Happy Spring!



Happy first day of spring, Ostara and Spring Equinox. The full moon almost upon us makes for a very potent entry into the Spring season. The moon is in Virgo, so be a stickler for details; get your ducks in a row. Monitor your health and your daily schedule.

Many are celebrating Ostara today, which is the Neopagan festival with a number of different meanings. Some honor the Teutonic goddess Ostara cited in Jacob Grimm’s Deutsche Mythologie (German Mythology). Others celebrate the young god regaining strength in his youth after being born at Yule as the goddess returns to her maiden aspect. Christians celebrate Holy Week, as Easter nears. Many speculate that the name of the Easter holiday was taken from the Ostara tradition.

At 1:48 a.m. EDT today, the Sun entered Aries, so if you’re a ram like me, get ready to celebrate your birthday.

Whatever your preference, enjoy the day!
