Confidence, quick wit, intelligence, charm.

The real tree

  • Cedrus libani
  • Family Pinaceae

A conifer of the mountains of Lebanon, conical when young, then spread in tiers.

And in the ogham?

No. The cedar is not among the letters of the ogham, the alphabet of early Ireland from which Robert Graves drew his tree calendar: like ten other trees of the horoscope, it was added later.

Dates: majority version of four published tables. Traits: those the tree horoscope lends (Gerbeaud). Botany: Wikipedia and Wikidata. Ogham: Wikipedia (after McManus and the Auraicept na n-Éces).
