Ostara
The spring equinox
Comes again March 20, 2027
Light and dark in equal measure, then the tilt toward growth.
Light and dark stand level; life spills over.
Ostara falls on the spring equinox, when day and night balance and the green world surges. It is a festival of renewal, fertility, and beginnings that are ready to be acted on.
