The major spiritual event in March is the Spring Equinox, one of two times in the year that day and night are equal in length. At this time the days are getting longer, the land is being readied for planting, and the first leaves are peeking out of the soil. In many traditions, this Equinox was considered the start of the year, celebrated with symbols that are still familiar to us today.
March is an interesting month. In numerology it’s about stability, but one must remember that numerology is on a continuum that goes from highest evolved to lowest. I find it ironic that the bombing of Iran began on the first day of the month that numerologically is about stability.
I hope that you carve out some time this month for spiritual spring cleaning and for deciding what is in your best interest to clear out and to find new and exciting things you want to add to your life.
Cosmically, the energy is here for change, so don’t procrastinate!
Spring Equinox meaning and rituals
In many ancient cultures, the Spring Equinox was considered the beginning of the new year and a time of great celebration, full of hope and optimism.
The Pagan community today still celebrates Ostara, named after the Anglo-Saxon Goddess Eostre. Over the centuries the main symbols of Ostara celebration have been used by Christians to celebrate Easter: eggs for fertility, flowers for the awakening of nature, and rabbits for abundance.
Traditionally, the house is given a spring cleaning to clear away the old and make room for the new.
Take the time this this Spring Equinox to pause and evaluate your life.
What do you want to renew?
What is in your highest good to release?
How do you want to move forward?
Celebrate! Renew! Rejoice!
