G E N E S I S —
Based on my research, on the days of the equinox — one in March and another in September — the celestial equator is in perfect alignment with the sun. This signifies that all the influences upon the planet are at equilibrium.
The Spring Equinox always takes place around March 20 or 21. At this point in time, the Sun crosses the celestial equator and moves north. In the Northern Hemisphere the spring equinox arrived on March 20, 2023 at 5:24 P.M. EST this year.
As the Earth is coming alive again, we can focus on our own awakening. As the dark months pass behind us, we expand and welcome warmth and the fresh fires of new beginnings cyclically. This is an excellent time to prioritize moderation and balance, with the day and night in total alignment.
The Earth's tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees causes the most direct sunlight to fall on the Southern Hemisphere during the astronomical winter and on the Northern Hemisphere during the astronomical summer.
