Spring Equinox

Be the branch that looses its frost, only to bloom the most beautiful flower.

Be the drop of ice that falls from the branch, only to nurture fertile grounds once more.

The frost didn’t appear over night… it built little, by little. Layer by layer. It took a long time to even realize how cold I’d become. And even longer to figure how, why? Longer still to defrost… thawing out one layer at a time and not knowing how each layer would manifest itself. Tears, anger, shame, joy, laughter. Such a complex, yet beautiful process. As more layers thawed, the softer I became. And I learned how strong soft is, because the softer I got, the stronger I became. More beautiful yet is that in this softness I found fertile grounds. I began to see myself grow and blossom. Others begin to take note of my flower - they come to inhale its beauty and collect its knowledge and eventually… more flowers began to bloom in those around me. And I realized that I no longer have a need for the frost to protect my branches in times of darkness and cold. I realized that my newfound softness was all the strength that I needed. That the beauty of my now garden didn’t come from my appearance or what I achieved, but from love, courage, vulnerability, softness and my a new found audacity to believe that no matter the darkness around me - light runs wild within me. And this is the way I came alive and how I strive to show up in everything 

The Spring Equinox: A Season of Thawing and Blooming

Spring begins not with force, but with a gradual thaw. The equinox is the moment of balance—equal parts light and dark—before the days grow longer, stretching toward the sun. This transition mirrors our own internal seasons.

For months, we’ve been in an inner winter—a time of stillness, reflection, and quiet growth beneath the surface. We’ve hardened ourselves against the cold, built layers to endure, and perhaps even forgotten what it feels like to bloom. But spring reminds us: what was frozen can soften. What was buried can rise. What was dormant can thrive once more.

The process isn’t instant. Just like ice melts layer by layer, we, too, thaw in stages. It can feel vulnerable at first—allowing yourself to soften after months (or years) of survival mode. But there is strength in this softness. In this readiness to open, to shed the weight of winter, and to step boldly into the sun once again.

Aries Season: The Fire That Awakens Us

With the Spring Equinox comes Aries season, the first sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mars, the planet of action, courage, and raw potential. Aries is the spark, the initiator, the force that reminds us:

You have permission to start fresh.

Whatever has been weighing you down—whatever frost has settled in your heart—this is your sign to let it go. Aries teaches us that we don’t need to have the perfect plan or wait for the perfect moment. New beginnings start when we decide to step forward. The fire of Aries season asks:

• What are you ready to breathe life into?

• What new adventure are you being called toward?

• What frost are you willing to melt away?

This is the start of the astrological new year, a cosmic reset button, a divine invitation to be bold, brave, and unapologetically alive.

Softness is Strength: Embracing the Courage to Bloom

So often, we associate strength with rigidity—with pushing through, staying guarded, or refusing to break. But true strength isn’t about resistance. It’s about resilience. It’s about softening without losing yourself. It’s about trusting the process of blooming, even when you don’t know what the full flower will look like yet.

Spring reminds us that life isn’t about staying frozen in what’s familiar. It’s about allowing yourself to be changed by the warmth of the sun. It’s about daring to open. To be seen. To bloom—not just for yourself, but as an invitation for others to do the same.

Because when we allow ourselves to bloom, we give others permission to do the same.

A Simple Spring Equinox Ritual

To honor this shift into rebirth, renewal, and courage, here’s a simple Spring Equinox ritual to help you thaw, soften, and step into your bloom:

What You’ll Need:

• A candle (preferably white or yellow, symbolizing new beginnings)

• A bowl of water (symbolizing thawing and renewal)

• A small piece of paper and a pen

The Ritual:

1. Set the Scene – Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Light your candle and place the bowl of water in front of you. Take a few deep breaths, feeling your body relax and open.

2. Reflect – On your piece of paper, write down what frost you’re ready to let go of. What has been weighing you down? What old energy, beliefs, or habits are no longer serving you?

3. Release – Fold the paper and hold it over the bowl of water. As you dip it in, imagine the frost melting away. Picture yourself thawing, softening, and stepping into your full bloom.

4. Affirmation – Say aloud (or in your heart):

I allow myself to soften. I allow myself to bloom. I release the past and embrace the warmth of new beginnings. My light runs wild within me.

5. Close the Ritual – Let the paper dissolve in the water or discard it. Blow out your candle, knowing that your intentions have been set in motion.

Final Thoughts: Your Time to Bloom

This Spring Equinox, may you allow yourself to thaw, soften, and open. May you trust in the natural rhythm of your own growth. May you remember that the most beautiful flowers bloom only after enduring the coldest seasons.

And may you walk into this new chapter unapologetically alive, audaciously bold, and glowing from the light that runs wild within you.

Happy Spring Equinox. Happy Aries season. Your time is now.
