Today is the spring equinox; a time to invite balance and renewal to the mind, body, and spirit! The equinox also coincides with World Astrology Day. This is because the astrological new year begins with the spring equinox too. That’s why the first sign in the zodiac chart is Aries, a sign of spring.

The arrival of spring each year presents a new moon in Aries as an opportunity to start new projects. However, this year on April 8, we will experience a solar eclipse in Aries, which carries intense energies. Therefore, the next three days leading up to the final day of Ostara (23 March) are unmissable times to celebrate spring. By harnessing the energy spring equinox, we can positively enter the solar eclipse.

Borrow the Fire of Mars

By working with Mars and the fire element, we can consciously invite more motivation, action, and passion into our lives. This year, with the North Node in Aries, those who take action and are brave will win. You can consume plants that symbolize Mars, such as nettles, nettle, ginger, and marigold. Still, be sure to consult your doctor before consuming them.

Plant Seeds

Engaging in the act of planting seeds is not only a physical act of nurturing the earth but also a symbolic gesture of planting new intentions and dreams for the coming year. As you choose seeds for vegetables, fruits, or flowers, consider also planting seeds of personal growth, such as seeds of kindness, perseverance, and creativity. While you bury each seed in the soil, visualize your goals and desires taking root alongside them.

This act of gardening becomes a powerful metaphor for growth and renewal. Remember, every seed planted is a promise to the future, a step towards sustainability, and a contribution to the beauty of our planet. Consider companion planting to foster a supportive community of plants that thrive together, mirroring the relationships you wish to cultivate in your life.

Exercise Getting

Moving is very important as the stagnant winter months can lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body, which can cause diseases. Moving before eclipses is the perfect way to protect the body by cleansing the lymphatic system. You can take a spring walk among the awakening nature. You can start your days with yoga. Another option is a lymphatic drainage massage.

To get rid of toxins, you can also consume enemies of toxins like fava beans and artichokes. Additionally, you can add a spoonful of organic vinegar to the water you drink every morning.

Light a Candle

Lighting a candle is a simple yet profound act of inviting warmth, light, and energy into your space. Choose fresh scents that remind you of spring, like orange, bergamot, and lemon. These scents bring happiness and lift the mood. As you light the candle, take a moment to set an intention or make a wish for the season ahead.

The flame symbolizes transformation—turning the dark, cold winter into the bright, blooming spring. Use this time to meditate or reflect on the changes you wish to see in yourself and your environment. Lighting a candle can also create a sacred space for journaling, yoga, or simply enjoying a moment of peace and mindfulness.

Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is more than just a household chore; it’s a ritual that marks the transition from winter to spring, clearing out the old to make room for the new. As you declutter and clean your living space, consider also decluttering your mind and spirit. Create a checklist that includes not only physical tasks like washing windows and organizing closets but also mental and emotional tasks like letting go of past grievances and setting positive intentions.

The day of the spring equinox is the perfect time for it. Yet, you can still have time til March 23. Dont forget to use natural cleaning products, such as vinegar, lemon, and baking soda, to cleanse your home in an eco-friendly way. This process can be incredibly therapeutic, symbolizing a fresh start and renewed energy for the coming months.

However, you can spring clean your body, mind and soul. Check out this article for the details of this kind of a thorough spring cleaning.

Healing With Sound 

Until the solar eclipse on April 8, you can listen to the Gayatri or Moon Mantra.

Incorporating sound healing practices can be as simple as dedicating a few moments each day to listen to these mantras, allowing their vibrations to permeate your being. Over time, you may notice a profound shift in your consciousness,
