We can look forward to two great cosmic events coming up this March 20th-21st with the Spring Equinox and the New Moon in Aries.
Both are powerful events that signal the arrival of new beginnings and powerful change for us as individuals and a collective on this planet.
The March Equinox (20th-21st)
The March Equinox ushers in the start of the Aries Season, and seeing as Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, this is also the beginning of the astrological new year.
It’s the beginning of Spring, here in the Northern Hemisphere, and Autumn for those in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Equinox is what happens when the sun crosses the celestial equator, making day and night the same length – hence the word equinox which means equal night in Latin.
The Equinox is always a time of equilibrium and balance – a moment in time where day and night have equal hours.
It’s been said that the Equinox holds a great spiritual significance too as a time when the veil between our world and higher realms grows thinner and easier to cross.
Ancient cultures who were more deeply connected to the changes of the Earth and its seasons celebrated the Equinox as a magical time of harmony and natural wisdom.
Harmony and Balance
What this means is that the March Equinox is a wonderful day to bring our lives into balance.
You might want to focus on bringing different areas of your life into alignment, like your diet, your daily routine, and your way of being. See where you can bring more balance to your life and find inner strength and stability.
Anything you can do that promotes harmony around the time of the Equinox will help you connect to magical energies.
You might feel like meditating or creating a vision board of your dreams and goals. You may be drawn to spending time in nature or doing something quietly creative.
Whatever feels right for you, allow yourself to be called by what your soul is telling you on this day, and follow that instinct.
Zero Planets in Retrograde
Having no major planets in retrograde motion is a wonderful bonus to this time of year. It means we are surrounded by powerful, motivational, forward-moving energy.
You will likely experience a burst of productivity, and taking action toward your goals and projects will feel easy.
The Aries New Moon (21st March)
Following the climax of the Equinox, we have the Aries New Moon on March 21st and it’s bursting with fabulous, creative, and supercharged energy.
This New Moon heralds one of the best times of the year for intention setting and looking ahead to the future with optimism.
The most productive way to tap into this energy is to get super clear on everything you want to create over the coming astrological year.
It’s a wonderful time to sow the seeds of your dreams and recognize what you need to do to help the Universe deliver them into your reality.
What habits and behaviors do you need to look at? What thought patterns are still keeping you stuck?
Think of this New Moon as an amazing gift from the skies – an opportunity to begin again.
You can truly renew everything about your life this March and make sure that your vibration is on a high frequency and magnetizing all that you want to you!
Now is the time to leave behind who you thought you were and step into the life you have always dreamed of.
Allow the energy of this astrology to fuel you, and let it push you forward out of your comfort zone and into a more exciting reality.
An Aries New Moon Eclipse (April 19th)
This Aries New Moon on March 21st is connected to a second Aries New Moon Eclipse coming up on April 19th.
We will talk about that one nearer the time, but it’s important to note that they will work together thematically.
Whatever emerges for you at the time of the Aries New Moon in March will likely be revealed or unraveled further during the Aries New Moon Eclipse in April.
You can think of the two moons as two bookends, each symbolizing the start and finish of some kind of episode in your life.
This is a time of enormous shifts in the world at large, and it is possible that you will experience some kind of awakening yourself, or possibly receive some kind of important information that changes your perspective.
Whatever unfolds, the energy from the Universe is bold, and powerful, and brings so many exciting opportunities for everyone.
The best way to navigate all these cosmic changes is to find an inner sense of calm.
It’s much easier to move and flow with fresh energy when you have an unshakable sense of who you are in the world.
When you lead with an open heart and inner confidence, you align your energy to receive fresh inspiration and opportunities to boost your life and create new experiences for yourself.
This month of March is all about the new and the exciting – don’t let it pass you by without grabbing hold of that energy and using it to expand your mind and enhance your life!
A Mantra for the March Equinox and the New Moon in Aries:
