BIRCH: B – Beith – Cleansing, New Beginnings

If your Birthdate is between May 1 - 28th this divines you.

1st Lunation - New Moon Phase

Birch is concerned with beauty and harmonious sharing. It encourages us to see beauty as a permanent perception of reality, rather than fleeting glimpses that we then crave to regain - and which cause a sense of division and separation. It is a pioneer tree that will provide support for many other forms of life and to which it eventually gives way, its shares of itself with grace.
