20-23rd September Southern Hemisphere
20-23rd March Northern Hemisphere
As the Earth awakens from her winter nap, signs of new life are everywhere; new leaves are sprouting, birds are gathering materials for their nests, the days are getting warmer and longer.
When daylight and darkness have reached a point of equal length, this marks the Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara, Eostre and the Vernal Equinox.
This festival is believed to have originated as early as 3000BC, Ostara marked the beginning of the agricultural year when preparation and planting of crops would begin.
This is a time of harmony, balance, fertility, new beginnings and new life.
Consider what you would like to create in your life over the coming year and what you need to let go of in order to create space for the new.
