  This gift book provides an illustrated, in-depth guide to the ancient Celtic zodiac, based on the lunar rather than the solar system. The Celts divided the year into 13 lunar months and each lunar month was related to a particular tree - hawthorn, holly and oak for example. Symbolic representations of these trees became the basis of the 13 signs of the Celtic zodiac. This book includes a description of each Celtic zodiac design together with details of the salient character traits of those born under it and information on figures from myth and legend whose worship was linked with it. It also presents concepts such as linking the Celtic zodiac to the Australian Aboriginals and Atlantis. Designed to be of interest to those who have never felt at ease with their traditional sun sign, the Celtic zodiac frequently provides an alternative. Helen Paterson is a professional astrologer who is also the author of Celtic Tarot Pack .
