Just some musings as I too ‘awaken‘ from my winter ‘hibernation‘…….
Vernal (Spring) Equinox – equilibrium and balance
Meteorologically, Spring is declared as the first day of September.
In the astrological world, Spring commences in the Southern hemisphere when the Sun reaches 00°Libra, and for us in Tasmania, the Spring Equinox occurs on Thursday, 23rd September 2021 at 5:21 am AEST.
At this time, our Northern hemisphere friends are entering into their Autumnal Equinox.
The Spring Equinox sets the Astrological scene for the next three months until the Summer Solstice.
A time of renewal and new beginnings.
An elemental time and time for the Air Element to energise our way of being.
Astrologically, this is more about our collective being, our culture, society and our tribe.
Libra is ruled by Venus and at this Equinox, She is in Her detriment!
Being in Scorpio suggests a difficult placement for Venus: a placement where She is unable to fully be herself!
Here in Scorpio, Her energy is intensely and singularly directed, whilst in her natural state as She finds in Taurus or Libra, Venus has a broad and encompassing view: wholistic, balanced and equal.
As we archetypically ‘emerge’ from winter into spring, are we seeing the world with narrow and intense Scopionic vision: is the world fearful and seemingly devoid of the material from which we can plant the seeds for happiness?
The world we live in seems to be getting worse – is it really?
Maybe it has always been this way and we are awakening from our ‘winter hibernation’?
Are our eyes now seeing more clearly the nature of being?
Maybe we have awoken a new, with a willingness to plant the seeds of harmony, balance and equality?
“Belief in humankind’s sinful nature also provides a tidy explanation for the existence of evil. When confronted with hatred or selfishness, you can tell yourself, ‘Oh, well, that’s just human nature.’ But if you believe that people are essentially good, you have to question why evil exists at all. It implies that engagement and resistance are worthwhile, and it imposes an obligation to act.”
― Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History
I hope this Spring brings you a sense of renewed hope and a desire to seek balance and equilibrium in all you do!
The ‘doing‘ is the archetypal force of Spring-time: “an obligation to act” and to seek regeneration, renewal and regrowth!
