Spring into New Beginnings

The Energy of Spring and Its Effect on Us

Spring is here, and this is a fabulous time for new beginnings. As we enter the season, you might have noticed how much more positive and energetic you felt. The energy of the earth and the seasons have a profound effect on us. Not all seasons are the same. This winter I heard so many of my clients, who live in the mid-west, talk about how little snow there was. A few years ago, the same people were talking about how much snow they had!

Aligning Yourself with the Season of Renewal

I encourage you to feel the season in your body and align yourself to it. Seasons are great reminders of the changes we go through in life too. Sometimes winter is long, and seems to go on forever, but spring always comes. Likewise, we can have periods in our lives that are harder, full of loss, grief, endings. It is easy in the barren season of winter in your life, to forget that spring will return. But nature reminds us that it will. We will be renewed.

Embrace the Energy of Spring and Move Forward

Now is the time to move with the energy of renewal. If you found yourself dragging at the new year to make new goals for the year, do it now. Maybe all you needed was the energy of spring to move you forward. As you feel the energy of this season, you might notice the high level of enthusiasm you feel. The high level of hope and optimism. The desire to do and plan new things. Spring is motivating you and moving you in new ways.

Spring Cleaning: Let Go of What Doesn’t Serve You

This is a great time to clean out closets and let go of things that don't serve you. It is also a time to do this with emotional patterns that no longer serve you. Spring is all about fresh starts, and this is your opportunity to release what has been holding you back.

The Rare Solar Eclipse on April 8th: A Time for Big Change

This spring, the energy of new beginnings is compounded by the upcoming rare Solar Eclipse on April 8th. A solar eclipse occurs on a new moon. New moons are associated with new beginnings. Added to the energy of spring, and this is why we all feel so much more excited now. Eclipses are dramatic turning points in our lives. They are periods of time that usher in change. In astrology, eclipses are a time when endings occur; things are said to "eclipse out" of our lives. Eclipses can be disorienting. They can help us break patterns, thus the eclipsing out effect.

Aries Eclipse: Bold Action and New Paths

All of this will be especially true, during this eclipse in Aries. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the baby Aries are very bold, courageous and passionate. So during this eclipse, we have a compounded effect of new starts and bold action. This is a time for bold new paths and opportunities to present themselves, perhaps even more than we’ve imagined. Major growth will occur now.

The Karmic Energy of the 8th: Wisdom and Responsibility

This particular eclipse also falls on the 8th, which is a karmic number. It represents wisdom, stability and responsibility. So this will be a time to have self restraint in our emotions and actions. Aries is a fire sign, so big explosive emotions and actions are possible during this eclipse. The energy of the 8th is calling on us to be calm and wise.

Stay Cautious and Embrace Aries’ Positive Traits

Because Aries is the baby. It can be impulsive and reckless. I would be cautious of tempers flaring this month and next. Keep your head low, watch out when driving, avoid conflicts. Embrace the positive aspects of Aries, be confident, courageous and optimistic.
