Vernal Equinox

Ostara (1884) by Johannes Gehrts

David Austin Garden Roses, Icelandic Poppies and Jasmine

The fertility goddess Ostara is celebrated by Wiccans on the spring equinox which is officially March 20th at 8:07 pm. New beginnings! In many Arab nations Mother's Day is celebrated on the Spring Equinox. Tomorrow's "Super Moon" will, according to astrologers, bring heightened emotions with it and is an opportune time to transform turbulent situations into auspicious regenerations. Timing couldn't be better!
