Spring Equinox 2023

This pivotal period of the year 2023 invites us to move forward, just as the New Moon of March 2023 offers us the opportunity to start anew and make ourselves known.

Equinox

On March 20, 2023, the equinox will occur, marking a period of balance. The gloominess of winter having dissipated and the brightness of spring soon to shine, the time has come to regain our composure and renew our commitment to equality.
The Latin word aequi means "equal" and the Greek word nox means "night", so equinox is a compound of these two words. These are Roman words that have close analogies in English. Every year, on March 20th and September 22nd, we experience two equinoxes, which are days of equal duration between day and night. The principles of parity and harmony play a crucial role during these moments.

Towards the light

Now that we have emerged from the dark half of the year, we can fearlessly look at the facts we have brought with us.

Since the winter solstice of 2022, the days have been getting longer and the nights shorter. On the day of the spring equinox, the hours of daylight and darkness are evenly distributed.

The days will continue to lengthen until the summer solstice, where they are the longest and the nights the shortest.

At that point, there are exactly six months left until the autumn equinox, when day and night are once again of equal duration.

This is a good time to reflect on our inner lives and make necessary adjustments for harmony. Have you overdone it with work? In your partnership, are there more takeaways than givebacks? Is there something you need to improve?

Embrace the change of seasons and strive to find balance in your life as the equinox approaches.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE SPRING TO GIVE US ENERGY?

During the equinox of 2023, the cosmos flowers, sometimes called pink stars, open up to the sun in a green landscape.

In 2023, the Sun will move from Pisces to Aries on March 20th, the day when the Pisces season abruptly ends to make way for the Aries season.

The astrological year also begins at this time. Additionally, the New Moon in Aries will occur the following day, on April 21st, 2023. With Aries being a fire sign, we charge headfirst into spring, confident in our power for positive transformation.

As the universe as a whole seeks balance, those working towards more fairness and equality in society should not encounter resistance from the cosmos.

Utilizing the period of the Equinox to your advantage is an excellent method for bringing harmony on all fronts with minimal effort. Whether we seek balance in our lives or in a specific area, we can invoke it by asking for harmony.

Spring Equinox Ceremony

If you use magic or try to manifest something, you risk getting it. Therefore, you may be caught off guard by the results if you attempt to balance your life before you are ready. For example, you may discover that you dislike a more egalitarian bond resulting from your manifestation if you enjoy taking control in your partnerships.

If you enjoy doing full moon rituals, you may consider doing one on the spring equinox in 2023 to obtain the harmony and parity you seek.

Here is an overview of the elements and steps necessary for performing your own ritual.

Spring Equinox Ceremony
Ceremony for the Vernal Equinox, in spring 2023: The celebration of Beltane requires a special pagan altar. Decorate the antler wood altar with candles, pastel-colored ribbons, chamomile flowers, and ranunculus.

What you'll need: To prepare for the ceremony, gather two candles and three white, black, and blue ribbons or cords.
Build an altar: The two candles on your altar will represent the light and dark seasons that divide the year. All your best attributes, the ones you are most satisfied with, will reside in the brighter part of your personality. All parts of yourself that you are uncomfortable with - your lies and hidden thoughts, feelings, and actions - will live in the shadow. Surround one of the candles with the white cord to represent the bright half of the year. Wrap the black cord around the other candle, representing the dark half of the year. Symbolically place yourself on the blue cord that separates them.
Set the intention: By lighting both candles, meditating, and invoking the spirits of your ancestors, you will have a vision of your life in harmony.
Activate your good intentions: Take hold of the three cords and weave them together, merging your inner light and darkness.
Show gratitude by doing the following: Give thanks, then let the candles burn out in a safe place.
Stay mindful of your goals: The key to finding harmony in your life is to keep the cord near your bed.
