Spring is the season where everything begins again.
From the first (much anticipated) light of the Spring Equinox to the golden warmth just before summer arrives, this is a time of awakening, growth, fertility, creativity, and courage.
In the Northern Hemisphere, spring typically begins around March 19–21 and ends around June 19–21. During this time, we move through powerful zodiac seasons, celebrate sabbats, and experience New and Full Moons that can gently guide our intentions and releases.
Let’s walk through the magic of the entire season together.
The Astrological Flow of Spring
Spring carries us through three zodiac seasons, each building upon the last.
Aries Season (Approximately March 20 – April 19)

This is a season where we plant the seeds we want to grow throughout spring and into summer.
