Soft Spirituality

Spring is the season where everything begins again.

From the first (much anticipated) light of the Spring Equinox to the golden warmth just before summer arrives, this is a time of awakening, growth, fertility, creativity, and courage.

In the Northern Hemisphere, spring typically begins around March 19–21 and ends around June 19–21. During this time, we move through powerful zodiac seasons, celebrate sabbats, and experience New and Full Moons that can gently guide our intentions and releases.

Let’s walk through the magic of the entire season together.

The Astrological Flow of Spring

Spring carries us through three zodiac seasons, each building upon the last.
