Spring Equinox 2021: Spiritual Meaning And Rituals For Every Zodiac Sign

Ready for the first day of spring 2021? The spring equinox, which arrives this Saturday, marks the beginning of the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere.

Also called vernal equinox or March equinox, this brings increasing daylight hours, warming temperatures, softer winds and sprouting plants as the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the sun, per Earthsky.org. It's no surprise that the spring equinox is usually viewed as a time of rebirth and growth.

Aside from spring, the vernal equinox also marks the start of the astrological new year. To celebrate the start of spring, here are some rituals each star sign can do, according to Oprah Magazine:

Aries

Those born between March 21 and April 19 shift are advised to focus on themselves rather than on other people this spring equinox. Buying a bouquet of seasonal flowers, a DIY manicure, a candle or whatever one enjoys is a good way to celebrate one's self.

Taurus

Taureans, born between April 21 and May 21, should take this opportunity to breathe and do activities that make them relax. To refresh the mind and decompress, download a meditation app, do light yoga or try other activities that could help one feel more in tune with one's life.

Gemini

For Geminis, or those born between May 22 and June 22, take a step back and work alongside colleagues, friends and family. This will result in a more harmonious relationship, so learn to let go of the steering wheel every now and then and be more open to other people's views.

Cancer

Cancerians, born between June 21 and July 22, are likely focusing on work during this time. But though they may enjoy being productive, Cancerians should take this time to only commit to projects they care about to avoid burning themselves out. The spring equinox is the perfect time to rewire themselves and reevaluate what it is they want to spend time on.

Leo

The wanderlust is strong with Leos more recently. Unfortunately, traveling is difficult nowadays due to the pandemic, but this doesn't mean they can't have a little fun. Set the mood at home by lighting up a few candles and blasting favorite songs, all while enjoying a tall glass of margarita.

Virgo

Spring equinox is synonymous with spring cleaning for Virgos. Now is their chance to declutter living space to make room for new things that spark more joy. This doesn't mean they should throw away everything in the trash, however. They could opt to set up a yard sale or donate some items to charity.

Libra

Love is all around, but that doesn't mean Librans have to jump into a relationship right away. Before doing anything rash, they need to think about what they truly want in a relationship. This way, they would be able to commit fully to anything they decide to invest their time and efforts in. Clarity is key, so they should take their time in figuring out what they really need first.

Scorpio

Scorpios should focus on self-care and putting themselves first during the spring equinox. They should give themselves the needed break they've been depriving themselves of for the longest time and avoid contact with the world if they need to. They can try turning off their phones and living in the moment this spring equinox.

Sagittarius

The spring equinox offers Sagittarians the best time to get in touch with their emotions. They can express their gratitude and appreciation for the people in their life by going out of their way to make their loved ones happy. This could mean writing little handwritten letters, cooking them dinner or just helping them out in whatever small way they can.

Capricorn

For Capricorns, or those born between Dec. 22 and Jan. 20, they should focus on improving their home and making them more comfortable this spring equinox. Stock up on some interior designing books and don't be afraid to emulate the living space you've always dreamed of having. Buy new pillowcases, repaint the walls or rearrange your furniture.

Aquarius

It's about time Aquarians come out of their shell. They can try opening up and reaching out to people they might have unintentionally pushed away. Aquarians should also reflect on how far they've come and welcome nostalgia as a friendly guest that comes and goes.

Pisces

Pisces' Sun, Mercury and Venus are moving into the second house this month -- which signifies finances. During the spring equinox, Pisces should pay close attention to their spending habits and follow a budget plan.

Spring 2021 officially begins at 5:37 a.m. EDT this Saturday. During this time, the sun will be shining directly on the Earth’s equator, bringing almost equal minutes of daylight and darkness around the world.
