Southern maple (cedar), catalpa and sycamore. Trees of the North Caucasus. Druid horoscope - South frame (stone wood)
On home page on our website, in the rubricator, following the title, the number of articles for each heading is shown in brackets. In the “Plants” section there are not enough articles against the general background, so I decided to correct this shortcoming.
I didn’t want to take any plant and describe it somehow. It’s not interesting to me, and most likely to the reader, too. Let's talk about plants flower horoscope- there is already something here. And in terms of volume it looks attractive, the horoscope cycle is a whole year. “For company”, together with the floral one, I also took up the Celtic theme, the symbols of which are trees.
Everything went according to plan until February came. The widely known Druid horoscope states that on the ninth of February the action of the southern sign of Kartas begins. What kind of card is this? I've never heard of such a plant.
The omnipresent Mr. Google will help me, I decided. But that was not the case. The search engine offered various LLCs and Black Sea Fleet, but most of all links to various sites reprinting the contents of the Druid horoscope from each other. And everywhere - kartas and kartas. Spreading, powerful... Well, further in the text.
Some sites indicated the name of the sign in brackets as Southern Kartas (cedar). Others indicated pyramidal poplar in parentheses. What the hell is this? The fact that the ancient Celts could give well-known trees their own names is not at all surprising. But why are the same trees called differently today? After all, it’s a no brainer that cedar and poplar of any kind have as little in common as a cat and a dog.
I tried entering Latin characters into the search engine - no effect. Unless there are links to various maps in the language of the Baltic states. Then I decided to decline the map, and then Google smiled and sent me to the dendrologist forum, whose visitors were also looking for the map and, like me, did not find it. I was even happy, the first success: the tree is not known to professionals.
What then are we talking about? What tree is hiding behind an unknown name? Cedar? But let's look at the map of the Celts' habitat. They came into contact with cedar for a short time on the scale of their civilization and only in Asia Minor, in limited territories. It is unlikely that a little-known tree could even be included in the horoscope.
Before we figure it out, let's clarify where the Gallic horoscope came from? It is generally accepted that he aided the predictions of the ancient Druids. So it may be so, but how do we know this? In what library can one find a fundamental tome in which an unknown scribe, from the words of a gray-haired sorcerer, listed all the nuances of the horoscope known to any civilized Celt? That's right, there is no such library, and there is no such horoscope.
So what happens, a complete hoax? Let's not rush to conclusions. The Druids lived a very long time ago; few documents have been preserved since then. In addition, a coherent system might not have existed at all, which does not deny the cult of tree worship.
Until about the middle of the last century, the Gallic horoscope was not known to the general public. In 1948, Robert Graves, a failed historian and remarkable poet and prose writer, published his most important book, The White Goddess, a study of ancient religions and myths filtered through rich poetic imagination.
Venerable astrologers today scold Graves in every possible way, but do not deny that he did use really existing sources. Mainly records of “regular” bards who sang the exploits of their native Celtic clans.
The mythological basis on which Graves built his “Goddess” interested not only the “dense layers of the population”, but also other researchers, including the author of “Astrologie Gauloise” Edgar Bliss. It was Bliss who introduced the cyclicality and signs of the Druid horoscope to the general public, which have become widespread in our time.
What do we see from Bliss? "February 9 - 18: Nettle-tree." Nettle-tree - nettle tree? Another mystery? I ask Google for advice, and everything falls into place. Latin name Celtis australis, Russian - Southern carcass. A relative of the elm, which the Brockhaus and Efron encyclopedia calls a stone or iron tree.
One can only wonder. Of course, a typo is possible. But how did it become so widely established and generally accepted that they began to “adjust” the native flora to it? Incredible but true. Well, I’ll tell you about the “correct” one a little later.
Most horoscopes mistakenly call this tree "Kartas". However, it is correct to say South frame, aka stone tree.
Frame (lat. Celtis) - a genus of deciduous, less commonly evergreen trees. About 50 species of this tree grow in the tropics and arid regions of the temperate zone of the western and eastern hemispheres. Many species have an edible fruit - a small bony fruit with dryish but sweet pulp.

Proud, proud, straightforward, and at the same time an incorrigible optimist, which often leads to careless actions both in business and in personal life. Has a nature prone to excesses. With apparent independence, he is inclined to succumb to outside influence. Guided with an experienced hand, can become a weapon of someone else's will. He devotes his soul and body to the cause that he himself has chosen, so among the Frameworks there are many heroes, but there are also many martyrs.
Subject to the influence of others, he himself also has the ability to influence others. Has a motivating effect on others. He is very persistent and is one of those who are always right.

KARTAS SOUTHERN*
09.02-18.02; 14.08-23.08
Its trunk is spreading, with a powerful crown, slender, very solid, beautiful, it inspires others with a feeling of reliability and peace.
Main character traits: impulsiveness, optimism, intelligence, ability for deductive thinking. A person born under this sign certainly has excellent health and is constantly replenished from nowhere, strength and energy. Katras feels at home and at ease in any environment; without knowing what the feeling of timidity is. Without much difficulty he can find the right path in almost all kinds of conditions, even very confusing ones. He dreams only of his own comforts, but if something happens he can easily spend the night at a train station, right on a bench, at a bus stop, or right in the open air.
Human qualities. Unaware of the dangers and little foreseeing the development of the situation, Kartas has the gift of getting involved in the most unexpected situations. Fortunately, he knows how to get out of them just as easily. Proud, ambitious, straightforward and at the same time an incorrigible optimist, thanks to which he can be very careless, both at work and in his personal life. By nature he is prone to extremes. Although seemingly independent, he is susceptible to influence. It happens that someone guided by a deft hand becomes an instrument in the wrong hands. With soul and body he devotes himself to the work that he himself has chosen. People like him often become heroes, but often they also become martyrs.
Appearance. Kartas are divided into two types of people, one of whom is very careful about his own appearance, and the other type - completely ignores what he is wearing, since he is completely immersed in his own world.
Manners. Kartas, more often than anyone else, likes to amaze with his eccentric actions, which can take by surprise almost everyone who is not ready for this shock therapy. If he wants, he can easily become the center of attention of even an entire stadium filled with people.
Personal life. Impressive, sensitive, sentimental, capable of falling in love forever, because he deeply perceives love with a capital letter. Other attachments are interpreted as a pleasant, unimportant way to spend time. Katras can, without hesitation, make almost any, even very strange, donations or even sacrifices in order to achieve the most cherished and so cherished goal
Inner world. Kartas knows no danger; he cannot be completely prudent, possessing a certain gift, the ability to get involved in twisted and unforeseen situations. Maybe luckily Kartas is an optimist. And this can often lead him to commit careless acts and ill-considered actions, both in business and in personal life.
His inner nature is most likely a tendency towards eccentricity, self-flagellation and, sadly, excesses. In his apparent independence, he is most inclined to influence factors and people from outside in his life. Being under alien influences, he himself possesses a certain mysterious ability to exert some kind of both obvious and hidden influence on others. He can exert something on those around him that stimulates his sacred influence. Persistent, he belongs to those who can call themselves right-wing thinkers, that is, those who always, constantly consider themselves right in everything. The sensitivity and receptivity of Catras, a kind of light, half-airy sentimentalism - can become attached to his Self forever, which will turn into love, which everyone will perceive only with great, i.e. capital letter. The rest of the Katras touch is perceived as pleasant and devoid of of great importance a way of spending empty or wasted free time. He treats the business he has chosen with both soul and body, completely immersing himself in it headlong. It is because of this that among the Kartas, so to speak, there are many real, non-fictional heroes, but there are many martyrs and... Saints with ordinary saints. Intelligence is for Katras only the ability to synthetically, remix the perception of certain problems in the midst of which he is at the moment. The amazing speed of this tree's thinking to sometimes accept difficult decisions, amazes with the magnetism with which he - Katras, comes to grips with the essence of the problem or situation.
Professional qualities. The hero of adventure novels, a real knight of cloak and dagger - Katras usually leads an active, varied labor activity, however, which may be quite earthly, not heroic. By succumbing to influences, he himself can exert his influence on those around him, and often acts in an inspiring way. At the same time, he is stubborn and belongs to those who are always right. It is believed that he is the one who makes decisions in the teams where he works, and utters the last, most significant word. The dynamics and excessive confidence of Kartas forces almost all other trees from the Druid horoscope to take him into account, but he is very sensitive, moreover, sensitive to jokes about his person; takes all reproaches and injections seriously. He can brilliantly and with real talent solve the most complex issues in almost any field of activity, despite his passions and side desires. If someone directs Kartas to life path, then it can become a tool in the wrong hands. Sometimes this sign is a real artist, but as a rule, somewhere in the field of music or simply musical affairs, if he himself is not going to play anything.
Born under the sign of Kartas: Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, Todeusz Kosciuszko, Goethe, Bertolt Brecht.
