What does Baobab mean in African astrology?

The Baobab is the first sign of African astrology. It is characterized by its strength, size, and robustness. Luck and self-confidence are also essential aspects of its personality.

The Baobab is a sacred symbol in the African culture. Indeed, it is also a palaver tree, that is to say at the foot of which, traditionally, where the inhabitants of the village met to express their opinions on their problems within the community.

What are people born under Baobab like? - Fiery and temperamental

Just like this massive tree, they have their feet firmly planted in the ground, which is why they are said to be pragmatic. The Baobab also symbolizes balance, in fact their lives are well-structured thanks to their values and their capacity for reflection.

Baobab folks know how to impress, but when they feel confident, they unleash their jovial and tangy side. They have a positive effect on their loved ones, who feel protected and serene when they are near them. However, even the most imposing trees have their flaws... Underneath their great airs, they are sensitive to stress and have difficulty channeling themselves. They must take time to breathe and practice meditation to better control their emotions.
