Tips and Tricks for Finding Celeste and Getting Zodiac DIY Recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Who is Celeste?
Nintendo LifeFirst introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World, Celeste has always had a fascination with constellations. With the introduction of crafting in New Horizons, she’s now providing players with star and zodiac-themed recipes – as well as a significant amount of celestial counsel, if requested.
Where and when can you find Celeste?
Celeste will only appear on your island between the hours of 7pm and 4am – and only on clear nights, when there’s a chance of a meteor shower. Note: a meteor shower does not necessarily need to be announced by Isabelle that morning in order for Celeste to arrive in the evening, but it will increase the odds.
If a friend happens to have Celeste visiting their island on a given night, you may also visit them and speak to her for a recipe of your own – however, you can only receive one recipe from her per day. So, if you happen to run into her on multiple islands, there is a limit to her generosity.
Below is a chart showing percentages of meteor shower occurrences, by dates of the year, according to the official game handbook:
| Dates | Chance of Meteor Showers |
| January 5th – February 23rd | 4% |
| February 24th | 2% |
| February 25th – March 31st | 4% |
| April 1st – April 10th | 0% |
| April 11th – June 15th | 1% |
| June 16th – July 5th | 0% |
| July 6th – July 31st | 2% |

What does Celeste give you?
The first time you meet Celeste, she’ll bestow upon you a Star Wand recipe – the most iconic of the wands. After the first encounter, she’ll continue giving you one recipe each time she visits – with a different Zodiac-themed piece of furniture every month.
If you find and speak to Celeste again within the same month, and she has already given you that month’s Zodiac recipe, she will subsequently provide you with recipes for other star-related items, wands, zodiac fragments or star fragments.
