- Light and dark are in balance.
- Dormant energy stirs.
- New life is on the verge of blooming.
Growing up, I never paid much attention to seasonal shifts, but over time, I started to notice how different I felt depending on the time of year. Winter made me introspective. Summer brought joy. But spring? Spring made me believe again.
Why Spring Energy Aligns with Goal-Setting
After a season of slowing down, spring invites you to wake up—with clarity and energy. It’s like your inner world has been under a soft blanket, and now, you’re ready to stretch, stand tall, and move forward.
1. Nature Supports Your Growth
Have you ever noticed how the first crocus peeking through snow can make you smile? There’s a reason for that—we’re wired to bloom with nature. When you set goals in spring, you’re aligning with the rhythms of the earth. Just like the flowers, you’re meant to emerge now.
Last year, I planted a few literal seeds in my garden on the Equinox—and journaled goals I wanted to “grow” in myself too. Every week, as the sprouts pushed through, I felt more connected to my own progress.
2. Winter Reflection Becomes Spring Action
Winter gave you time to slow down and reflect. Now, spring helps you act on those insights. For me, this meant finally launching a creative project I’d been quietly planning all winter. Something about the Equinox gave me permission to begin.
3. More Sunlight = More Motivation
Thanks to increased sunlight, our bodies produce more serotonin and vitamin D. It’s no wonder people feel more hopeful and energized this time of year. You’re not just imagining it—you actually have more physical capacity to take action now.
Astrological Magic: Aries Season Sparks Courage
The Equinox kicks off Aries season, the first sign of the zodiac—and honestly, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
Aries is bold, passionate, and fearless. It doesn’t second-guess. It starts. And while I’ve never been super into astrology, I can’t deny how much more confident I feel during this season. There’s a quiet, powerful fire that builds inside—and it makes even the scariest dreams feel doable.
When I launched my side hustle during Aries season two years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. But Aries energy doesn’t care about being perfect—it just cares that you begin.
How To Use Spring Equinox Energy To Go After Your Goals
Want to use this season to create real, meaningful change? Here are some rituals and practices that have helped me—and might help you too.
1. Create A Spring Equinox Ritual
Mark the day with intention. It doesn’t need to be fancy. Light a candle, make tea, step outside barefoot, and take a few deep breaths. Ask yourself:
- What am I ready to leave behind?
- What do I want to grow this season?
2. Journal With the Season
Write about what you want to see blossom in your life over the next 3 months. Use springtime metaphors:
- What seeds are you planting?
- What weeds need pulling?
- What needs more light?
Personally, I use green ink for this—it just feels earthy and alive. Silly? Maybe. But it helps me feel connected.
3. Spring Clean Your Goals
Just like your closet, your goals need decluttering. Toss the ones that no longer fit. Keep the ones that still excite you. Add a few that reflect the you you’re becoming—not just the one you used to be.
4. Align With the Elements
Spring is associated with the element of Air in many traditions. Air is clarity, breath, thought. It’s time to speak your dreams aloud, brainstorm, and get your ideas moving.
I like to do breathwork or go on a walk in the wind—it helps me literally “air out” my worries and feel connected to new beginnings.
Real-Life Examples: Goals I’ve Set on the Equinox
Some of my favorite personal milestones started on the Spring Equinox:
- 2021: I committed to daily yoga—and stuck with it for 90 days.
- 2022: I started freelancing, one pitch at a time.
- 2023: I finally took my novel draft seriously and committed to finishing a chapter a week.
- 2024: I learned to say “no” more often so I could say “yes” to what mattered.
None of these happened overnight. But each began with one choice, made during the shift of the season. That’s the power of spring—it gives you enough light to see the next step.
A Loving Reminder: You Don’t Need to Hustle
This season isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s not about overhauling your entire life or suddenly becoming a productivity machine. It’s about gentle, consistent movement.
Like a sprout, you don’t need to explode into existence. You just need to emerge—a little at a time.
Your Time to Bloom
So here we are, standing at the edge of a new season. The light is returning. The earth is waking up. And so are you.
Whether your goal is big (launch a business) or soft (find more peace in your day), the Spring Equinox is your reminder that it’s okay to begin again. To dust off dreams. To believe in magic—just a little bit.
If you’re feeling that spark, lean in. Write the thing. Start the project. Sign up for the class. Call the mentor. Take the walk. Speak the dream.
It’s your time to bloom.
