Find Out What the Spring Equinox Means for Your Zodiac Sign
The spring equinox and astrological new year are here, creating a portal of potential. If you didn’t know there was another new year to celebrate, welcome to the cosmic party!
The zodiac calendar begins with Aries season (March 20 – April 20) and completes with Pisces season (February 20 – March 20). Throughout these twelve months, we experience all four elements, the expansion and contraction of the zodiac signs, and the phases of the moon.
Aligned with the start of Aries season – the astrological new year – we also have the spring equinox, aka Vernal equinox. Celebrated and revered across cultures and continents for millennia, the spring equinox signals the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
This is a time of renewal and rebirth, but also death. You can’t have the dark without the light!

What the Spring Equinox and Astrological New Year Mean
Aries, the youngest and most eager sign of the zodiac, represents new beginnings and the element of fire. Just as the world is waking back up from a cold winter, Aries season comes in to ignite and stoke the flame to guide the path ahead.
Ever the eager Ram, Aries is a sign of power, strength, confidence, will power, leadership, and naivety. Ruled by Mars, the planet of war, Aries is not afraid to charge ahead into the unknown on a crusade of the soul. Aries has a ton of energy, ideas, confidence, and gusto.

With the thaw of winter receding and the light returning, we must first pass through the tipping point, the portal of balance known as the spring equinox. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, equinox translates from the “Latin words aequi, which means “equal,” and nox, which means “night.” The vernal equinox is considered the first day of spring: finally, the day and night are of equal length.
This portal of balance helps us move between two worlds with grace and compassion. We are in the bliss of duality on the equinox, fully balanced between darkness and light. Just like the yin yang, we are not whole without both. We all have a shadow side.
The vernal equinox is considered the first day of spring: finally, the day and night are of equal length.
This is a time to begin! To take the lessons of the dark winter forward into the light. To become the person of your dreams as you take off the cloak of who you once were. To change gracefully and with wisdom as you burn away what no longer aligns.
Change can be uncomfortable, as it’s shrouded in the unknown, but it’s in those uncomfortable in-between places that you truly get to know yourself and are reminded of your why.
Bloom with Mother Nature! You are being given the most fertile soil to start something new, go down a different path, make lasting changes, and follow your intuition.
What the Spring Equinox Means for Your Zodiac Sign
This spring equinox, there’s a bit more to balance than in the recent past. We have two major astrological events happening this spring: Saturn entering Pisces for the first time in 29 years, and Pluto entering Aquarius for the first time in 245 years.
Saturn is the planet of structure and discipline, while Pisces is the sign of boundless freedom. Tension point #1 has entered the chat. Additionally, Pluto in Aquarius will challenge the status quo of tech, which we’ve already seen in the rise of AI and electric vehicles.
If you were born during the years of 1993-1996, you’re embarking on your Saturn Return, which can feel pretty tense at times.
All of this is to say that while spring is most definitely a rebirth, this particular spring equinox and season carries some extra lessons with it. But, all planets are direct until April 21, so get up and get moving on your goals!
Aries
The sun is shining on you, dear Aries! Happy Birthday! The spring equinox and the spring season is your time to shine, take up space, and make moves on that idea that was swimming around in your heart all of Pisces season. You now have the energy and vision to take action. Start the fires of your idea and allow your passion and purpose to stoke the flame as it grows and glows.
Taurus
Welcome back, Taurus. You may feel like you’ve been in a dreamy slumber or hibernating the past few months. It’s time to stretch your legs, get some fresh air, and reconnect with your driving purpose. You know what you’re here to do and the light of Aries season will give you the energy to get sh*t done! And yes, you are worthy!
