🍃🌼Spring Equinox week🍃🌼
The spring equinox marks the start of astronomical spring.
The date is determined by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it travels around the Sun.
At the equinox, the Earth's axis is tilted neither towards nor away from the Sun, making day and night nearly equal in length. The equinox happens twice a year - in March and in September.
Wherever you are on the planet, the equinox occurs at the same moment. For those south of the equator, where the seasons are reversed, the event will mark the first day of autumn.
In 2025 the equinox is on 20 March at 09:01 GMT.

The concept of the spring equinox was celebrated by ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Persians, often associated with the rebirth of nature and fertility rituals.
Even the date of Easter is determined by it, falling on the Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
Psychologically it is often seen as the start of warmer weather and a good time to get outside after the cold of winter.
How will you celebrate and enjoy this change 🌓
