Day and night are equal all over the great earth as we enter the spring equinox. We awaken from our winter’s nap and find that spring is here. The ram, Aries, leaps from peak to peak, into our future, landing bravely in the remaining snow. The Sun delights in being in Aries, leaping into the future proclaiming ‘fortune favors the brave.’

The vernal equinox welcomes Jupiter, the fortunate one, and Chiron, the healer, both also in Aries. These two encourage us to develop our unique talents, and ask that we relish our individuality and become more accepting and nurturing of ourselves as we climb the peaks of life.
