- Mar 19
On March 20, 2026, at 10:46 a.m. EDT, we will experience the Spring vernal equinox (Ostara). The Spring equinox is when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are equal lengths--the balance of light and dark.
Spring brings with it the promise of a fresh start and renewal. Our world and our lives begin to shed their wintery blanket and light shines forth.
Eventually, sprouts will begin to push their way through the soil, trees will bud, the grass will green, snowflakes transform to raindrops and there is the promise of flowers, colour, new life, etc.
Even without the telltale signs of nature, we know in our heart renewal is coming. Beyond these internal feeling, in a more intangible way, we see the change in the shadows, we feel it in the air, we hear it in nature and smell it in the wind, if we take the time to focus on these things.
Along with this new life springing forth in nature, there is the ability to have fresh starts in our own lives. Follow the example of nature. This is a time of renewed vigor, an awakening if you will. This can draw us nearer to the promise of warmth and sunshine in our hearts and souls, not just in nature. We can mirror and utilize the energy brought on through the change of the season to stimulate and push us in our pursuits, new or old.
A new beginning is at hand with the promise of personal growth depending on the seeds we now sow.
This is the time to renew our motivation, to push ahead and find outlets that can help us renew our commitment to ourselves for further growth, expansion, and evolution.
Springs seems to afford us the energy to move ahead more willingly in our endeavors, particularly those that we had allowed (as we should) to sleep during the winter.
We have hopefully done our shadow work over the winter, looking into our own personal shadows to understand self more clearly. Now we can shine our light brightly in these corners due to our understanding. Replace the darkness with light and hope.
This renewed vigor can propel us into new-found areas that may not have been available throughout the winter. It is truly up to us what we plan to do with this energy and whether we utilize it or whether we allow it to slip on by.
Mirror the season and take advantage of the energies at hand. Move ahead into the new. Reach beyond any limits. Step out of the shadows. The only thing holding us back is us. We are our own motivation or our own stagnation. Growth and advancement are a choice.
What can be accomplished with these energies? Nature is offering us something fresh and new to focus on. Nature is providing us with hope and renewal. It's Spring! Plant seeds of promise and nurture them!
