The elder is a very adaptable tree, quite able to regenerate itself in many ways. It can be rooted from a branch and regrows limbs quickly, allowing it to recover from the damage of both natural and unnatural assailants with equal ease. Born under the elder sign, then, you, too are able to live and prosper under and conditions. You will live many "live" during your time here, and will carry those memories into every new venture. Think of yourself as a gypsy and a student, collecting experience and knowledge so you may eventually become a great teacher.
