1. Celtic Astrological Signs( Total Set 05Nos.)

The ancient Ogham stone.
By Sally Painter
Celtic astrological signs were derived from Druidism, a religion that
believes trees provide a sacred place for spirits to reside.
Irish Astrology and Modern Celtic Astrology
The existence of an ancient Celtic astrologicalsystem evokes a
heated debate among scholars. Some claim there was none, while
others turn to references made in ancient Irish texts. Others cite
ancient Greek text acknowledging the Celts' accomplishments in
astronomy as proof that an ancient astrological system once
existed. It's documented that the astrology practiced by the Irish
between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries was a form of Arabic
astrology.
Celtic astrology, as known today, was created by the poet Robert
Graves in his bookThe White Goddess (published in 1946).
According to Graves, the Celtic lunar calendar comprised of thirteen
months was the basis of Irish astrology. Graves's book gave birth to
a new astrology commonly accepted by the general population as
the ancient Celtic astrology. Scholars claim that his tree zodiac is a

decide for yourself if Graves' astrology has value.
Lunar Power
In Celtic (Druid) symbolism, the moon represents the subconscious
mind and hidden matters while the sun represents the conscious
mind. The moon is the repository of the subconscious mind where
true knowledge of past lives resides. Using the lunar calendar, Celtic
astrology unlocks your past life memories and other hidden
mysteries.
Lunar Months Signs
Each lunar calendar month, thirteen in all, is assigned a tree
symbol. The trees' energies are said to be revealed through the Tree
Alphabet.
Tree Alphabet
The Ogham (commonly pronounced Oh -m) glyphs are the only
written form left by the Druids. Graves created an alphabet by
assigning a different tree for each of the twenty letters (a series of
markings).
Unlocking Celtic Symbolism

To unlock the mysteries of Celtic astrology, it's important for you to
understand the two premises of Druid spirituality of reincarnation
and cellular memory. By unlocking past life knowledge, you can
then build upon knowledge you've accumulated from many
lifetimes.
Tree Spirits
Druidism respects nature and your place within the world. Like other
tribal cultures, the Celts lived in harmony with nature. They believed
in energy and that all living matter had energy. This belief stretched
beyond the physical world into the supernatural world. Druidism
espoused the ideology of creating balance between opposites. This
oneness is symbolized by the joining of male and female energies.

3. The Celtic Astrological Signs
According to scholar, Peter B. Ellis, the Celtic calendar was similar to
the Vedic one. Another aspect of Celtic astrology is the animal
symbols used to depict the conscious mind. When the animal
symbols are used in conjunction with the tree signs, a bridge is
formed between the conscious and subsconscious mind. In Western
Astrology, the animal zodiac would be called the rising sign.
