The Magic in Spring

March 20th is the spring equinox, the official turn of the wheel of the seasons. Slowly rolling to a time of purging, planting and unearthing all the things we allowed to sit dormant over the winter. In the North East we are greeted with sure signs of spring. Spring birds, Daffodils and tulips sprouting, and maroon buds on all the trees. My Personal favorite sign of spring are the cheeps from the spring peepers As we call them ( Pseudoceros frogs), Singing at night to tell us winter is coming to an end.

We now release winters magic and look to what spring has to offer us.

Spring opens doors to new forms of action, which seems more exciting then daunting considering we have had time to rest and recharge all of our energy in winter. Winter gave us the time to plan what intensions we want to plant. Now it’s time to plant those seeds as well as clear out anything that will not support the growth of your desires and dreams.

When getting a bed ready for new flowers, normally there is a little work to clear out the bed to get to the base earth to plant. Spring time gives us the opportunity to clean out and plant. How can you clear out the old at the beginning of this season to make room physically, spiritually and mentally? As a Virgo sun, purging and organization are two of my favorite things to do! Here are some of the ways to cleanse and release things that are not of your highest good:

1. Donate: We all have things which pile up in the basement, attic, or in corners of the room that we never touch. We upgrade dishes, get new sheets, new clothes and the old take up space while not being used. If you haven’t touched it in 4-6 months it more than likely will not be something you will miss. Go through the older dishes, clothing and release those pieces which could serve someone else more often then you. This makes room for the things you enjoy and use more often as well as opens room for new things to enter your life.

2. Change your space: In the world of energy there is a natural flow to your space, after time we allow things to become unorganized and cluttered and this can allow energy to become heavy in a space. After releasing things with step one, we can rearrange and change the flow of energy. Rearrange your living room or bedroom to allow a fresh feel to the space. This also allows for the feeling of new to inspire how you can rearrange other areas of your life. Such as your schedule, money habits and priorities.

Note: this is also a great time to organize smaller areas and places where you spend a lot of time! Yes I am also looking at the kitchen junk drawer that has a never ending supply of random things.

3. Plant: Alright we have released the old and organized the things we currently have. Now how can we make the best of this time? We plant! Is there a new hobby you wish to learn? Are you dreaming of walking into a new career path? Start the process with planting the seed that will lead you to what you most desire. This could include looking up and joining new classes, obtaining a tool to start a hobby, or applying for a new position. These actions seem small but are the seeds to growth in areas of your life you want to see change.

Spring is such an exciting time, releasing old things and welcoming new always makes for adding new zest to your life. If you’re a big dreamer this is also your time to get your footing and start the process of moving toward creating those dreams. Move along with the seasons that are bursting new life into the world.

May all you plant grow with endless abundance and beauty for your life.
