Embrace the Power of the Spring Equinox

One of the most powerful days of the year!

Tomorrow, March 19, 2025 is the Spring Equinox. It is one of two moments in the entire year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and the day is equally as long as is the night. That is what it is astronomically, but symbolically it is so much more. Also known as the vernal equinox, it is it a time of balance of day light and darkness symbolizing balance and a time of renewal and rebirth. Spring is officially here and there is a something delightful about the green buds we see on the bare tree branches and the little bursts of green that are popping up through the damp soil.

Nature is awakening around us! You can sense the tender rebirth of life in all forms just starting to peek out at the world. Spring means a fresh start and new beginnings. It was a powerful, magical time for the Ancients and it can be that for each of us too. Let's set the intention for new beginnings by planting seeds now that can blossom into dreams coming true.

As we come out of the cold winter, when it seemed so much was closed down, dark and distant, we can now take a fresh breath and look at life from a new perspective. Planting seeds on the first day of Spring can be your invitation to new beginnings.

Plant greenery and flowers. Planting flowers and herbs can be symbolic of the dreams you want to manifest. As you plant each seed, let each one represent a new intention of what you want to grow in this burgeoning new year. Just as a seed contains the blueprint for a fully grown plant, we are each like a seed holding potential for transformation, and the realization of all of our goals and dreams. Even in the smallest and most hidden parts of ourselves, there is the potential for greatness and an opportunity for beauty to emerge.

Surround yourself with greenery and colorful flowers. Each plant is a living consciousness that can open your heart and awaken your senses, enhancing your connection to nature. Studies have shown that flowers significantly affect your mood and can trigger positive emotions. Some of your best memories are associated with flowers such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and wishes for good health.

Use the power of the Equinox, to manifest your goals and dreams. The Equinox has been revered by ancient culetures and civilizations as a powerful sacred event for thousands of years. You too can use this powerful time to let go of past limitations, open to new possiblities and receive the bounty of life that is available to us all.

Here is a Ritual for Spring Balance and Manifestation.

1. Quiet and declutter your space. Open windows to let in the fresh air and light a candle to invite divine energy.

Now quiet your mind, by sitting still with your eyes closed. Notice the aliveness of the earth around you. Listen. Sense and feel.

2. Still with your eyes closed, imagine you are in a deep, verdant forest rich with life. You can hear the sounds of birds in the distance and the muffled sound of falling water. Imagine there is a giant waterfall spilling into a beautiful blue lagoon. You can sense all the magical nature creatures in this space, the faeries and elves, the sprites and undines.

3. Imagine you drop all of your clothing to the ground and walk to the waterfall. You step under the falling water which is surprisingly warm and gentle as it falls. Imagine it is washing away all of your doubts, limitations and resistances. Feel the joy of anticipation, knowing that you can and will manifest all of your desires this year.

4. When you step out from the falling water, you notice a beautiful white robe laying on a boulder near where you are standing. You reach over for the robe and gently wrap yourself within its folds of soft, clean fabric. You reach into the pocket and find 5 large seeds. Each seed represents something that you want in your life by way of love, success, abundance, health and spiritual connection.

5. The soli near the waterfall is soft and moist. Imagine that you bend over and dig small holes for each of the five seeds in the soft rich soil. Then you gently place one seed in each hole. As you place each seed, you set the intention for what you want saying something like this:

"As I plant this seed of love into the fertile ground, I ask that it take root and grow healthy and strong. May it grow to be fruitful and continue to multiply into a harvest of great joy." With your eyes still closed imagine the love you seek and feel how good it feels. Feel the joy, the love, the wonder and gratitude.

Do this same ritual for each of the remaining seeds.

6. After all five of the seeds are planted, thank the waterfall for its gentle cleanse. Thank the forest for its wonder and peace. Thank all the faeries and nature creatures for their gifts of magic.

7. Then step back out of this beautiful forest. Come back into the room where you started, knowing that the seeds are now planted and you can sit back and relax knowing that each one will grow and bring you the great bounty you desire!

So must it be!

God bless you and may all your dreams comes true . . . .
