The Bobcats are back from break, and the birds are chirping songs of spring. This week, the spring equinox and a new moon conduct spiritual renewal for the signs.
On March 18, a new moon in Pisces asks us to dig through the guilt residing inside of us. During this time, avoid stubbornness, accept the hardships and take a leap of faith, forgive and keep moving.
Spring officially arrives on March 20 with the spring equinox. The sun crosses the equator from south to north, welcoming the season and brighter days ahead. Cultures worldwide observe and celebrate the spring equinox in a variety of ways and have done so for centuries. In astrology, it’s known as the beginning of a new year, as the sun returns to the first sign of the zodiac wheel, Aries. Hibernation season is officially over; a new positive chapter is beginning.
