The Celtic Tree Zodiac

ᚁBirch

Celtic tree zodiac · Dec 24 – Jan 20 · Ogham Beith · the Stag

The first month of the Celtic tree calendar, the birch (Dec 24 – Jan 20), paired with the stag in the animal zodiac.

Birch is the tree of beginnings: renewal, fresh starts, and the quiet courage to try again after a hard season. Carrying the stag's pride, independence, and eye on the far horizon, it learns that a clean start reaches further with others walking beside it.
