Meaning and Definition of Celtic horoscope

Definition of Celtic horoscope

If we speak of the horoscope must place us in the knowledge that encompasses it, astrology. Astrology is a pseudoscience which is based on the following principle: there is a relationship between the personal reality of each individual and the position of the stars, in such a way that according to the date of birth of every human being will have a personality and a specific purpose.
According to the worldview of every people or civilization, there are different horoscopes. This way, the Mayans, the Chinese, Hindus or the civilization of ancient Egypt presented an own horoscope.

The Celtic culture

The Celts did not leave written testimony, but are known through Greek and Roman historians and from archaeological sources. We know that you were a warrior people, of stocky and organized appearance with a hierarchical structure, in which the priests Druids had an important role. Although Celtic peoples disappeared, his legacy remains still (Gaelic, roots music Celtic and the festivity of Halloween are a clear proof).

The Celtic horoscope characteristics

For the Celtic forests and trees had a sacred value, so the horoscope is based on 21 signs and each of them is represented by a particular tree.
The date of birth of each person corresponds to a tree as a zodiac sign. Thus, the year is divided astrologically with the following scheme: the autumn and spring equinox correspond to olive trees and oak respectively and, on the other hand, the summer and winter solstice corresponds to the Birch and beech respectively. The remaining 17 signs are also trees that relate to periods of the year.
Each tree or sign performs a double function on individuals: protects you during your life and brings his personality. See it with two specific examples: 1) born between 3 and 12 September are governed by the weeping willow and melancholic, nice, demanding, dreamy and prone people suffering in love affairs and 2) born between October 24 and November 11 belong to the sign of the walnut and are noble and aggressive individuals selfish, contradictory, ambitious and little inclined to compromise.
The particularity of the Celtic horoscope lies in that life and fate of persons is governed by two levels: the phases of the Moon and the reality of life of the Celtic peoples, i.e., his life in the nature in which the trees were of a spiritual dimension.
