The Spring Equinox is one of the two points in the calendar when day and night are of almost but not quite equal length. Therefore, it is a time of balance and union; a time to experience night and day, dark and light, feminine and masculine, yin and yang in equal measure. From here until the summer solstice the sun will strengthen and the days grow longer and the Spring Equinox marks the beginning of this cycle of growth. It is a time of intuitive clarity that supports the turn outwards towards the external world. The Spring Equinox is associated with pregnant rounds, milk, the moon and first greenings.
