Today is the Spring Equinox, which is considered by many to be the first day of Spring, and is one of only two moments in the year when the sun is exactly above the Equator and, as a result, day and night are of equal length. After this day, the brightness of daylight begins to overtake the dark hours in the sky as the days continue to longer and longer, and the nights shorter and shorter. This transition is the basis within the celebration of the holiday itself, as we celebrate the warming and awakening of the earth as she prepares to share her abundance and generosity with us all.
Today’s spread takes a look at some of the elements associated with the Spring Equinox, and the advice they have to offer us.
Tulips – Loyalty / Forgiveness: Where do I need to practice forgiveness to foster stronger loyalty?
Knight of Wands atop Page of Wands Rx – sometimes when you wing it instead of taking your time to learn things at a reasonable pace, things go awry. Let go of the blame you feel in these moments. Experimentation has value, even in the times it sends you back to the drawing board.
Robin – Compassion / Patience: How can I give myself more compassion and patience?
Four of Swords – Give yourself the room to rest and recover that is needed. You wouldn’t push someone else in your own situation, so stop pushing yourself and use this time to strategize instead of acting.
Rose Quartz – Unconditional Love: How can I be more open to offering unconditional love to others?
Eight of Cups Rx – Be ruthless in cutting out those in your life that don’t deserve your love and loyalty, and it will open up more of those qualities in yourself to give to those that are truly deserving.
Aquamarine – Calm / Courage: What do I need to help me to stay calm and courageous in the face of adversity?
The Empress – Time in nature, nurturing relationships with both yourself and others, and a mindfulness towards abundance.
Butterfly – Transformation: What sort of transformation is waiting for me this spring?
King of Swords and Deserve – You deserve love and happiness, but sometimes to get it you have to take up the reigns, strategize your path forward, and take others with you along for the ride.
Clover – Luck / Protection: Where in life will luck play into protecting me from potential harm?
King of Cups – You are very lucky in love, and in having someone in your life that doesn’t want to just hear about your emotions, but wants to help guide you in learning about them.
Rabbit – Fertility / Abundance: How can I encourage more abundance in my life this spring?
The Moon Rx atop Five of Cups – Take care to be aware of when uncertainties make you sour. You don’t have to snap back or become negative during these times, but it’s something that you’re going to have to keep an eye on and be aware of or it will happen again and again.
