Today marks the astrological begining of Spring. Day and Night are equall and from here to autumn equinox, we'll have more day than night in our daily 24 hours. It's also the celebration of Ostara, a feast of life, as the Sun heats the days and the plants are being bolder and bolder stripping from the raw colors worn in winter, to take on the lively, fresh greens of the season.
As the celebrations before were about planning and preparing for the work of the year, Ostara is about starting the actual job. The lands have been ploughed (or plowed, if you prefer the American way of writing), and it's time to work the land, plant the seed, welcome the new life. It's time for new beginings, but not that usual, regular planning and dreaming, but a new life and a new begining all about doing.
Have you planned on losing weight? Well, this is the time to celebrate that you won't go around planning, reading books and downloading recipes from the Internet. Today is the day to start it, to put on your snickers and go out move, do some exercise, burn calories. Stop pondering what diet will you follow, and push your snacks back on the shelve, pull forward the healthy food and make it happen.
Have you planned on getting a new job? Well, no more planning! Check on job options, fill some applications, go to interviews and do your best! Or if you are working already but want to move up, or move to another position, start moving your chips! Opportunities don't just fall on your lap by you dreaming about them! Come on! Make thigs happen!
Whatever you want, whatever you wish for, Ostara reminds you that it's time to put some muscle behind your dreams, some action behind your words and bring on the Spring in your life. This is the time.
