The arrival of spring marks a new beginning: nature awakens, light expands, and energy renews itself. The Spring Equinox falls on March 20th, a moment of perfect balance between light and darkness, transformation and growth.

Throughout history, this transition has been celebrated in spiritual and mystical traditions. The ancient Celts honored Ostara, the goddess of fertility and renewal, while in astrology, the Sun enters Aries – a fire sign associated with action and rebirth. This moment is also an opportunity for us to reconnect with our inner energy, release the old, and embrace new possibilities.

To celebrate this shift, we can turn to the symbolism of Tarot and candles inspired by the Star, the Moon, and the Sun – three fundamental phases of our inner journey.
