We welcome in the Equinox & astrological New Year 20th March 2025 @ 7:01pm AEST when the sun moves into the tropical fire sign of Aries ☉♈︎
A magickal element of rich storytelling is always present in the ancient myths to commemorate the equinox gateways.
In the Greek pantheon, Persephone disappears into the underworld during the autumn equinox, where she remains for six months.
Many of us have probably experienced the "dark night of the soul" a metaphor of the symbolic underworld, where we visit to discover a fresh perspective as the wheel of the year turns.
We meet our dark other side when we are down in the underworld. We must perform shadow work here to fully comprehend the kaleidoscope of our identities and who we truly are.
We encounter both the light and the shadow sides of ourselves, along with any aspects we might not find appealing or desirable.
During this transpersonal process around agency of self, we experience an integration with the golden shadow.
In the myth, Persephone rises from the Underworld on the Spring Equinox, and we too celebrate her return to Mother Earth with wisdom and grace for the next cycle.

Northern Hemisphere - Spring Equinox.
Southern Hemisphere - Autumn Equinox.
As the spiral of life turns, this is the time to take a step back from the challenges that present in everyday life as we create spaciousness to reflect on the changing seasons.
Much love from the deep, wild woods..
