The spring equinox, where we find ourselves in balance between light and shadow, and the days finally stretch to fully welcome the sun. It is celebrated as Ostara, the beginning of spring. Buds bloom and the melodies of birds resonate joyfully. We feel the anticipation of the growing light rising within us, AND hope reborn. The young and beautiful Persephone finally leaves the underworld to emerge once again into the light, bringing with her the promise of rebirth and the regeneration of the earth. Demeter, her mother, filled with joy, heralds the beginning of the bright season, the season of life, the season of harvest!
Unsurprisingly, it's the impulsive god of war "Ares" who is affected by this Mars-ruled season, that of Aries. We're stamping our feet with impatience and we want to live intensely after the calm of winter. Personalities assert themselves, sometimes with a touch of irritability, but undeniably, it's optimism and passion that light up our hearts. It's a time for change, an opportunity to undertake everything you've never dared to do. But still, avoid starting unnecessary wars because even if Ares was known for his beauty and courage, he tended to be a little too quick-tempered. We know that the qualities of Aries can also be his worst flaws, 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's as if nature itself is catching its breath, ready to offer us a spectacle full of life and freshness. Let's simply stay here, 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 characterize this season. Visualize the spring sun warming your being, evoking the warrior spirit of Ares and Aries that resides within each of us.
Assert yourself: Think about the changes you want to see in your life. This is the time to take bold steps 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! 🌱🌷🌼
