About This Quiz

Sure, we've all heard of astrology and Chinese astrology, but one of the more fascinating astrological trees is Celtic astrology. Even though the most popular way to read a Celtic astrology chart is to use the tree chart, if trees aren't your thing, there is an alternative set of signs depicting animals. Instead of using mythology, the Celts relied on the animals that surrounded them to account for most signs. On top of this, instead of using the solar calendar or birth year, the Celts relied on the lunar calendar, giving them a total of 13 signs instead of 12. This gave them extra wiggle room to provide information for each sign's profiles, and because these animals were surrounding them, studies of an animal's behaviors came into play.

Those born under the swan sign are known for its fidelity and grace. Given that swans mate for life and they glide across the water effortlessly, you can see the animal's influences on the description of the sign. Another example is the butterfly sign, whose profile description is that they are supposed to be able to chat it up with almost anyone. When butterflies gather pollen, they flutter from flower to flower, which probably provided the Celts with their inspiration.

So are you ready to see what Celtic animal sign we think you should belong to? Put up those complicated charts and take this quiz!
