For the ancient Celts, trees were sacred. For the Celts, spirits lived in the trees. These spirits were believed to have held knowledge and wisdom. They also symbolized the connection among all living things on Earth.
Celtic culture had high-ranking religious leaders called Druids. They were priests, teachers, judges, and philosophers. For the Druids, each tree had its own unique qualities.
Over time, they assigned the qualities of each tree to a certain time of the year. This practice helped the Druids look into people and their personalities. Thus, Celtic Tree Astrology was born.
The Druids created Celtic Tree Astrology by looking at the phases of the moon. They divided the year into 13 months, with every month having 28 days. (December 23 is Nameless Day, since it is an extra day in the Druids' calendar.) The Druids then assigned a tree for each month, with its corresponding qualities.

Whichever sign you are born under, the fact remains...
...you and your personality are an important part of the Universe!
You are connected to the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and every being that exists. You have a rightful place in this world. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
Whenever you feel like you're getting disconnected, remember your Celtic tree astrological sign. Think about all your wonderful qualities - the qualities that make you, you!
One little slip-up doesn't define you. Only you know exactly who you are, and how you can shine your light on the world.
A simple trick to always remember this fact is having a visual prompt. Wearing a necklace around your neck is an example. Whenever you look in the mirror, you will see the necklace and it will give you reaffirmations.
So, when you have a Tree of Life necklace around your neck, you will always keep this in mind...
...that you're important, you're connected with the Earth, and you have a purpose in this world.
