Astrology: Irish Astrology and Celtic Symbols


Celtic Tree Astrology, another name for Irish Astrology, is the system of astrology practiced by the ancient Irish. The Druid symbol system forms the basis of Irish Astrology and not the traditional systems like Chinese, Vedic or Western astrology.

The Celtic symbols are drawn from the faith in Druids. It is based on the lunar cycle in which the year is classified into 13 months. A unique tree, that is considered as sacred by druids, is assigned to each of these months. Each of these trees has a distinct magical quality. The mystery behind these magical trees has been derived from the Ogram – the ancient shamanic alphabet. It is believed that the tree alphabet originated from the God of Poetry, also referred to as Celtic Herkules.
