The Spring Equinox – The Real New Year’s Day?

The discussion today is the Vernal Equinox and its historical, astronomical, and astrological meaning. The spring equinox, around late March, has historically been considered the start of the year by numerous cultures and belief systems. This celestial event, where day and night are nearly equal, signifies renewal and balance. Ancient Persians celebrated Nowruz, while Romans began their year in March, linking it to Mars and agricultural rebirth. Astrologically, the spring equinox marks the start of Aries season, encouraging bold new beginnings. Even today, this time is often viewed as an opportunity for personal reflection and setting new goals aligned with nature’s regenerative cycle.
