We are set to embark on another turn of the wheel and what a beautiful turn it is. Ostara, the Spring Equinox, is upon us and the energy in the air is crackling with anticipation of the full and vibrant awakening of Mother Nature. So, if you are still planning your Ostara activities for the weekend you’ll want to keep on reading!
Ostara is the first official day of spring, the Spring Equinox. This is a time for growth, renewal, new beginnings, fertility, abundance, and hope. A joyous and uplifting day, as we are all growing a little tired of winter at this point lol. Once Ostara hits we know the water, brighter days are not far behind! For more Ostara details and correspondences, you may check out my full post HERE.
