Hello plant friends, wildflowers and lovers of everything green, In the Northern Hemisphere, we have been moving gently past Imbolc and its Gaelic whisperings of new beginnings, towards the Vernal Equinox and with this progression comes a quickening that is urging us into action. The Vernal Equinox marks the sun’s entry into Aries and with it begins a new astrological cycle marked with the promise of new beginnings. This is the time of increasing warmth and light, instilling within everything in Nature a sense of creative action and movement. We begin to awaken more fully from our deep, winter slumber. We hear louder murmurings and promises of rebirth; literally seeing these signs in our immediate natural environment as we watch the courageous pasque flowers (Pulsatilla patens), or the delicate buttercups and shooting stars (Ranunculus glaberrimus and Primula meadia, respectively) showing quiet signs of life reborn as they patiently, and with determination, push themselves through the still-cold soils and upward toward the warmth and growing light, never faltering with their urge to Be. We, too, are being urged to move upwards toward the warmth and light. Even if we don’t yet know what it is stirring within us, we are urged upwards and onwards with the same conviction and urgency as the wildflowers. This is a time to ask ourselves: What is beginning to awaken within? What do I hope to see come to fruition during this season of growth and manifestation? What creative force is urging me to take action? These new beginnings do not have to be grand. Perhaps the more humble and quiet they are, the more meaningful they will be. So, take Aries hand-in-hand with courage and conviction as the cardinal fires urge you forward, embracing the desire for growth. But go gently, my little wildflowers. We have many warming and lengthening days ahead of us to manifest whatever is within. And most importantly, be patient with yourself and whatever you may have been nurturing within your soul through Winter's long, dark, cold days. Embrace the essence of that patient and resilient wildflower. Embrace you. Your time to bloom is coming. xo Jennie Y
