Blessed Ostara!

Happy Spring Equinox! Aries season! Ostara is here in the Northern Hemisphere! I actually heard birds returning from migration and rabbits this week.

A gentle reminder about a new energy ‘waking up’ as we move towards sunnier times. Days are getting longer and warmer. Grass is growing and getting greener everyday, leaves and buds appearing on once bare tree branches. Thinking about the summer garden. What do i want grow? What would i like to harvest later this year? A fun way to mark the season would be to plant some seeds this week with your intentions of what you would like to manifest between now and the Autumn Equinox.

This is the time of year when shake off the quieter and reflective and move into action and direction. Equinoxes are about balance and shifts. In theory, on the equinox there is equal day and night hours as make the shift from one season to another. In this season we move from quiet, contemplative, dreamy night-filled season to growing and nurturing, energising, active times. Perhaps there were plans on the burner you have been thinking about that now you’d like to put into action? Maybe you did some shadow and healing work over the winter and now you are ready to step out into the world again? Or possibly the colder, darker months make you want to burrow inside and this new seasonal energy lifts your mood and give you a much needed boost? There is an opening with Spring, an air of possibility and hope rings. Working with this energy can be motivating and uplifting!

And remembering that it’s also a celebration! That could be a meditative practice, an intentional activity, or a gathering with feasting and activity. Hope you are able to celebrate whether it’s a quiet ritual at home alone or out with friends and family.

Many Blessings!
