An all-out mentality shift is required for spring cleaning.
Feeling refreshed is practically guaranteed as the days grow warmer and the first day of spring draws near. The weather and the general uplift in spirits are major factors, but the transformational energy of the spring equinox also plays a role.
When the sun moves directly over the equator, it is called the spring equinox. Day and night become the same length at this time, which coincides with the autumn equinox. There will be an equal amount of daylight in both the northern and southern hemispheres during this time as well.
March 19 at 11:06 p.m. ET marks the beginning of spring in 2024, a leap year compared to the usual March 21 or 22. On March 19, we not only welcome a new season, but also the beginning of the astrological year. I’m feeling really revitalized right now.
When the new year rolls around, the first sign in the zodiac wheel is Aries, which can bring about some noticeable changes. There may be a dip or a feeling of something ending as Pisces season winds down, but the energy swiftly rises again because of this blazing sign.
Read on for a rundown of the first day of spring and how to commemorate it in style.
Spring Equinox: Spiritual Meaning
You would be correct in thinking that the spring equinox marks a new beginning. A feeling of renewal or rebirth following a long, dark winter is symbolized by it. At this energetic time of year, when flowers begin to bloom, Mars rules the fire sign of Aries, so there is bound to be a flurry of activity.
The energetic, dynamic, and rapid-fire sign of Aries is symbolized by a charging ram. This is why Aries is constantly prepared to jump into new experiences and opportunities with both feet—a spirit that every sign in the zodiac can relate to.
Similar to January 1st, when we celebrate New Year’s Day, the astrological new year is a fitting occasion for self-reflection. With the lunar eclipse just six days away on March 25, now is a potent moment to embrace the energy of spring by viewing our lives differently.
Large, hastily made vows may turn out to be unfulfilling during eclipse season. In order to welcome the new energy of this time, it may be necessary to let go of a habit, a job, or a relationship, particularly if it feels like it has been building for a while.
The Pisces season, which is characterized by heightened intuition, formally ends on the first day of spring. The Pisces season, which occurs while it is still dark, cold, and wintery, is the 12th sign of the zodiac. The sign is associated with imagination and aspirations, and it is a mutable water element. Imagine Aries as the flamboyant extrovert and Pisces as the reserved introvert.
The equinox feels like a switch flips because Pisces and Aries are so different. Seek out ways to welcome the season and the change if you want to completely embrace the energizing energy of Aries.
Spring Equinox: Celebration
• Spoil Yourself with Flowers
Surrounding oneself with flowers is a simple way to welcome spring. Find the most vibrant bouquet, some gerbera daisies, or some brightly colored flowers to symbolize fiery Aries.
Filling a vase with flowers is not only a beautiful way to welcome spring, but it also has symbolic significance. During the Aries season, which is all about taking care of yourself, it’s a good idea to treat yourself to a few small things.
• A New Hairstyle
Now is the perfect opportunity to get those bangs or dye your hair that you’ve been dreaming of. Take a screenshot of the look you’ve been adoring the most—it could be from your Pinterest board or even Hailey Bieber’s Instagram. Jump in with both feet; this season, be a different person.
• Get in Touch with Pals
Why not plan a dinner date with your closest friends if it’s been a while? You will have the social energy to go for it during the stimulating Aries season. Aside from helping you shake off the winter blues, grabbing a bite will be a lot of fun.
• Get Your Apartment in Order
Staying inside and cleaning may not sound exciting unless you’re a Virgo, but it’s actually one of the best ways to welcome the season. ‘Spring cleaning’ is not an oxymoron. A wonderful way to welcome the new energy of spring is to sweep away the stagnant energy of winter.
Imagine it as part of a routine similar to cleaning the windows, washing the sheets, and sweeping the floor under the bed to add intrigue. This becomes an intentional practice when going through a transformative time, such as the spring equinox.
Spring Equinox: Things to Avoid
Resist the temptation to stay in bed all spring long; after all, that’s what Aries energy is all about: living life to the fullest. Now is the perfect moment to try something new, whether that’s meeting new people or taking up a new hobby. Those born under the sign of Aries are lucky because they are adventurous and love to try new things.
Be careful not to overdo it, particularly when manifesting future outcomes. It may be difficult to hold fast to an intention right now because we are entering eclipse season. I would advise against making a complete and utter shift unless you have an inner sense that this is the right course of action. Instead of trying to accomplish a great deal, it is wise to listen to the gentle prompts from within.
