Equinox is not just an astronomical point. It is a moment when the fabric of reality itself becomes perfectly balanced. Day and night stand equal, light and darkness facing each other… and neither wins. This is not about light overcoming darkness. It is about their union. This is your internal balance... About your inner alignment... to start YOUR path in accordance with YOUR Dharma...  Will you start living now with that clarity? or you will continue resisting another cycle? 

The spring equinox always marks a beginning. Not a superficial, calendar kind of beginning, but a deep permission to live. At this moment, the Sun crosses the celestial equator. For the ancients, this was a gateway. Not just a movement of planets, but a passage from the underworld into the world of the living, from sleep into awakening, from the inner into the manifested.

It is a zero point. A threshold where the old has already dissolved, and the new has not yet taken form. And that is why it carries such power for intention.

Across ancient traditions, this moment was never seen as neutral. It was alive with meaning.

In one story, the Goddess returns. Persephone rises from the underworld. Inanna ascends after being stripped of everything she thought she was. This is not simply “spring arriving.” This is the return of a woman (or a man) who has passed through darkness and comes back changed. The equinox becomes the moment when the soul chooses life again.

In another image, there is the cosmic egg. A symbol found in Egypt, in druidic traditions, in alchemy. An egg that can stand upright only in perfect balance. Not as a trick, but as a sign. The world itself is in equilibrium. The egg holds potential, hidden life, something not yet visible but already real. It is the quiet knowing that what is meant for you already exists, even if you cannot yet see its form just yet.

Then there is fire and fertility. The festival of Ostara, where hares, eggs, and flames represent the raw force of life awakening. Not a gentle spring, but a surge of energy rising from the earth and through the body. Desire, creation, movement, connection. Life insisting on itself!!! Whether you like it or not.... 

And there is also Ma’at, the Egyptian principle of truth and balance. Ma’at holds the scales.... A human heart is weighed against the feather of truth... 

The equinox carries the same moment. Not a judgment from the outside, but one that arises within.

Where are you not being honest with yourself?
Where are you living a life that does not belong to you?
Where are you still holding onto a past that has already died?

This moment does not bring comfort. It brings clarity.

You may feel a strange sharpness, a pull toward change, a quiet exhaustion with old roles, or a sudden need for truth, even if it disrupts everything. Because the equinox does not soften reality. It reveals it. And deeper than all symbols, this is the real essence. 

The equinox is not about choosing light. It is not about rejecting darkness.

It is the moment where you stop choosing between them and begin to hold both... Because you ARE both... You are the Saint and the Greatest Sinner... Where you can be soft and destructive, loving and honest, open and guarded, alive and vulnerable. Not in conflict, but in wholeness. 

From that balance, something new is born.

And this time, I am not rushing to define it. I am not forcing it into shape or into words.

After a short trip to Watercolor, Santa Rosa Beach with kids, where I thanked Pacha Mama and Her water of life for all the gifts, this weekend I am going to the forest. Into silence... Into my own rituals... Into a space where nothing is demanded of me, and nothing needs to be explained.

I will be there with myself, with everything that is ending and everything that is quietly beginning. Not as performance, not as a story for anyone else, but as something lived, felt, and allowed. 

This is where I meet myself again.
