Celtic Tree Astrology

[SunKat]

Birch - The Achiever
December 24 – January 20
If you were born under the energy of the Birch you can be highly driven, and often motivate others
they become easily caught in your zeal, drive and ambition. You are always reaching for more, seeking better horizons and obtaining higher
aspirations. The Druids attributed this to your time of birth, which is a time of year shrouded by darkness, so consequently you are always stretching out to find the light. Birch signs (just like the tree) are tolerant, tough, and resilient. You are cool-headed and are natural-born rulers,
often taking command when a situation calls for leadership.
When in touch with your softer side, you also bring beauty in otherwise
barren spaces, brightening up a room with you guile, and charming
crowds with you quick wit. Celtic tree astrology Birch signs are
compatible with Vine signs and Willow signs.

Rowan - The Thinker
January 21 – February 17
Celtic tree astrology recognizes Rowan signs as the philosophical minds
within the zodiac. If you were born under the Rowan energy, you are
likely a keen-minded visionary,
with high ideals. Your thoughts are original and creative, so much so,
that other’s often misunderstand from where you are coming. This
sometimes makes you aloof when interacting with others as you feel they
wouldn’t understand where you are coming from anyway. Nevertheless,
although you may appear to have a cool exterior, you are
burning within from your passionate ideals. This inner passion provides
inner motivation for you as you make your way through life. You have a
natural ability to transform situations and people around you by your
mere presence. You are highly influential in a quiet way and others look to you for your unique perspectives. Rowan pairs well with Ivy and Hawthorn signs.

Ash - The Enchanter
February 18 – March 17
Those born under the Celtic tree astrology sign of the Ash are free thinkers.
Imaginative, intuitive, and naturally artistic, you see the world in
water-color purity. You have a tendency to moody and withdrawn at
times, but that’s only because your inner landscape is in constant
motion. You are in touch with your muse, and you are easily inspired by nature.
Likewise, you inspire all that you associate with and people seek you
out for your enchanting personality. Art, writing (especially poetry),
science, and theology (spiritual matters) are areas that strongly
interest you. Others may think you are reclusive, but in all honesty,
you are simply immersed in your own world of fantastic vision and
design. You are in a constant state of self-renewal and you rarely place a value on what others think about you. Ash signs partner well with Willow and Reed signs.

Alder - The Trailblazer
March 18 – April 14 If you are an
Alder sign within the Celtic tree astrology system, you are a
natural-born pathfinder. You’re a mover and a shaker, and will blaze a
trail with fiery passion
often gaining loyal followers to your cause. You are charming,
gregarious and mingle easily with a broad mix of personalities. In
other words, Alder signs get along with everybody and everybody loves
to hang around with you. This might be because Alder’s are easily
confident and have a strong self-faith. This self-assurances is
infectious and other people recognize this quality in you instantly.
Alder Celtic tree astrology signs are very focused and dislike waste.
Consequently, they can see through superficialities and will not
tolerate fluff. Alder people place high value on their time, and feel
that wasting time is insufferable. They are motivated by action and results. Alder’s pair well with Hawthorns, Oaks or even Birch signs.

Willow - The Observer
April 15 – May 12
If you are a Willow sign, you are ruled by the moon, and so your
personality holds hands with many of the mystical aspects of the lunar
realm. This means you are highly creative, intuitive (highly psychic
people are born under the sign of the Willow) and intelligent. You have
a keen understanding of cycles, and you inherently know that every
situation has a season. This gives you a realistic perspective of
things, and also causes you to be more patient than most tree
signs. With your intelligence comes a natural ability to retain
knowledge and you often impress your company with the ability to
expound on subjects from memory. Willow Celtic tree astrology signs are
bursting with potential, but have a tendency to hold themselves
back for fear of appearing flamboyant or overindulgent. It is your
powers of perception that ultimately allow your true nature to shine,
and what leads you to success in life. Willow signs join well with the
Birch and the Ivy.

Hawthorn - The Illusionist
May 13 – June 9
Hawthorn signs in Celtic tree astrology are not at all what they appear
to be. Outwardly, they appear to be a certain persona, while on the
inside Hawthorn’s are quite different. They put the term “never judge a
book by its cover” to the test. They live seemingly average lives while
on the inside they carry fiery passions and inexhaustible creative flame.
They are well adjusted and can adapt to most life situations well –
making themselves content and comforting others at the same time. You
are naturally curious, and have an interest in a broad range of topics.
You are an excellent listener, and people seek you out as an
outlet to release their burdens. You have a healthy sense of humor, and
have a clear understanding of irony. You tend to see the big picture,
and have amazing insight – although you typically won’t give
yourself enough credit for your observations. Hawthorn signs match up
nicely with Ash and Rowan’s.

Oak - The Stabilizer
June 10 – July 7
Those born under the Celtic tree astrology sign of the Oak have a
special gift of strength. They are protective people and often become a
champion for those who do not have a voice. In other words, the Oak is
the crusader
and the spokesperson for the underdog. Nurturing, generous and helpful,
you are a gentle giant among the Celtic zodiac signs. You exude an easy
confidence and naturally assume everything will work out to a positive
outcome. You have a deep respect for history and ancestry, and many
people with this sign become teachers. You love to impart your knowledge
of the past to others. Oak signs have a need for structure, and will
often go to great lengths to gain the feeling of control in their
lives. Healthy Oak signs live long, full, happy lives and enjoy large family
settings and are likely to be involved with large social/community
networks. Oak signs pair off well with the Ash and Reed, and are known
to harmoniously join with Ivy signs too.

Holly - The Ruler
July 8 – August 4
Among the Celtic tree astrology signs the Holly is one of regal status.
Noble, and high-minded, those born during the Holly era easily take on
positions of leadership
and power. If you are a Holly sign you take on challenges easily, and
you overcome obstacles with rare skill and tact. When you encounter
setbacks, you simply redouble your efforts and remain ever vigilant
to obtain your end goals. Very seldom are you defeated. This is why
many people look up to you and follow you as their leader. You are
competitive and ambitious even in the most casual settings. You can
appear to be arrogant but in actuality you’re just very confident
in your abilities. Truth be known, you are quite generous, kind and
affectionate (once people get to know you). Highly intelligent, you
skate through academics where others may struggle. Because many things
come to you so easily, you may have a tendency to rest on your laurels.
In other words, if not kept active, you may slip into an unhealthy and
lazy lifestyle. Holly signs may look to Ash and Elder signs for balance
and partnership.

Hazel - The Knower
August 5 – September 1
If you are born under the energy of the Hazel, you are highly
intelligent, organized and efficient. Like the Holly, you are naturally
gifted in academia,
and excel in the classroom. You also have the ability to retain
information and can recall, recite and expound on subjects you’ve
memorized with amazing accuracy. You know your facts, and you are
always well informed. This sometimes makes you appear like a
know-it-all to others, but you can’t help that; you’re genuinely smart
and usually know the right course of action because of your impressive
knowledge base. You have an eye for detail, and like things to
be “just so.” Sometimes this need for order and control can lead to
compulsive behaviors if left unchecked. You have a knack for numbers,
science and things that utilize your analytical skills. You like rules,
although you are typically making them rather than playing by them. The
Celtic tree astrology sign of Hazel joins harmoniously with Hawthorn
and Rowan’s.

Vine - The Equalizer
September 2 – September 29
Vine signs are born within the autumnal equinox, which makes your personality changeable
and unpredictable. You can be full of contradictions, and are often
indecisive. But this is because you can see both sides of the story,
and empathize with each equally. It is hard for you to pick sides
because you can see the good points on each end. There are, however,
areas in your life that you are quite sure about. These include the
finer things of life like food, wine, music, and art. You have very
distinctive taste, and are a connoisseur of refinement. Luxury
agrees with you, and under good conditions you have a Midas touch for
turning drab into dramatic beauty. You are charming, elegant, and
maintain a level of class that wins you esteem from a large fan base.
Indeed, you often find yourself in public places where others can
admire your classic style and poise. Vine signs pair well with Willow and Hazel signs.

Ivy - The Survivor
September 30 – October 27
Among other cherished qualities of the Ivy Celtic tree astrology sign,
most prized is your ability to overcome all odds. You have a sharp
intellect, but more obvious is your compassion and loyalty to others.
You have a giving nature, and are always there to lend a helping hand.
You are born at a time of the waning sun
so life can be difficult for you at times. This sometimes seems unfair
because it appears that obstacles are coming at with no prompting on
your part. Nevertheless, you endure troubling times with silent
perseverance and soulful grace. Indeed, Ivy signs have a tendency to be deeply spiritual and cling to a deep-rooted
faith that typically sees them trough adversity. You are soft spoken,
but have a keen wit about you. You are charming, charismatic, and can
effectively hold your own in most social settings. Ivy signs are
attracted to the Celtic tree astology sign of Oak and Ash signs.

Reed - The Inquisitor
October 28 – November 24
Reed signs among the Celtic tree astrology signs are the secret keepers.
You dig deep inside to the real meaning of things and discover the
truth hidden beneath layers of distraction. When there is a need to get
to the heart of the matter, most certainly the Reed sign will find the
core. You love a good story, and can be easily drawn in by
gossip, scandals, legend and lore. These tendencies also make you an
excellent historian, journalist, detective or archeologist. You love
people because they represent a diversity of meanings for you to
interpret. You are adept at coaxing people to talking to you,
and sometimes you can be a bit manipulative. However, you have a strong
sense of truth and honor so most of your scheming is harmless. Reed
people join well with other Reeds, Ash or Oak signs.

Elder - The Seeker
November 25 – December 23
Elder archetypes among Celtic tree astrology tend to be freedom-loving,
and sometimes appear to be a bit wild to the other signs of the zodiac.
In younger years you may have lived life in the fast lane,
often identified as a “thrill seeker.” At the time of your birth the
light of the sun was fast fleeting and so you take the same cue from
nature. You are often misjudged as an outsider as you have a tendency
to be withdrawn in spite of your extroverted nature. In actuality, you
are deeply thoughtful with philosophical bent. You also tend to
be very considerate of others and genuinely strive to be helpful. These
acts of assistance are sometimes thwarted by your brutal honestly (which you openly share solicited or otherwise). Elder Celtic tree astrology signs fit well with Alder’s and Holly’s.
