Spring Equinox 2023: Astrological New Year Is Here

Spring Equinox 2023 is just around the corner!

When you wake up in the morning of March 20, you might find yourself feeling a little bit more hopeful, a little bit lighter… There is a growing feeling that magic is in the air… Despite all the heaviness we are currently experiencing as a collective.

These positive vibes are more welcome than ever.

Monday, March 20 is the official start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Spring Equinox occurs when the Sun crosses the equator line and moves north.

The Latin word ‘equinox’ translates into English as ‘equality of night and day.’ It’s the beginning of the Astrological New Year.

Spring Equinox Meaning

With its promise of the awakening and blossoming after the long winter, Spring Equinox has been traditionally linked with spiritual significance and sacred meaning.

The arrival of spring has been celebrated by communities around the world throughout the history, from the ancient Roman festivals to the contemporary holidays celebrated around this time, including Holi, Passover, and Easter. Nowruz, the Persian New Year, falls directly on the Spring Equinox, as does the Wiccan holiday of Ostara.

No matter what your cultural and religious views are, this time of the year is associated across the board with rebirth, new beginnings, fertility and abundance of nature and its ability to flourish, following winter time.

We are coming out of our cocoon to plant the seeds of new beginnings.

Hibernation season is well and truly over!

Spring Equinox and Astrology

Spring Equinox is a significant day for the western astrologers all over the globe, as it marks the beginning of the Astrological New Year.

The Sun enters the first Zodiac sign of Aries and begins its annual journey through the Zodiac.

This is one of the most powerful days of the year.

It is your chance to set intentions for the whole year ahead.

Use this magical day wisely.

Ask yourself deep questions about your destiny in the world.

What do you hope to accomplish this year? What is your deepest heart’s desire?

Don’t worry if you didn’t manage to follow through on your New Year’s resolutions thus far…

Now is the perfect opportunity to review setbacks and start afresh.

Energetically, Spring Equinox is way more powerful than January 1st.

Rejuvenate and Flourish

The spring season is traditionally seen as the optimal time to cleanse ourselves both physically and spiritually.

Implementing holistic approach to help our body detoxify and release bi-products from digestion and being stagnant during long winter months is crucial at this time.

Incorporating breathing exercises is vital to energise the body and move the energy.

It’s absolutely vital to spend more time outdoors.

Find new, exciting ways to enjoy nature!

Go on a hike, morning walk in the local park, organise a weekend trip to the countryside with family and friends.

Nature is so abundant and loving.

Try to stay away from the gadgets and embrace being in nature uninterrupted.

Now is the time to connect with Mother Earth and start appreciating the simple things in life again.

Detoxify your mental state through mediation, journaling, and therapy.

Spring clean your home. Get rid of old stuff that is no longer serving you. 

Sage your living and working space and charge your sanctuary with positive vibes.

Letting go of all negativity that’s been building up during long winter months is especially favoured at this time.

At the time of the Spring Equinox the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds is getting thinner, allowing us to receive messages and vital information.

Pay more attention to your intuition and dreams.

Spring Equinox 2023 – Astrological Meaning 

Aries is the fire starter of the Zodiac. The Sun is exalted in this passionate, action oriented cardinal fire sign. 

Fiery Aries is assertive, enthusiastic, and full of energy. It has a special gift for making others do what they want. 

However, patience is not one of their strongest points.

The energy of Aries helps to easily initiate new things, but it can make us struggle to finish them.

This Zodiac season invites us to realign with our goals and our heart’s deepest desires.

It gives us a much-needed boost to finally give up procrastinating and start initiating.

The Spring Equinox 2023 is the time of growth, bold new beginnings, and fearless independence. As nature starts blossoming all around us, so do our dreams.

The New Moon in Aries follows closely the Spring Equinox on March 21 and all planets are direct until the end of April. Finally, the spring wind is in our sails.

It’s action time!

The Universe is giving us the green light to fearlessly go after our wildest dreams.

Now is not the time to procrastinate.

Don’t let self-criticism and over-the-top perfectionism ruin this special momentum for you.

Things may not go according to plan right away, but don’t lose hope! Resilience and adaptability is the key at this time.

This is especially relevant if you have any key placements in your Birth Chart in cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.

The Cosmic Takeaway

Even though the cosmic energy is still pretty tense, there is a sense of growing hope that our goals and desires are within our reach at this time.

Embrace the magical energy of the Sun entering its strongest position in the Sky.

The spring is here to remind us that nature is so generous and forgiving.

No matter how many mistakes we make, it’s always there for us ready to heal our bleeding wounds.

We are approaching the most anticipated astrological alignment of the year – the Jupiter – North Node conjunction in Taurus on June 1.

This is a big deal!

Now is the time to start preparing ourselves to fully align with the Universe.
