Astrological Event
Sun enters Aries — Spring Equinox
The astrological new year. The Sun crosses the celestial equator into Aries, and day and night stand equal. Spring equinox is a moment of perfect balance before the light overtakes the dark. Plant seeds — literal and metaphorical. New beginnings are cosmically supported.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. — Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV

Pagan Observance
Ostara — Spring Equinox
The pagan celebration of spring's return. Ostara is a time of fertility, new growth, and the resurrection of the earth. Eggs, rabbits, seeds, and flowers are sacred symbols today. Decorate eggs as spell vessels. Plant something you want to grow. Welcome the returning light.

Planetary Movement
Mercury Retrograde ends
Mercury stations direct in Pisces. The fog begins to lift. Wait a few days for the post-shadow period before making major decisions or signing contracts.
☽
Moon Phase
New Moon in Pisces
The last new moon before the astrological new year begins. Pisces new moons are dreamy, intuitive, and deeply spiritual — excellent for closing out old cycles, releasing what no longer serves, and quiet inner work before the fire of Aries season arrives. Rest, dream, and let the veil stay thin tonight.
