Something feels different in March. The air shifts a little. The sun lingers longer than it did last week. Birds start to return, and the ground smells different after it rains. The land is waking up, and so are we.

This month invites a soft kind of paying attention. Noticing what’s been right in front of us. The small things that are easy to miss, like new growth in the garden or how your body feels when the light changes. There’s no pressure to do anything big. This is more about being present. Letting yourself be curious again. Letting your senses take the lead.

You might feel like cleaning something out, like your space or your mind. You might feel like trying something you haven’t done in a while. You might just want to move a little differently through your day. That’s all part of it. The season is shifting. And something in you is too.

Reflect gently with these questions:

• What feels light or playful right now, even in small ways?

• What are my senses picking up that I haven’t noticed before?

• Where do I feel a little more awake?Seasonal Energy in March

March marks the arrival of early spring. You might still feel the edges of winter, but the season is turning. There’s a shift in the soil, in the light, in how your body feels during the day. Life is stirring. Buds are swelling. Birds are returning. This is the month when nature begins to stretch awake again.

The Spring Equinox, or Ostara, falls on March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s one of the eight festivals in the Wheel of the Year and is known as a time of balance, when day and night are equal in length. Traditionally, this day celebrates renewal, fertility, and the return of life to the land. It’s associated with seeds, eggs, fresh shoots, and the gentle energy of growth beginning again.

This point in the year invites you to plant something, literally or symbolically. You might be feeling the urge to begin something new, to return to something playful, or to tend to something you want to grow in the coming months. The Spring Equinox reminds us that the light is returning, and that the Earth is ready to meet us where we are, one small step at a time.
