June 12, 2023 Moon’s Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the June 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on June 12 has an illumination of 32%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On June 12 the Moon is 23.91 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

With the Sun at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering light, you’re going to look fabulous to everyone this week. Get out there and fly your colours! Meanwhile, this is an excellent day for financial discussions or talks about banking, taxes, debt and hidden matters.

You’re prepared to work right now and the celestial stars will help you do this. Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt or something related to home and real estate will go well today because you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in. Once you set the pace, then others will follow the role that you model.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This beginning of the week will start as auspicious as possible for you but this doesn’t mean there aren’t things for you to worry about.

You might be a bit too bold and overly confident and this might prompt you into taking some plain bad decisions. This might be dues to previous recognition of your success. Temper yourself and don’t let success go to your head.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This beginning of the week will find you all worried about family issues and you won’t have any time for you. So brace yourself and accept all the troubles coming for you because you are also the only one in the family to deal with them properly.

So take them one by one and be sure that with logic and patience you will be able to get everything done by dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This Monday will offer you the exciting opportunity to make new friends and you are sure to accept it without a blink. This means you are actively searching for people that are alike you to interact with.

You shouldn’t place all your willpower in this direction because you might get distracted from other things you should be tending to this day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Monday will offer you the chance to expand your knowledge, either in a formal, educational place or from the comfort of your home, on the internet.

The point is that you will come in contact with an important piece of information that will make you view your professional life in a different way than you do now. This day will play a role to your close future.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A domestic situation might reach its boiling point by the middle of the day and this means that you will have to postpone all other activities, especially personal ones, in order to tend to it.

While the whole cause might not be such important, the conflict it raises will sure make you spill some harsh words to your partner or to someone in the family.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Monday will be beneficial to changes that have to do with your look and the way you dress. This means this is a great time to start the week by going shopping and updating your wardrobe.

Maybe even get a new haircut. Be sure that your changes won’t remain unnoticed and most people will tell you that it was about time for you to try something new.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might start the week being faced with a dilemma concerning your personal and professional life. On one hand you are completely aware of the amount of work you have for the week while on the other hand you feel the need to spend some time with your family.

Taking some time to figure things out will get you through the work day without you even noticing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today some frustrations or hidden difficulties you’ve had will surface and everyone around will be affected when the volcano erupts.

This means that your emotions will kind of swirl out of control and you might feel inclined to say things you don’t really mean just to vent. Make sure you don’t do it around people you don’t know.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The current disposition will offer you some unexpected news and opportunities in the area of your career. It might not necessarily be a promotion or something extraordinary but you will sure be happy when some of the weight load will be lifted.

Just be careful not to overlook your family issues because of spending too much time at work.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This current disposition will prompt you to leave all work aside and go for the great outdoors. This means that you will definitely feel the need to get some fresh air and you might plan a quick break out of town.

Don’t take any rash decisions but also don’t be afraid of a bit of impulsivity from time to time. A little winding up will get you to be a lot more efficient.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This current disposition will offer you an adequate mental state to approach various kinds of your personal problems. This also means that you will have the courage to approach your family, your partner or your friends and talk openly about the things that are troubling you.

It is also a great time to talk about money with your partner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This current disposition won’t really transmit you the best and you won’t be feeling like going out or doing something out of the ordinary.

Instead you will prefer remaining under known borders, in the coziness of your home and in the presence of your loved ones. Don’t be afraid to join them if they leave for a relaxing holiday abroad.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Thought for Today

We are keeping Dreamer as comfortable as we can using manmade medicine and an herbal tea until we take her in on June 22nd to enter her eternal sleep. We are asking for prayers that she crossed here at home before then, so she is in a familiar place surrounded by those who love her both 2 legged and 4 legged. Yes, this is an extremely hard prayer to ask for, but we are doing it because we love her so deeply and want her pain to end.

All Signs

This is a productive week! Especially in the beginning of the week – go, go, go. Nevertheless, Venus and Mars in Leo will invite us to goof off and enjoy fun outings, especially like sports and romance. (These occur for each sign in a different way). By the end of the week, fun socializing and romantic opportunities will offer exciting possibilities for most of us. Admittedly, there will be a speedbump midweek. This means we have to take the bad with the good. Adapt smoothly to whatever happens. For example. if you drop a few ice cubes, kick them under the freezer, cuz it’s just water under the fridge.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a fast-paced week! You’re eager to learn new things, as well as share your ideas with others. Short trips will appeal. One lovely influence is the fact that both Venus and Mars are in your fellow Fire Sign, Leo, which makes you sportive, playful and eager to do your own thing. It’s a good time for games, sports and fun in general. You are the artisan of the zodiac – you have many hobbies – and now is a wonderful time to explore a variety of creative activities. Meanwhile love and sexy romance are favoured! You’re happy because there is no need to pretend to be what you are not.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Remember that this is a most fortunate time for you because lucky Jupiter is in your sign until June next year. This is a wonderful benefit for you and it is something that can happen only once every 12 years. Meanwhile, at the moment, both the Sun and Mercury are in your House of Earnings boosting your moneymaking ideas and increasing your focus on cash flow and earnings. Because there is increased activity and chaos on the home front, possibly due to redecorating or renovations, as well as visiting guests, this is also an excellent time to make purchases and spend money to make your home more attractive. (You love a beautiful home, especially with quality antiques.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re keen to talk to others because not only is the Sun in your sign, your ruler Mercury is as well. This gives you a busy mind, which is why you will jump from issue to issue when talking to others. Mercury also gives you a strong urge to get out and travel, especially for short trips. Needless to say, you want to share your views with everyone. Fortunately, supporting this desire to communicate is the fact that both Venus and Mars are in your House of Communications, making your words sweet and diplomatic. How timely! Because others find you charming and entertaining, your social life will pick up. You will also discover there is a lot of love in your everyday world. (Hugs!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There is some contradictory energy at play for your sign right now. In one way, you’re happy to keep a low profile and work alone or behind the scenes. Nevertheless, Jupiter is attracting many people to you. You are more involved with friends then usual and certainly, more involved with clubs and organizations! In fact, some of you are in dispute with others about some basic values. Mars will make you work to establish and defend your values, especially because you want others to understand them. Meanwhile, you can attract money to you making this a favourable time for financial negotiations, including borrowing money. You’ll enjoy shopping for beautiful clothes, jewelry and art.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a lovely time for you because both Venus and Mars are in your sign. Venus will heighten your desire to relate to others, which is why this is a great time to enjoy socializing or vacations or anything that gives you pleasure. It’s also a wonderful time to shop for wardrobe goodies. Meanwhile, Mars will stir up your desire to be active and do things! (You will certainly be more of a fighter for your own rights than usual.) Your physical energy is high, which means you can get a lot done. Both the Sun and Mercury will urge you to think about your goals and your expectations in life. Enjoy the conversation of younger people because their energy will revitalize you. Share the magic!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

For the next few weeks, the Sun and Mercury are at high noon in your chart. (This happens only once a year.) This has the effect of putting you in the limelight. You look attractive to others because this light is flattering! Since this is a case, you can use this to your advantage. Go after what you want. You don’t have to do anything super special to impress others – you simply look good. This is also the perfect time to examine your life, your career, your role in society and your life direction in general. Are you headed where you want to go? What is working for you and what is not? With Mercury high in your chart, this is a great time to talk to bosses and people in authority.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re restless for adventure! Grab every chance to take a trip, travel, take courses, talk to people from different backgrounds – do something different! Basically, you want to broaden your horizons and have new experiences. Meanwhile, both Venus and Mars are sitting in your House of Friendships. Venus will heighten your friendly energy, which means it’s a great time to socialize with friends as well as groups. Even business conferences and meetings will go well. (A friend could become a lover.) Meanwhile, Mars will help you formulate goals and identify with what you want to do, especially working with groups. Physical activity with friends will give you personal gratification.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a strong desire to improve yourself and experience life at a true feeling level – something real – not just an intellectual abstraction. Because of this, you might attract someone powerful to you who triggers some self-inquiry? They might challenge your value structure? Meanwhile, you can’t ignore finances, shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt. Certainly, with both Venus and Mars at the top of your chart right now, it’s a favourable time for your business and professional life because you will attract people and circumstances that help you. (You might also fall in love with a boss or mentor figure.) Mars of course, will arouse your ambition. It’s all coming together for you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are the traveller of the zodiac and right now you have chances to blow town. Do whatever you can to travel or get a change of scenery because this is what you really want to do. You will also enjoy art exhibits and learning exciting new philosophies. Musical performances and concerts will appeal. Romance with someone “different” might begin for some of you. You’re very interested in expanding your mind now and looking for experiences to open up new dimensions of reality. Admittedly, some of you are involved with the law or the courts. Meanwhile, certain things in your life are reaching a culmination. This could involve conflict. One day at a time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Of course, you like to socialize and have fun as much as the next person. But you really get a sense of personal accomplishment and gratification when you can be super productive. It feels so good. This is why you will enjoy working so hard this week, especially at the beginning of the week, so that you can get as much done as possible. In fact, you will roll up your sleeves and be hands-on in any job that you do. Meanwhile, quite separate and apart from this (unless you have a work-related romance going on in the mail room) this is also a passionate, sexy week! Therefore, pace yourself because this week is the perfect example of a time when you will work hard and party hard! Yay!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a playful time for you! (Lucky Aquarians are on vacation!) Even if you can’t slip away on a fun escape, you will choose to do what you want when you want because you feel that right now, it’s all about you. Yeah! You’re putting amusement and recreation at the top of the list, which is why sports events, social outings and fun activities with kids are ideal choices for you. Meanwhile relations with partners and close friends are lively and yet, smooth and accommodating, which is testimony to your fantastic people skills. After all, who knows better than you how to network with the world? That’s how you roll.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Home, family and increased involvement with a parent are your focus this week. In fact, many of you might be tackling home repairs. You have a lot of energy now to work in your job or at any task you set for yourself. In fact, you are likely delegating to others as well. This week is a good time to discuss agreements and define duties and obligations that involve you. It’s also a good time to address issues that might affect your health. Be careful because Venus will encourage overindulgence and sweets. (I’m thinking creme caramel?) Having said this, you can still deal with the real world, especially with optimism and hopeful plans for the future.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that today you will be quite stubborn and put your ambition to every activity you have planned for the day.

This means that people will find it hard to deal with you and conflicts may arise, especially from situations that have underlying feelings and frustrations waiting to surface. Don’t waste your energy in the wrong directions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Sunday you will have to brace yourself with a lot of patience and understanding because it will feel like everyone you come in contact with is set to get on your nerves.

Maybe it’s something going on in some places or just the exhaustion from the week before. You will get unexpected help in your endeavors from someone in your family.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It seems that this Sunday it will be very important for you to stay in places that are inspirational. This means you will be all fickle and active in the morning and then you will set to one place in the afternoon.

Surround yourself with people you enjoy spending time with if you want to have an agreeable time. Someone from the past might return.

A certain event that you will be taking part in today will prompt you to value yourself more and to think fonder of yourself. You will also get a chance to compare your accomplishments to those of people around you and you will probably get a positive feedback.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today might force you to pay some bills. This is definitely a metaphor to some things you will need to repair due to bad decisions taken previously.

Therefore your day will be quite busy with you making amends and only later in the afternoon you will get the chance to spend some time on your own. Don’t get into any dangerous combinations.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You should be using this Sunday as a retreat from all the troubles and activities but you shouldn’t be doing all the relaxation on your own.

Why not invite your friends at your place and spend some fun time together. Or maybe you should use the weekend to visit your family and reconnect with them. The only thing you shouldn’t be doing this weekend is work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This Sunday you might find it difficult to keep your feet on the ground, not as long as your heart is trying to jump out of your chest.

It seems that love has awaken in yourself and you either meet someone new or start seeing your partner in a totally new light. Just don’t let yourself yearn over an impossible love because this is the worst thing for you now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This Sunday you might have to play it cool and take some risks if you want to gain something. This means that things are going to get more and more complicated in your personal life and you should be playing in a more confident league.

Be bold and speak your mind. Try to live by your convictions and you will see that those around you will follow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It seems that despite this being the weekend all you can talk about is work. But this is not necessarily a bad thing as long as you are using your energy around the right persons.

If you keep your eyes open you might even have the occasion to discover a project that suits you best and then work your way up to managing it to completion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today is going to be a very passionate day for you so why not take your partner and go someplace adventurous just the two of you.

You will long for intimacy and reaching it will help you rediscover yourselves as a couple. Single natives will also emanate an incredible attractiveness and will find themselves surrounded by many people.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are going to be very emotional and distrusting today. Maybe it didn’t happen anything to make you feel like this or maybe there are things already bothering you in someone you know for a long time.

However, maybe you shouldn’t be all reckless and maybe you should try to speak to that person before jumping to conclusions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Sunday is going to be very quiet for you and there won’t be anything to really trouble you. Your friends are up for fun so maybe you should join them to forget about any worries you might have for next week.

It would be ideal for you to spend as much time as you can outdoor but don’t engage in any extensive physical activities.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Update on Dreamer and a Little Chuckle for Today

Big Dawg started teasing me yesterday that he has plane reservations for June 20th to go to Florida. Our wedding is on the 21st. We went to bed late last night as it was really early this morning when of those nights it is hard to fall asleep due do worry over Dreamer. When he looked at his alarm clock this morning the date read 6/21. So, even his alarm clock won’t let him miss our wedding…LOL. He is counting down the days with me now as on the tenth day from to today we will become Mrs. and Mr.! I Will be taking June 20th, 21st, 22nd and possibly the 23rd off. I will schedule the birthday horoscopes, current moon phase and planetary positions to go live on their correct date. The daily horoscopes will only be from one source on most of these dates.

Dreamer is getting worse by the day. We have an appointment for her on June 22nd when we have made the very heart wrenching and difficult decision that will we ease her way into eternal sleep. I find it hard to believe that it will be around $450.00 to do this. I think and feel it is a shame that not only do human funeral homes and crematoriums charge too high of a price for laying a loved one’s body to rest but that animal ones do it also. We will be getting her ashes back to put alongside my beloved Boots, who crossed the rainbow bridge November 6, 2007, in a prominent place in our home. We are keeping her as comfortable as possible and spoiling her all that we can until we have the money for her to cross the rainbow bridge.

May your day be peaceful and full of positive everything!

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Behind-the-scenes discussions for research might ultimately boost your income. Pay attention! You might also dream up or hear from someone else about new and better ways to use something that you already own. Perhaps you can repurpose it or combine it with something?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be careful because it’s easy to become obsessed with things today. Or perhaps you can’t get a song out of your head, like “I Shot the Sheriff.” This quality will also make you persuasive with ideas that you value. You actually might have a strong effect on the thinking of others today.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You look positive, upbeat and successful to others today. Hey nonny nonny! You certainly don’t look like you’re involved with important deals going on behind the scenes, which is likely the case. Your ability to research things today is phenomenal. You’ll find what you’re looking for.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you want to get outta Dodge. Travel would be the perfect option. Meanwhile, very likely, you will encounter someone powerful who has a deep effect on you. Possibly, you are the powerful person having an influence on someone else? Could go either way.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures will be powerful, decisive and very much in your face. You want your way with something today. In fact, someone else might also be obsessed with a particular idea. Meanwhile, financial decisions will go your way today. (That’s nice.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Either you or someone else is coming on like gangbusters with their ideas and theories about politics, religion or racial issues. Someone is on a serious rant. You can listen – or not; because relations with partners, close friends and members of the general public are warm, upbeat and fun-loving. Take your pick.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today your mind is focused and one pointed (if not obsessed), which will allow you to get to the bottom of any anomalies or questions you have about taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances and insurance disputes. You will be unstoppable! But you will get to the bottom of things

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Conversations with partners and friends will probably surprise you today. You might begin by looking for the truth; but when you find the truth, it’s not what you expected. Or possibly, you will meet someone unusual and “different.” Romance is full of surprises.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something unexpected might take place at home today, especially if it is your place work. However, when it comes to your job, you will be focused in an intense way, especially if you are researching or trying to get to the truth of something. You will apply this same intensity to your health, as well.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Take things more lightly if you are involved in social occasions, or dealing with kids, or at sports events because you might go overboard with intense feelings or an intense purpose. What starts out as enthusiasm might get out of hand. Easy does it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Family discussions about financial matters, cash flow and possessions will be intense today because people are generally never casual about these subjects. Money and ownership always matter. Fortunately, whatever is finally decided will benefit you, your home, and your family.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Uranus, which makes you feel excited and eager for something to happen. You want some action! However, tread carefully because conversations with daily contacts, siblings and relatives might get intense and become more than you expected them to be. (Yikes!)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Comedian Bill Burr (1968) shares your birthday today. You love glamour, the arts and intense unions. You also love to schmooze and be active and in the thick of things. This is a year of change for you, which means you have to be courageous and stay flexible. Seek out new opportunities! Open any door!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that everyone around you has made a coalition and tries to convince you to grow up. Maybe you’ve had a tad too much fun lately and it’s time to take some responsibilities.

Or maybe those around you are a bit jealous of how good humored you are and are trying to bring you with your feet on the ground, in their sad reality.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Whether you like it or not you have to sometimes take responsibility for your actions. Today is going to be one of those days in which you will have to step in the light and either admit to some things or declare your convictions.

Be sure that if your arguments will reach the crowd you will be applauded and you will find some unexpected supporters.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It seems that today is time for you to make a stand for yourself or for a group you represent. Unfortunately it is not going to be one of those days in which you shine but more a day in which you will have to work hard for your success.

So prepare your speech and debate responsibly because this time you won’t be able to charm people right from the beginning.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today will reward your sensibility and your dedication to understanding the feelings of others. Maybe a friend of yours thanks you for your attention or someone else is recognizing your efforts.

Be sure this will have your head in the clouds and you won’t mind anything else for the way. It’s important for you to learn to be more self confident at times.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you should say a definite no to excesses and to try to resist any kind of temptation coming your way. This might imply you not acting all charming around people of the opposite sex, especially if you are already in a serious relationship.

Dress for the day and be all confident but also act with responsibility and diplomacy in every situation.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today will help you clarify an emotional dilemma you’ve had for some time and a certain event will help you see things from a different perspective.

The moment is also beneficial to continue a personal endeavor you’ve worked towards in the previous days. The only word of caution is for you not to dwell for too long in your emotions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This day will mark some sort of transition in your family life. Maybe things are finally starting to move towards a change you’ve all planned for some time now.

It’s a great time to move in a new home but also to welcome a new member of the family, be it a new born or a partner. In some cases there might be the need to set some rules and boundaries.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You know that when a door closes, a window opens. This might be the case for today. It might be easy for you to see which occasion has closed for you or which way is no longer viable but it is going to represent a real dilemma to discover which is the window that opens for you.

Take some time off and try to view things from afar.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You probably are already feeling some impulses in the direction of your studies. For some natives it might be peer pressure while for others it might be a sense of personal accomplishment calling them to expand their knowledge.

It’s a great time to enroll to such activities as long as you are sure you will have enough time for them in the future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is going to be quite an emotionally troubling day for you. Despite nothing being announced, some changes will provoke a storm of uncertainty and fury in your heart.

Maybe your plans will be turned upside down and disappointment will surface but there is not the case for you to be all upset. Try to find the bright side of things.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be feeling a bit stuck between your own wishes and those of your partner. On one hand you know exactly what you are expecting from yourself and which your plans are for the near future while on the other hand you would like to comply with the demands of your significant other.

Unless you tackle things directly it is going to be a difficult time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Despite the fact there is no imminent danger or important health conditions to worry you, maybe it would be the time for that annual check up.

You should act a lot more responsible when it comes to your health and to try to avoid excessive physical activities, especially in these cold months. Other then that, an uneventful day ahead for you.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Song for Today

I Am Pagan Lyrics and Video by Spiral Rhythm

I am pagan, and I’m proud
I am pagan, gonna shout it loud
I am pagan, want the world to know
That I follow the Goddess
and she rocks my soul

Don’t need your bible
I’ve got the wisdom of the crone
Don’t need your heaven
Into this life I’m reborn
No ten commandments
One fills the bill
An’ it harm none, do what you will

Don’t need your churches
The world’s my sacred space
Don’t need your angels
I’ve got fairies in their place
We raise the spirit
Most every night
When we dance the fire
in the pale moonlight

Well you take your path
And I’ll take mine
A little tolerance
And we’ll both be fine
Keep an open mind
It’ll set you free
And Goddess bless,
so mote it be

Are you pagan? Are you proud?
Are you pagan? Then shout it loud!
If you’re pagan,
let the whole world know
That you follow the Goddess
‘cause she rocks your soul

The Celtic Tree Calendar – following the lunar cycle

Celtic Tree Calendar information from ireland-calling.com

The Celtic Tree Calendar is based on the ogham alphabet and its association with trees.

It consists of 13 months, each 28 days long, following the lunar cycle, as Roman accounts have suggested the Druids did, with one extra day representing the 23rd December, the ‘Day of Creation’.

Each of the 13 months is represented by a tree together with its ogham letter.

Ogham, the mysterious language of the trees The Origins of the Ogham alphabet are still a mystery for many historians, but it is primarily thought to be an early form of the Irish written Language.

The calendar was conceived by the British poet and scholar Robert Graves. It was an idea put forward in his book The White Goddess, a historical grammar of poetic myth, first published in 1948.

The book focused on the mythology of Ireland, Britain, Europe and the Middle East, interpreting it in Grave’s individual and poetic style.

As historical accounts of ancient Druids are scarce, many of Graves’ ideas regarding the Celtic Tree Calendar were based on the works of Irish historian Ruaidhrí Ó Flaithbheartaigh, (Roderick O’Flaherty). Ó Flaithbheartaigh had published Ogygia in 1685, an elaborate history of Ireland that journeys back to the time of myths and legends and contains within it a chapter on understanding the ancient ogham alphabet.

Graves’ works may also have been influenced by the 14th century Book of Ballymote which contains a chapter on the ogham in which many varieties of the alphabet appear in the form of several diagrams thought to be used as secret codes.

Although the calendar is quite new in a historical sense, its influences lie within ancient Celtic mythology and folklore. It is a beautiful example of how modern spiritual beliefs and the customs of ancient times can be combined to form something enchanting.
