“[The March equinox] is a highly significant moment in time in many different cultures and practices, including pagans, Wiccans, and astrologers, because it’s very telling of the relationships between the Earth and the Sun at this time of the year,” explains Narayana Montúfar, senior astrologer for Astrology.com and author of Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power. “After the winter comes to an end, it marks the return of the light bringing longer days, new crops, and a reset in terms of fertility… We attune to this energy by coming out of our cocoon to plant the seeds of new beginnings.” The season of hibernation has officially ended.
