The spring equinox, where we find ourselves in balance between shadow and light, and the days finally stretch to fully welcome the sun. It is celebrated as Ostara, the beginning of spring. The buds bloom and the melodies of the birds resonate joyfully. We feel the impatience of the growing light rising within us, AND hope reborn. The young and beautiful Persephone finally leaves the underworld to emerge again into the light, bringing with her the promise of rebirth and the regeneration of the earth. Demeter, her mother, filled with joy, sounds the beginning of the luminous season, the season of life, the season of harvest!
Unsurprisingly, it is the impulsive god of war “Ares” who is affected by this season ruled by Mars, that of Aries. We are stamping our feet with impatience and we want to live intensely after the calm of winter. Personalities assert themselves, sometimes with a hint of irritability, but undeniably, it is optimism and passion that light up our hearts. It is the time of change, the opportunity to undertake everything you have never dared to do. But avoid, all the same, starting unnecessary wars because even if Ares was known for his beauty and courage, he tended to be a little too angry. We know that the qualities of Aries can also be his worst faults so let's not get carried away by his fiery spirit!
The birds, like true morning musicians, warm the air with their joyful songs, while the buds slowly open, revealing promises of colors to come. It is as if nature itself is catching its breath, ready to offer us a spectacle full of life and freshness. Let us simply stay there, observe this awakening without rushing, and let ourselves be carried away by this light and hopeful atmosphere.
In these days of transition to Spring, let us celebrate the season of renewal and honor the fiery energy of Ares, the god of war, by concocting a simple ritual:
Find a quiet place : arrange elements of nature there such as fresh flowers, budding tree branches, etc.
Meditation time: Take a few moments to connect with the energy of Ares. Feel the strength and passion that characterizes this season. Visualize the spring sun warming your being, evoking the warrior spirit of Ares and Aries that resides in each of us.
Assert yourself: Think about the changes you want to see in your life. This is the time to take bold initiatives and assert your will with determination.
May this period guide you towards new horizons and new opportunities, driven by the passion of Ares to face challenges with courage, strength and determination! 🌱🌷🌼
