The Wheel Of The Year - Ostara - Spring Equinox

Southern Hemisphere - September 20th-23rd

Northern Hemisphere - March 19th-21st


At the Equinoxes, we find day & night are equally long, the perfect balance of light & dark. Representing the dualities of Nature - Masculine/Feminine, above/below, yin/yang, etc.

From Spring Equinox until Mabon (Autumn Equinox), there will be more light than darkness. As the world grows brighter, the earth awakens & there is the promise of hope & new life.


This Equinox celebrates the return of the Sun, and Ostara, named for the Germanic goddess, Eostre , is one of four solar festivals in The Wheel of the Year.


At this time, nature wakes from its winter hibernation & the first signs of budding flowers & green shoots appear. It is a time of balance, new life & new beginnings.


Traditionally, this Solstice was a time for decorating eggs, hunting, & feasts, a time to plan & plant new crops. It was a time of joy, honouring the Spring & Earth goddesses. Today, it is a time for 'planting seeds', both physically & spiritually, checking in with ourselves to see where & how we can grow & thrive and focusing on our light!
