Happy Spring Equinox for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere! You may have noticed the last few weeks have been a mix of extremes from weather patterns to personal engagements. We’ve been teetering between the energies of winter and spring. You may have experienced the simultaneous sensation of cold and hot, contracting and expanding, stop and go, and slow and fast. Nothing feels grounded or stable. This energy can make the measurement of time feel confusing as well. One day moves quickly and then the next day slowly.

Today has an intense energy and it’s not surprising that the U.S. election outcome was announced this day as well. Today marks the halfway point between the Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere. Even though Winter Solstice is more than a month away, today is actually considered the beginning of winter according to the Lunisolar calendar. This calendar is used by agricultural societies to monitor the changes in seasons and weather patterns for optimal farming production. It is also used as a guiding timeline for healthy lifestyle choices and seasonal living.
