Celtic Animal Zodiac Overview

 

There is more than one type of zodiac that individuals study and follow. For example, many people are familiar with the Greek zodiac, the type seen by most and represented the most.

The Greek Zodiac is focused on the sun and the moon. Twelve divisions or signs are part of the formation. Those signs include Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces, Aquarius, and Leo.

The Greek Zodiac is different from the Celtic Animal Zodiac. The latter is a form of astrology with Wiccan traditions.

What is Wicca? It’s a pagan religion (a religion that does not follow modern traditions, such as Christianity) that appeared in England in the 20th century and born from ancient pagan rituals.

Celtic Wicca is a contemporary tradition of Wicca that focuses on Celtic mythology. The Celtic Animal Zodiac is a form of this belief.

Born from a desire to honor and respect nature and the environment, the zodiac focuses on an animal that is most important during the season and month of an individual’s birth.

There are 13 different animals represented. By studying each animal and their representation, Wiccans believe you can better understand yourself and live a better life.

Deer

December 24 to January 20

The Deer is associated with goals and motivation. A person who is born within these dates has high beliefs and high aspirations.

They would be the type of person who would write their goals down and work to achieve them. There’s a term that is often used with goal setters – “never give up.” A person born under the Deer sign would never give up. They would continue with their goals until they reached their dreams.

People born under this Celtic animal may have doubts, but unlike those who quit at the first sign of stress or anxiety or lack of belief, this person would acknowledge that the road ahead is not easy and that the only way to get to the end of the road is to keep pressing on.

Cat

January 21 to February 17

People born under the Cat in the Celtic Animal Zodiac are blessed with the gift of intellect and wit. If there is a problem that needs to be fixed, but that requires an above average intelligent and an ability to be good at logic, a person under the Cat has that ability.

In addition to being intelligent, people born under the Cat are artistic. They can come up with intelligent creations and unique ways to develop a vision. Without people such as those born under the Cat, the world could be filled with “robots.” Everyone would think and act the same.
