Spring Equinox 2022: Powerful New Beginning Is Here

Spring Equinox 2022 is just around the corner!

When you wake up on 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.

Sunday, 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 a 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 Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac.

This is a really powerful day.

Especially this year, as it falls on a Sunday, the day of the Sun.

It is your chance to set your intentions for the year ahead. Use this magical day wisely. 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 what went wrong and start afresh. Energetically, Spring Equinox is way more powerful than January 1st. So wipe the slate clean and go for it!

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, being sick and stagnant during winter months is crucial at this time.

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

It’s 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. It helps to recharge our batteries.

Try to stay away from the gadgets. Embrace being in nature uninterrupted. Connect with Mother Earth. Start appreciating the simple things in life again.

Detoxify your mental state through mediation, journaling, therapy. Spring clean your home. Get rid of old stuff that is no longer serving you. 

Sage your living and working space. Charge your sanctuary with positive vibes. Let go of all negativity that’s been building up during long winter months.

During this time, 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 at this time.

Spring Equinox 2022 – 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 it wants. 

However, patience is not one of its 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 heart’s deepest desires. It gives us much-needed boost to finally give up procrastinating and start initiating.

The spring equinox 2022 is the time of growth, bold new beginnings, and fearless independence. As nature starts blossoming around you, so do your dreams. Finally, the spring wind is in our sails.

All planets are direct now till end of April.

It’s action time!

The Universe is giving you the green light to go after your wildest dreams.

Don’t procrastinate.

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

The Cosmic Weather Report

Our cosmic messenger Mercury is in Pisces together with the planet of good fortune and limitless abundance, Jupiter. This is the perfect combination to dream big and visualise the best outcome you can possibly imgine.

Personally, I love this placement, even though Mercury is considered to be in its fall position in Pisces.

It can certainly cloud your mind and make you view the world through the rose-tinted glasses, but at the same time it gives you the ability to really open your mind and let go of all limiting believes.

Mercury – Jupiter combo in Pisces is a dreamy, super creative alliance. It is especially favourable time to engage in creative activities. Intuition is super heightened at this time.

Meditate, connect with your inner self. There is a big chance you can receive the answer you’ve been looking for.

Trouble in Paradise…

The goddess of love and abundance Venus is still together with the planet of action, passion and aggression Mars in Aquarius.

They are fast approaching the planet of karma, obstacles, and delays Saturn. Venus is soon to be firmly squeezed between these two malific planets.

To make matters worse, Venus is forming a tense square with the planet of revolution, breakdowns and breakthroughs Uranus.

She is well and truly between the rock and the hard place at the beginning of the Spring Equinox season.

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

This is especially relevant if you have any key placements in your birth chart in fixed signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius.

Use the dreamy, soothing combination of Mercury and Jupiter in Pisces to smooth over any tensions and calamities that might be happening in your world at this time.

It will get a lot easier when Venus enters Pisces on April 27. Promise!

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 abundant and loving.

No matter how many mistakes we as humans make, it is always there for us ready to heal and rejuvenate our broken hearts.
