Celebrating Spring Equinox

Today we celebrate the change of seasons with a global mix.The spring equinox, occurring March 20th 2026 in the Northern Hemisphere, marks the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths. It symbolizes the transition from winter to spring, representing rebirth, fertility, and the awakening of nature. In the Southern Hemisphere, the equinox occurs in September, marking the start of autumn. Many cultures have historically aligned monuments and temples with the Sun’s position during the equinox, such as Stonehenge in England, El Castillo in Mexico, and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, reflecting the celestial significance of this event. The spring equinox, or Ostara, is celebrated worldwide as a time of renewal, balance, and new beginnings, with traditions ranging from ancient rituals to modern festivals and personal practices.
