a guide to celtic astrology

what's your sign?

Hi everyone!

This week I wanted to do something a little different and fun! I recently bought a Celtic Astrology Oracle deck and learned about the different signs. There are 13 signs and they align with your birth date, just like star signs, except in Celtic tradition your sign is connected to a plant and an animal instead of stars.

The signs embody deep wisdom, unique traits, and spiritual guidance. The animal acts as an extra spirit to enhance and guide your personal energy.

Below I’ll share the signs and you can find the date that corresponds with your birthday for more insight on what nature has to say about you!

🌳 The Achiever: December 24 - January 20

You are someone who seeks out excellence in every aspect of your life. You are always drawn to improve yourself or any situation you encounter. You are a natural born leader and are meant to pave the way for others.

Animal: Stag

Integrity is your trademark. In your life, you feel like you need a purpose to feel fulfilled. You carry strength, confidence, and vision everywhere you go. There’s a quiet wisdom about you that makes you radiant to others.

Message

Don’t let perfectionism get to you too much. Instead embrace fresh starts and trust your gut and inner leader instinct. No matter what, you were born to stand out.

🌳 The Thinker: January 21 - February 17

Plant: Rowan

This tree is full of protection and intuition. You are someone who doesn’t follow the crowd and instead, sets the trends. You listen to your soul when it comes to your inner calling and don’t listen to others about how you are supposed to live your life. You are born to be creative and have a strong intuition when it comes to sensing hidden truths.

Animal: Cat

Your spirit guide, the cat, makes you independent, mysterious, and deeply spiritual. You may be very observant of others, but you thrive off your own personal freedom. You are skillful and resourceful and are always able to find your way through troubled times.

🌳 The Enchanter: February 18 - March 17

Plant: Ash

You are full of imagination. You may naturally be shy, but when you find your people, you are strong and outgoing. There’s something magical about you and your imagination. But Enchanters have to be careful of not spending too much time in their fantasy worlds. There’s magical opportunities in real life too.

Animal: Snake

You are able to shed your skin and renew yourself again whenever you want to evolve. You have a cool exterior but there’s always more going on below the surface than meets the eye. You are cunning, smart, and always have a heightened perception of what’s going on around you.

🌳 The Trailblazer: March 18 to April 14

But you are also a very adventurous person, that sometimes may be hard for others to keep up with. You are someone who likes to move and explore. You like to try new things and have new experiences. You may be impatient and restless sometimes. But your natural warmth and kindness makes up for that.

Animal: Fox

Your animal spirit guide, the fox, provides you with intelligence and wisdom. You tend to be very clever and quick-witted in all situations. You are someone who should never be underestimated, because no matter the circumstance, you always come up with a way to land on your feet.

🌳 The Observer: April 15 - May 12

Plant: Willow

You always trust your intuition and follow its guidance, even if it makes no sense to others. The willow is the moon’s favorite tree, which means you are ruled by your big dreams and your strong emotions. But that’s a good thing. Others may ask you for advice a lot because they trust your wisdom. You are always able to discern the truth, in all moments of your life.

Animal: Cow

Being born in the sign of the cow means you are loving, thoughtful, and strong. The cow, a celebrated creature in Celtic culture, represents nourishment and abundant good fortune. You are gentle and calm, but sometimes your strong emotions cause stubbornness, and you can never push a cow, if they don’t want to be moved.

Your Celtic Tree Sign is a Guide, Not a Box

Just like the trees and animals in nature, we are always growing, shifting, and evolving. Your sign reflects your soul’s energy and natural gifts, but how you bloom is entirely up to you. Whether you resonate deeply or find pieces of yourself in many signs, trust that nature always whispers truth to those who listen.

Let your sign empower you, inspire you, and most importantly, remind you of how magical you already are.

I hope you all enjoyed.

Until next time,
