It is a shame that people born under the rule of Alder are so rare. If there were more of them, the world would certainly be a better place. Alder people are exceptionally balanced, calm and kind. They bring peace and relaxing atmosphere wherever they come; they are able to control themselves very well and they can pass through life without raising their voice. They have tremendous patience and helping others is a natural thing to them. Although Alder people are always ready to help others, they never let people take advantage of them.

People born under the rule of alder tree honour privacy and personal freedom of other people. They tend to be extremely discreet and it is possible that other people will get the impression that they are not paying attention or they do not care. Alder people see everything around them from a different perspective and they do everything with a motto “everything goes better with a smile”.

Alder people care deeply about education and culture. They also love music, especially classical music. They feel very well in the company of intelligent and educated people. They usually have higher education, because they are good students. These reflective, often very discreet people, also love books and are not only avid readers, they are often proud owners of a vast number of various books.

In their love life, they are usually very pleasant partners who love selflessly and with all their heart. They are sometimes unusually tolerant because their respect for personal freedom of other people is so great. That is the reason why they may even tolerate adultery of their partner, which causes them great pain, but it is not a reason for breaking up for them. People born under the rule of Alder are never aggressive, they never try to achieve anything by violence and they do not tolerate violent behaviour. However, it is surprising that they never get into conflicts, maybe because of their innate authority and dignity.

In the southern regions, alder was replaced by olive tree, which is the symbol of happiness and well-being. Olive tree is a very slow growing tree that does not require rich soils, but it needs a lot of light.
