March 18 - April 14

Now is the time for stillness and reflection, to clarify your dreams, review past truimphs and challenges and listen to your inner guidance. Do not be afraid of inaction; instead, use this period to renew your energy and plan ahead. 

In Welsh mythology, the alder fought in the front line of the "Battle of the Trees" against the Underworld. When cut, its wood turns from white to red as though it is bleeding. Growing near water, the tree has feminine associations, yet its links to war also indicate masculinity. The alder, therefore, speaks of balancing masculine and feminine.

The alder was part of the legendary battalion of trees that fought against dark forces.
