Celtic Tree Zodiac – An Interesting Twist On Horoscope With An Overview On Celtic Astrology Signs

Thanks to the fact there are 13 months in a Celtic Tree Calendar, so we have 13 different signs in Celtic Tree Horoscope, one for every month or moon or tree, according to the chosen point of view.
Let’s be honest – this horoscope is a mixture of New Age beliefs and observations of druids, adapted to the Sun (not Moon!) calendar, what makes many astrologers to frown upon. Yet, sometimes the traits of the zodiac signs in Celtic Tree system pan out surprisingly correct. If not, they can be at least a fun addition to other horoscope knowledge.
