The beech is one of the most dominant deciduous trees in northern Europe and its fallen leaves form a copper-colored carpet throughout many autumn woodlands.  The beechnuts that fall at this time of the year were important for feeding livestock during the winter.  Accordingly, the beech was widely venerated at autumn time. 

Those born in the Beech sign are forthright and astute; they have inquiring and probing minds and are remarkably self-disciplined. However, they sometimes tend to disregard the ideas and feelings of others and act thoughtlessly.  Nevertheless, they are honest and few will find the Beech person conniving or underhand.  Those born in this sign make excellent problem solvers.
