March 20 marks a pivotal moment in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Sun crosses the Equator. Winter’s decay gives birth to spring flowers. The Spring Equinox, also known as the Pagan and Wiccan holiday Ostara, offers a moment of celebration and reflection as we welcome a new season, the Sun’s movement into Aries, and the astrological new year.
As Sarah Potter, tarot reader and author of Sober Magic explains, “The Spring Equinox is the moment when the world returns to balance. Day and night are perfectly equal, and the Earth begins to gently wake up after winter’s long rest. Energetically, it carries such a beautiful sense of renewal and hope.” Potter says that “intentions, and creative ideas begin to stir again,” adding that “no matter how long winter may have felt, light is returning and new beginnings are always possible.”
With that in mind, we will be making collective changes and advances that set our visions in motion. This is our chance to believe in the impossible and make it possible. The Earth is blooming, and so are you!
Read below to find out what tarot card speaks to your zodiac sign this spring.
Aries: 4 of Pentacles
You're focusing on building a sense of security for your future. This may mean that you're making smart investments of your energy and money. Being stingy with your time and finances is a form of self-protection and preservation from the psychic vampires around you, so don’t feel guilty about it.
Taurus: The Emperor
Spring is a testimony to setting boundaries with friends and family. You are taking charge and calling the shots about who you're spending time with. If you want some quiet days without dealing with others, you can make it happen by logging off your phone and social media to decompress.
Gemini: Queen of Cups
The empathetic and emotional twin is coming out to play. You’re leading with compassion this season as the shoulder that everyone cries on. When the time comes for your crash-out, you will have plenty of people to call on who will want to reciprocate the sentiment and dry your tears.
Cancer: The Moon
You are projecting too many of your fears, worries, and insecurities onto a relationship or situation. Before you commit to one way of thinking over another, take a step back and listen to your intuition. Your heart will guide you towards doing what feels right for you in the moment.
Leo: King of Swords
Getting to the bottom line is important to you because you're tired of people's excuses. The months ahead indicate you'll be at the top of your game and quick on your feet when making decisions. The only relevant opinion is your own.
Virgo: Temperance
Although you usually take a chill approach to dealing with matters, this season you're especially keen on not going to extremes. Anything or anyone that pushes you to the ultimate limit is going to be put on ice because you don't want to engage in the drama of it all.
Libra: 10 of Wands
Yes, you're crushing hard on someone new. But finding a time to meet up IRL is challenging. It'll be frustrating to make your schedules work, so get creative by planning a rendezvous between classes or a lunch date in the school cafeteria to form a connection that leads you forward.
Scorpio: Ace of Cups
There is a surge of abundance coming to you. Relish the opportunity to attain greatness, as you discover you hold the key to triumph and fulfillment. This season marks the beginning of such awesomeness, so embrace the luck that is coming. Lean it to it tenfold. You got this, Scorpio!
Sagittarius: 5 of Pentacles
Addressing creative obstacles that stand in the way of your success is vital to ensuring you can complete projects you've invested time in. Do not be too proud to ask loved ones for help, as they will be eager to assist. Bounce ideas off of them to get honest feedback.
Capricorn: 9 of Swords
Before taking on the problems of others, put your needs first. To be a good friend, you must ensure that your cup is already filled, then you can offer others a sip of your energy. If not, you'll become overwhelmed and stressed with everyone's problems piling on, including your own.
Aquarius: Page of Wands
You're feeling optimistic for the season ahead, especially since you are letting go of the past and moving into uncharted territory. Something is refreshing about a new beginning—focus on improving your life. Anything is possible. Shoot for the Moon, and if you miss, you'll still land amongst the stars.
Pisces: Wheel of Fortune
You're on an upward cycle, so embrace the positive energy coming. Now and again, things will not turn out how you expected. Don't fret—in the end, you’ll take the road less traveled, putting you on a different path, which might be better than the one you were on.
