Solar Rhythm: Spring Equinox - Lunar Rhythm: Aries New Moon

This year the Spring Equinox happens on March 20 & the New Moon in Aries on March 21. When you consider both 3 day window's March 20 is a potent day for both the Equinox and the New Moon making it a power point for planting the intentions you want to grow in the weeks ahead! Spring Equinox and the Sun Moves into Aries

Spring Equinox and the Aries sun burst forth with the exuberance of the young, playful, and new. It’s time for a fresh energetic start. Things start really heating up here as the sun brings the active growing cycle, so get ready to actively plant your garden and your desires.

Fire, the action realm of energy and light, provides the life force that warms the earth and the crops for growth. It creates the excitement and passion for any endeavor and provides the spark needed to activate desire. As the solar force, it shows its yin/yang expression in the turning of day into night and night into day. The sun teaches you to balance your active, outward moving, daylight energy with the cool, restful, and reflective energy of the evening.

Since the equinox represents a time when the light and dark exist in sacred balance, it provides you with an opportunity to tune into the balance of your life. Here you can evaluate things that may need your attention in order to come into greater harmony and alignment. Do you need to balance anything in your life to more effectively bring your desires into being? Perhaps you need to balance your active outer world actions with more quiet restful energy or balance your time indoors with more time spent in nature. You can simply ask internally what within you needs to be balanced at this time.

This Wheel of the Year point is named after the Earth Goddess Ostara, or Eostar. Since rabbits and eggs were sacred symbols of the fertile Goddesses, you see these used in many Spring Equinox celebrations. If you feel inspired, decorate your altar with these images and fresh spring flowers, and connect to the fertile aliveness they bring.

Choose the one or two ideas you need most to work with, then focus on those. Intentions function best when there are only one or two to concentrate on in any cycle.

Personal Action Suggestions for Spring Equinox:

Elemental Guidance:

If you have an Elemental Forces of Creation Oracle, you may want to draw cards for additional guidance from each element and/or add insight from other decks.

Give thanks to Earth and ask “What is my activation message for this growing cycle?”

Give thanks to Water and ask “What is my activation message for this growing cycle?”

Give thanks to Air and ask “ What is my activation message for this growing cycle?”

Give thanks to Fire and ask “What is my activation message for this growing cycle?”

Give thanks to Spirit and ask “What is my activation message for this growing cycle?”

Now ask the unified field of all of the elements and Spirit for a unified message about activating your creations. These are the cards I drew on behalf of the collective. Tune into the ways the energies impact how you move through Mass Consciousness.

Aries New Moon - Fire

This new moon says take action NOW. Pay attention to where in life you need some fuel for growth and apply the action energy of Aries. Walk, run, or dance – just move. Get outside and play. Use the energy you generate to take aligned action on your intentions.

Tune into Aries during the new moon window and ask what needs to be done that maybe you haven’t thought of yet. Take time to fire up anything in your life that needs extra energy. Make decisions and then take action.

Also notice with Aries if there is any place your fire needs to be contained or balanced. Are you running over people? Burning yourself out? Is there any place you are out of control? What do you need to do to balance fire effectively in your life right now?

In terms of your creations, the most powerful action you can take during the new moon in Aries is to do what needs to be done as quickly as possible. Take action! Energize your intentions. This is a very potent time to start something new or get an area of your life or business revved up.
