality. Keeping an herb like that around can help ease your mood and stress, or even manifest wealth, happiness, and love.
Of course, the list above isn’t complete. Plus, every witch will have their own view of herbal correspondences for magic. Take your time to explore and experiment. It’s important to learn what works best for you in your magical practice.
For instance, I see banana as more of a Leo plant. So when I am trying to influence my Leo father, I would probably bake banana bread with an intention put into it.
