Spring equinox brings themes of renewal and symbolic balance

The arrival of the spring equinox marks a period of astronomical and symbolic transition. Astronomically, the September equinox results in nearly equal day and night lengths, signaling the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere and autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

Symbolically, the season is associated with renewal, movement, and new beginnings. Tarot reader and therapist Elenizia Delgado provides astrological trends for the 12 zodiac signs, using Tarot cards as tools for reflection on personal, professional, and financial matters. For example, Aries is encouraged to use the ‘The Emperor’ card to focus on leadership and concrete planning rather than impulsivity.

Writer and practitioner Tânia Gori suggests the equinox serves as an invitation to find balance in life. She notes that the meeting of light and darkness in nature reflects the need to balance elements such as work and rest, or intuition and reason, before new growth can occur.
