Ways to Celebrate

the Spring Equinox

The 2026 Spring Equinox, or Ostara, falls on March 20. On this day, the
hours of day and night are equal and Springtime is celebrated. Here are
some ways to celebrate!

1. Begin a Garden

Whether in the ground or in pots, planting seeds symbolizes the sun
reemerging after the cold Winter, and the rebirth of the earth.

2. Try to Balance an Egg
Eggs also symbolize fertility and birth. There is a myth that says an egg can

only balanced on it’s end on this day, reflecting the balance of daytime and
nightime hours.

3. Switch Up Your Diet
Winter is great for heartier meals like stew to keep the body warm. As the
weather begins to lighten, switch to vegetable and fruit heavy meals to
reflect the season.

4. Minimalize

Often called Spring Cleaning, this is a wonderful time to purge items that
are no longer needed, to cleanse the home, and the let fresh air flow
through the windows.

5. Honor Eostre

Eostre is a Germanic goddess of Spring. Honor her by wearing or decorating
with light colors, planting a tree or a fruit tree, donating to animal shelters,
giving fresh flowers to loved ones, and if possible, adopt a rabbit!

6. Hold a Small Ritual to Set Intention
During the day of Ostara, either alone or with some friends, write your
intentions for the time of rebirth on an egg. Feel free to paint or color the
eggs as well with symbols of rebirth and growth. Then, bury the egg and

plant seeds above it. As the plant grows, so will your intentions!
