Ah, the March Equinox ( and my birthday as it so happens! ) —that magical time when the day and night are in perfect balance, the birds start auditioning for The X Factor, and your allergies remind you that nature is really committed to your personal growth. But beyond the sneezing and the sudden urge to declutter your life (and maybe your soul?), the Equinox is a powerhouse of spiritual energy.

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, spiritually disconnected, or just need an excuse to stand in your backyard and absorb cosmic vibes without your neighbors calling the authorities, this is your moment.

“Out with the old, in with the new! The Equinox marks a powerful shift, letting go of the past and welcoming fresh beginnings. Your world is expanding as new opportunities arise and fresh ideas take shape. This is your ultimate level-up! Embrace this abundant energy and open yourself to the blessings on their way to you!” katie simplot

When is the March Equinox?

The March Equinox isn’t just some woo-woo idea—it’s a real astronomical event that happens every year when the sun is directly above the equator. In the UK, it usually occurs around March 19th, 20th, or 21st.

Here are the upcoming Equinox dates for the next few years:

• 2025: March 20
• 2026: March 20
• 2027: March 20
• 2028: March 20

On this day, no matter where you are in the world, day and night are nearly equal in length. It’s a celestial leveling up, a reset button, and an invitation to align your life with the natural rhythms of the universe.

What’s So Special About the March Equinox?

Twice a year, the Sun decides to play fair and split its time evenly between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This means equal parts light and dark—kind of like your mood before and after coffee.

Ancient civilizations revered the Equinox as a sacred portal to higher consciousness. Druids, Aztecs, and whoever built Stonehenge (seriously, how?) used this celestial event for powerful rituals, offerings, and probably some epic bonfires. Meanwhile, modern society celebrates by changing the clocks and trying to remember where they left their motivation.

But fear not! This is the ultimate reset button for your energy, and I’m about to tell you how to harness it—without sacrificing any small animals or joining a cult (unless that’s your thing, in which case, carry on).

1. Spring Cleaning: For Your House and Your Soul

The Equinox isn’t just about balancing the cosmos—it’s about balancing you. That means it’s time to clear out physical and emotional clutter.

Physical Detox:

• Say goodbye to that pile of “aspirational clothes” you swore you’d fit into by now.
• If you haven’t used it since the last Equinox, donate it.
• Sweep your floors, because dusty energy = dusty vibes.

Spiritual Detox:

• Let go of grudges. You really don’t need that negativity in your aura!
• Journal all the nonsense in your head. If your thoughts are too chaotic, just doodle spirals until enlightenment hits.
• Smudge your space with sage, palo santo, or, if you’re out of both, the closest thing you have (yes, that lavender-scented Febreze counts).

2. Manifest Like a Mystic

The Equinox is prime time for manifestation magic. The veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinner, making it an excellent time to place your cosmic order with the Universe.

How to Manifest Without Looking Like You’ve Lost It:

• Write it down: Be specific! “I want abundance” is vague. “I want £10,000 to fall into my lap via unexpected yet ethical means” is better.
• Visualize: Close your eyes and imagine your dreams coming true. But, you know, realistically.
• Act like you already have it: Want love? Start treating yourself like the partner of your dreams would. Want wealth? Stop hoarding sugar packets from coffee shops.

3. The Great Equinox Energy Bath

No, not a literal bath (though Epsom salts are always a win). This is about soaking up the Equinox energy so you can glow like a freshly charged crystal.

Best Ways to Absorb the Magic:

• Sunbathe for a minute (yes, even if it’s cold—just pretend you’re a lizard).
• Stand barefoot on the ground (grounding—scientists call it earthing, spiritual folks call it a direct download from Gaia).
• Dance like you’re summoning rain (or just stretch if your knees aren’t up for it).

4. Equinox Rituals for the Spiritually Curious (or Just Bored)

If you’re looking for a little extra woo-woo, here are some rituals you can try:

The Egg-Balancing Trick (Yes, Really!)

Legend has it that on the Equinox, you can balance an egg upright due to the Earth’s gravitational alignment. Will this awaken your third eye? Probably not. But it’s a fun way to impress your cat.

Sunrise & Sunset Meditation

Sit quietly at sunrise or sunset and reflect on what you’re letting go of (winter blues, self-doubt, the need to please people who wouldn’t notice if you turned into a literal beam of light) and what you’re welcoming in (joy, creativity, and maybe a decent sleep schedule).

Write a Letter to Your Future Self

Write a note to “Equinox You” six months from now. What do you hope to have accomplished? What advice do you have for Future You? (Maybe something like “Stop procrastinating, drink more water, and don’t text your ex.”)

Plant Something (Even If You Always Kill Houseplants)

The Equinox is a perfect time to plant seeds—literally and metaphorically. Even if you have the opposite of a green thumb, try planting an herb (mint is hard to kill), a flower, or just an intention.

5. The Most Important Rule: Do You

There’s no wrong way to celebrate the Equinox. Some people light candles and chant; others just take a deep breath and promise themselves they’ll try to be less of a stressed-out goblin this season.

Whether you honor this cosmic shift by meditating, planting something (a seed, an idea, the hope that Mercury won’t retrograde anytime soon), or just taking a nap in the sun—know this:

You are renewed. You are in balance. And if all else fails, at least you survived winter.

Happy Equinox, you magnificent being of light! Now go forth and thrive.
