What Is Your Celtic Astrology Sign? · 1:49pm Nov 5th, 2016

What Is Your Celtic Astrology Sign?

I'm an Elder Tree, my rune symbol is ruis, my animal is a Raven, my stone is a jet, my ruling planet is Saturn, and the Celtic god who watches over me is Cailleach Beara. XD

Find out yours.


The Thirteen Signs

Unlike western astrology which has a twelve month calendar, Celtic astrology utilizes a thirteen month calendar with an extra day used as sort of a passing marker into the next half of the year. There is a lot of debate among scholars on how the Celtic calendar was organized since the Celts didn't leave a lot of written details about the inner workings of their civilization behind.

However, it is believed that Celtic peoples had various guiding forces in their lives which included the Gods, a birthstone, a runic symbol given at birth, a tree that symbolized their connection with the earth, and an animal that guided them through their lives. The Celtic Zodiac is divided based on these guiding forces.

Astrological Charts

Your sign will be closer to your personality if you get an astrology chart drawn up for you. Astrology charts basically map out everything about your personality from the day you are born and also add in your sun and Moon signs. Some people are closer to their moon sign or sun sign, so it gives them their unique personality traits. I've had an astrology chart drawn up for me before. It was crazy accurate.

Astrology itself borrows a lot from numerology and astrological charts are typically drawn up based on the position of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies on a specific date (and even down to a specific time).

This is why astrological charts for people (or birth/ natal charts) are always more accurate than just the basic sign. They take into account the specific day and time of birth.

This is a site where you can generate your own birth chart for fun: https://alabe.com/freechart/

That will give you an example of how the positions of celestial bodies are read to make a full reading on an individual.
