Birch

Celtic tree astrology, the modern Ogham-inspired lore that maps temperament onto the solar year, opens its cycle with the Birch moon, and Birch has long been read as pioneer wood, pale bark after winter, purification, and the quiet courage to begin again when the old season feels spent. People born under Birch are often described as resilient and honest in folk summaries, not because they never falter, but because they recover quickly when life asks for a fresh page rather than a perfect one. The tree teaches that innocence and strength can coexist, and that renewal is less a single dramatic restart than a habit of returning to what is true. Hold Birch as seasonal poetry on the calendar, one voice in a chorus of traditions rather than a verdict on your character.
