Day of the Equinox
It’s the equinox. The days and nights are of equal length. The Sun is moving into the first sign of the zodiac. For Tibetans, Mayans, Persians … and astrologers, it’s a deeply significant time of rebirth and renewal. A solar celebration that happens on the same day every year. Unusually, though, there’s a Full Moon too, triggering the lunar ‘floating festivals’ of Hindu Holi, Jewish Purim, Pagan Ostara and Christian Easter. Auspicious, powerful alignments insist that, whether you’re celebrating all, some or none of the above (and despite all the gloom in the news) we’ll all have something to celebrate soon.
