The Spring Equinox occurs around March 21st when the Sun appears directly above the Earth's equator. It is one of the four great solar festivals of the year. Day and night are equal, poised and balanced, but about to tip over on the side of light. The Spring Equinox is sacred to dawn, youth, the morning star and the East. The Saxon goddess, Eostre (from whose name we get the direction East and the holiday Easter) is a dawn goddess. Just as the dawn is the time of new light, so the Spring Equinox is the time of new life.

Spring Equinox celebrates the return of life and growth to the thawing earth. From this day forth, Spring will arrive, and with her, a wild spurt of growth begins. This holiday is truly a celebration of life and nature.

Since the Spring Equinox represents new life and growth, this is the perfect holiday for planting seeds of your own on the path of your life. New ventures may be aided by the spirit of life and growth that abound.
