Celtic Animal Signs

This page on Celtic animal signs is an extension of the Celtic tree astrology section. I’ve selected each Celtic sign according to their prominence and affiliation with the full moon within each segment of the Celtic (lunar) year.

The Celts honored the rhythms of Nature, and observed different flavors of their environment according to the season. Like our Native American kin, the full moon in each month held a special personality. To know more clearly what I mean by this, (check out this page devoted to Native American full moons and their personalities).

I cannot say the ancient Celts designated zodiac totem animals according to the time and day of a kinsman/kinswoman’s birth. However, I can attest the Celts were undeniably bound to the animal world.

There seems to be no separation between Celtic-kind and animal-kind.

Cast your mind back to the time of the Celts, and observe: Their breath united with the breathing forests. Their eyes blink with the flittering feathers from their bird kin. Their hearts beat in rhythm with the wild beasts of the wood.

Indeed, no distinction between man and nature is made in Celtic ideology. Just as all prime people know, there is no delineation. There is only one.

In that energetic spirit of oneness, I invite you connect with your own lunar Celtic animal sign. Explore the possibilities your lunar totems have for you. Further, explore all the animal personalities in the Celtic year. Doing this might expand your awareness about the people around you, the animals we resonate with, and the glory of our universe.

I hope you enjoy these perspectives on Celtic animal signs as much as I did while writing them.

Stag/Deer
December 24 – January 20
The stag Celtic animal sign has high ideals and aspirations. If you want to start a new project, get a Stag sign to help you. They will not be deterred from their vision. They are thorough, patient and their persistence insures their triumphs. When others have long given up, Stags buck their way past boundaries. They are proud, and rightfully so – they hold themselves in a regal way. They are naturally noble, like they came from royalty. This is not to say Stags feel entitled. Far from it. They believe in righteous hard work, and their integrity is their trademark.

I am a seahorse...rather be a swan	Permalink

Meh, maybe some of it. Definitely not the managing finances part. The stag sounds like Nick, or sounds like Capricorn anyway. Seahorse May 13 - June 9 The Celtic animal sign of seahorse is vastly flexible and resourceful. The seahorse is the person you want managing your finances or handling your legal matters because these people are infinitely clever (if there's a loophole, they've either found it or invented it). They also have amazing memory retention. They are sometimes hard to follow because they’re minds are so sharp. They can also be changeable, but they always come back around to a level of high charisma. These people are astoundingly versatile and adapt remarkably well in any environment. Seahorses are so loveable too. Even better, they love being adored, and easily reciprocate affection. __________________

LOL! You'd rather be a Swan? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! We are nothing special, let me assure you. Oh and to answer your question, yes, I do have a bday coming up. It's just around the corner. I am a typical Libran if truth be told. Fairness in all things is a driving force and discord eats me up alive. Now, you, Lady Trueheart, are a Gemini which is truly an honorable creature. I'm married to a Gemini, btw. Oh...and here is a description of a Swan.... Swan September 2 - September 29 Spiritually evolved, and eloquent in expressing themselves, the swan swims in a class of their own. They have high standards, infinitely discriminating tastes and they have a keen eye for beauty (even when others cannot see it). Very refined and noble, sometimes the swan is mistaken as detached. This however, is not the case. The swan is a lover, and can prove to be quite passionate in relationships. That "coolness" comes from the swan's understanding of composure. They’re natural aristocrats. They can be exacting in details, and have specific ideas about how things should be done. If you want someone who is perceptive, organized and extremely tasteful, get a swan’s perspective. -- Edited by White Fay on Saturday 4th of September 2010 04:18:01 AM __________________ "Love one another but make not a bond of love.

Typical Libra, then that means you can't make up your mind. And you know all Geminis are two-faced. LOL, just jesting, I used to do horoscopes for fun, and still find it interesting. Gemini and Libra are very compatible. My husband is a Leo, only a Gemini can put up with him!! __________________

RE: CELTIC animal signs.....	Permalink

Ya know......it's weird. My husband fits the 'moody' side of a Gemini.....and in that regard....is 'two faced' meaning he can flit from one mood to another so fast it makes my head swim.....but I would never call him 'two faced' in the darkest meaning of the word...meaning.....he ALWAYS says exactly what he means and never plays head games. In that way....a truly honorable human being. Now....Leos are interesting creatures. Both my mother in law.....who is a Dragon Lady in disguise and my brother.....who tends to go the 'woe is me' route in life are Leos. I love em' but I couldn't live with em.......LOL!!!!! __________________ "Love one another but make not a bond of love.

What an interesting site! Here is, what it says about the butterfly: Butterfly September 30. - October 27. This celtic animal sign lives up to the adage "social butterfly". Flitting from friend to friend in parties, and always in contact with loved ones (they`re the ones always on the phone, or texting).They can`t help it. Butterflies are gentle souls who can`t be tied down for very long. They love to dream, express new ideas and talk about high-faletin plans with all their friends. These are the people, who brighten up any dark day with their cheer and magnetically bright personalities. They are naturally empathetic, and would never intentionally harm anyone. Rather, they make easy friends, and like to see others uplifted. Butterflies bring a sense of wonder and youth to our world. Keep these people around you to remind you of how truly good life can be. Thanks, White Fay, for posting it! :) __________________ "When you think about magic, it is imagination plus willpower focused in such a way that you can create a conscious effect in the material world..."

I am a:

Fish/Salmon
August 5 - September 1
Salmon signs dive deep in their inner waters for inspiration, bright visions and dreamy perspective. They are naturally intuitive but they don’t make a big deal out of it. These people have a unique view of the world which makes them some of the community’s best artists, poets and visionaries. Some times they dive way too deep for the rest of us, and some just can’t follow where they swim. But that’s okay, the fish sign needs that kind of depth, isolation and introspection because when they come back up for air, the world is awed by their brilliance and insight.

I like what it says about me, only this can both work good and against me.
