As we cross into the lighter half of the year, Nature is unmistakably waking up. Trees are budding, spring flowers are opening, birds are singing their mating songs, seeds are germinating beneath our feet. Every sense is being called back to life.
Tomorrow is Spring Equinox and it is our invitation to rebalance.
The Equinox is one of the great thresholds of the year, a moment when we are asked to bring equilibrium back into our own lives:
🌀 light and dark
🌀 inner and outer
🌀 intuition and rational mind
🌀 conscious and unconscious
🌀 feminine and masculine
A little bit of nerdy nature wisdom: the actual equal day and night — called Equilux — fell a few days ago, on 17th March for us here in South Wales. This is because of how sunrise and sunset are calculated. The Equinox and Equilux are not the same thing!
But however we measure it, balance is never a fixed point. It is a dynamic dance — a constant give and take, shifting over time. The invitation isn't to arrive at perfect equilibrium, but to tend to it consciously.
We fondant had some sunshine this week, with almost Beltane like warmth, which was a beautiful gift before it most probably returns to the more typical mix of Welsh sunshine and rain. And with that sun and rain, everything is bursting into life.
Spring carries powerful fertility energy. It is the season for taking the visions, learnings and dreams that ripened in the stillness of winter and grounding them — growing them into something real, something lasting. Our energy naturally spirals outward now, from the inner world into the world around us.
What lasting change will you be growing this Spring?
With blessings
