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.

According to the Lunisolar calendar, the spring season transition starts today! We are at the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere. The yang energy has entered back into the fold to help us transition into the spring and summer seasons. Moreover, we are shifting from the last six months of introverted and feminine energy and into the next six months of more extroverted and masculine energy. The yang energy has awakened the elements and it is rising to the surface to shake us out of hibernation.

Happy Winter Solstice for those in the Northern Hemisphere! On the shortest day and longest night of the year, we are embodied by the darkness to remind us of our mother’s womb. This is a nourishing and sacred time for many communities all around the world. A time for rituals to gather, celebrate, renew, and honor our spiritual and ancestral connections. Many believe the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds are very thin at this time and it allows us to move between realms and elevate our consciousness.
