After the long, cold days of winter, the arrival of spring is a very welcome thing.
Spring officially begins with the vernal equinox, but as the day approaches, some locations can experience significant swings between warm days and wintery weather.
But one thing is certain: in spring, or the vernal equinox, the power of the sun’s light is closer and a renewal is felt both in the life forces within the Earth’s hemisphere and in humanity.
The arrival of spring is fast approaching. Of course, if you’re reading this now and we’re actually heading into fall, there’s a whole different energy. Click here! >>
Spring: A strong impetus for growth
In the springMother Earth’s powers of growth, vitality and fertility will increase in both hemispheres. A powerful urge to grow It all adds up to a beautiful display of the budding life.
On the Vernal Equinox, the Earth is filled with the possibility of new life, entering a time of abundance and rebirth.
The Vernal Equinox is also the final seasonal festival during the dark half of the year in the annual cycle of the Wheel of Year.
Spring, or the vernal equinox, marks the beginning of the lighter half of the year, when the days get longer and warmer and the sun’s power shines brightly.
Restoration of Light
The return of light is one of the main themes of the spring equinox. The increased power of the sun brings with it an incredible regenerative impulse. There is also a connection to the power of resurrection, Easter, and the solar Christ light, but that may be a topic for another post.
At this point I would like to point out that the renewal of light through the Sun occurs on both the physical and etheric levels.
The sun Ethereal Life Force The Sun in the Earth’s hemisphere regenerates humanity and brings a renewal of power to the forces of nature and the many elemental beings that help to manifest the Divine in physical form.

The vernal equinox when day and night are equal
The vernal equinox is a time of relative balance when the lengths of day and night reach a perfect equilibrium.
The word “vernal equinox” itself indicates that this is a time of balance. Equus It means equal, Knox It means night.
This balance unfolds on many levels, Living a more joyful, creative, loving, high-vibration life in the modern age Personal Experience.

5 Vernal Equinox Rituals for a Fresh Start
In my opinion, ritual is anything we do with the intention of reconnecting with the sacred, whether through words, actions, or more formal ceremony.
I personally tend to keep my rituals simple – I love to contemplate the changing of the seasons and observe the power of acceptance, renewal, fertility and the Christed Light of the Sun.
Here are some ritual ideas to help you observe, connect, and align with the sacredness of spring.
1. Observe signs of spring
Whether it feels right for you or not, get outside and spend time in nature, enjoy the changing seasons, and think about the signs of spring where you live.
This might be as simple as taking a walk around your neighborhood, looking for and noticing the various signs of spring and observing the push-and-pull dynamics between spring and winter. Look for things that are budding and growing. Can you see buds on the trees? Are there any early-blooming wildflowers where you are?
If it is warm and sunny where you live on the equinox, you could take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the grass to ground your energy, or sit in sunlight and meditate, consciously bringing in the replenishing light of the sunlight and its etheric energy.
No matter the weather, windy, raining, snowy or sunny… I will definitely go hiking on the Spring Equinox to respect the seasons, observe the changes in nature, enjoy the changing flavors of the magic of the forest and celebrate life in my favorite way: by simply being in nature.

2. Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning is a simple ritual that has stood the test of time and has been practiced by people as part of spring festivals for centuries.
The increased sunlight is when the dust, clutter, and cobwebs that have accumulated in your space (or mind or body) over the winter will naturally emerge.
Cleaning may not be a very fun or ritualistic experience for you, but remember… It really depends on the intention Behind it!
On the Spring Equinox, set your intention to clear old, negative and distorted energy from your home, your mind, your energy field and your life.
It’s the perfect time to get organized (Hello Marie Condo

Know that by cleaning your space and clearing out the old, you are allowing a new supply of fresh light and joyful energy to fill your mind, body and spirit in the new season.
Out with the old and in with the new!
3. Revisit your goals
The most fertile season of the year is upon us, so join in the celebration with nature. growth As we approach the summer solstice, we can get clear on where we want to grow, level up, and change in the coming season so that we can welcome new life around the spring equinox.
When I talk to people about their goals, I often hear I really don’t know what they want!
If so, take some time on the spring equinox to write down what is and isn’t going well in your life.
Write down the things that you care about and your ideas and plans for what you want to achieve, create, or change.
Remember that this is a time of rebirth and renewal, and the energies of spring create a wonderful opportunity to refocus your intentions.
Get clear on what you truly value and what is most important to you right now, and write down your affirmations, goals and intentions for the bright new energy and possibilities you are trying to summon into your life.
You could also write out a sort of spring bucket list with ideas and intentions for what you want to do, experience, and enjoy between now and the summer solstice.
4. Decorate for spring!
The first day of spring is the perfect time to refresh your altar and home decor in a symbolic way that welcomes the fresh new energy of spring.
Symbol of Spring Here are some ideas to incorporate into your home decor and get some inspiration:
March Hare/White rabbit, bird, pastel colors, spring birds, candles and flowers, colorful eggs, daffodils, flowers, live plants.
Fresh flowers and plants Its vibrant life force energy and presence makes it an especially powerful symbol for welcoming spring.
Celebrate with new houseplantsTake a moment to focus your mind on the plant’s subtle life force energy and ability to grow.
Of course, it’s up to you how simply or elaborately you want to decorate your space. You could focus your spring decor in one area, create a spring altar, or completely refresh and brighten your entire home.
Notes: You don’t have to. Buy a lot of things So, craft, reuse, refresh, upcycle, get inspired by nature and see how it’s decorating for spring.
Build a Spring Altar
A spring altar makes a wonderful focal point to celebrate the upcoming season. I have a mantel over my fireplace that I have turned into a joyous seasonal altar that I love to decorate.
The act of preparing your altar for spring, replacing winter elements and embracing the fresh new energy that spring brings, is a joyful sacred ritual that really brings you into the present, aligns you with the new energies, and creates beautiful tangible reminders of the season in your space.
5. Plant the seeds
We’ve already talked about planting the seeds of intention this spring by refocusing on your goals.
Now, Planting actual seeds to celebrate In the same way.
Seeds are amazing! Seeds are literally capsules of life force energy waiting for the right conditions to sprout into life.
Depending on your garden zone, planting seeds on the spring equinox can be an indoor or outdoor activity.
In any case I highly recommend Connecting with the magical growth power of spring And it is the urge to give birth to new life by planting seeds.
Plant seeds and start your garden Seed sowing tray Get started now, or if you’re planning on growing outdoors, grow some early varieties of greens, radishes, and snap peas in your garden.
Or you could start some seeds in recycled containers like small cardboard boxes or egg cartons to grow mustard or arugula leaves on your kitchen windowsill, or plant a few seeds in half an eggshell to place on your spring altar.
Sprouted microgreens Another fun and very easy way to get in touch with the life force energy of spring through seeds.
Taking cuttings from beloved houseplants to propagate new plants could be a fun additional activity to your spring seed sowing.
Celebrate in a way that feels fun to you!
How you celebrate is up to you, so do what feels right for you. Spring is a season to celebrate the return of light and the increased vitality of nature. Not only do spring flowers and plants delight and inspire us, but now is the time to cultivate a renewed sense of warmth, light and well-being.
Simply observing and tuning into the pace of nature and the powerful, creative, magical life force that the Earth has bestowed upon us can bring incredible joy.
As we celebrate the beauty of this moment, we know that soon the year will come full circle and we will celebrate the Autumn Equinox and then the Winter Solstice again.
The unique beauty and magic of the season is temporary…meaning now is the time to enjoy and celebrate the many blessings that spring brings.
With love and bright blessings
