The Promise of Spring

The Spring or Vernal Equinox occurred this month on March 20th, ushering in new hope, strength and dynamic energy. Can you feel it? A wonderful time to relax, communing with Mother Nature and noticing the archetypes prevalent in the world around us. Contemplate the symbols and signs associated with Spring: birth, nurturance, awakening, transformation from a bleak colorless landscape to lush green and multicolored flora. Ah, Spring! The very thought of it makes one's body want to relax, dally, and fill it's lungs full of warmed fresh air and ions. The gentle rains wash away the turmoil and hardship and bring a promise of new opportunities and experiences.

You've probably heard the term, "Spring Fever." Have you ever taken the time to actually enjoy it though? Not to be dismissed as some frivolous energy, this pseudo-mania initiated by the turn of the seasons is actually an empowering surge that can unleash new-found creativity, intimacy, and renewed relationships. Share your fervor with someone you love and see what sparks and wee fires of delight you can fan together. This should be a time of joy and a renewed sense of youth. Nothing to scoff about!

This is the natural time to enjoy longer days and shorter nights. The very universe around you is inviting you to become more active, more physical, more present, more aware. It inundates you with amazing stimuli to awaken your senses and sharpen your perceptions. This is also the time for "Spring Cleaning" - time to spruce up your home, your body, your work space and your life in general. Adopt a penchant for "newness" and "change" and open your life to receive the riches and promises symbolized by this sacred time of year.


Strength


The tarot card that matches the spring energy now is Strength . Strength is the 11th trump card of the Major Arcana. It is a card of Leo, indicating fortitude, charisma and power. This is the major card of Will, Purpose, and Beating the Odds. This is an extremely powerful card, signifying your ability to cope with and overcome any problems that are dogging your life and stealing your peace of mind. It helps you to face them with determination, courage and preseverance. It also helps you to control negative feelings of jealousy, anger, spite and to channel these emotions into more positive channels. It brings you through the trials to enjoy days filled with joy and contentment as well as true happiness.
