Astronomical and Meteorological Spring or Fall

In most parts of the world, we define the seasons in two ways. By the Astronomical or Meteorological dates. Astronomical seasons refer to the position of Earth’s orbit in relation to the sun taking into account equinoxes and solstices. Meteorological seasons are instead based on the annual temperature cycle and measure the meteorological state as well as coinciding with the calendar to determine a clear transition between the seasons. ~ MetOffice-UK

The Solstices and Equinoxes are considered to be the astronomical transition points between the seasons. Because they are connected to the Sun and Moon, they were important times to early Pagans.

Of course in the old days, our ancestors didn’t have the benefit of the Naval or Royal Observatories and Satellites to mark the exact second of the Equinox. They relied on Astronomical monuments, like Stonehenge as an example to tell them when the sun was nearing an equinox.

We have the benefit of technology and hundreds of years of study to help us out today.
The March equinox happens at the same moment across the world but is converted to local time. In 2015, it falls on March 20 at 6:45 P.M. EDT, 5:45 P.M. CDT, 4:45 P.M. MDT, and 3:45 P.M. PDT, for example. ~ Farmer’s Almanac Continue reading →

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

You may need to turn a few things upside down in order to get them working. Don’t panic. It’s not a big deal, only a small inconvenience. But it will provide you with a new perspective and way of looking at things. You’ll be able to see things in a new light and make some amazing discoveries that will bring beneficial results. Keep an open mind and allow the renewed energy of spring to flow into your weekend. Time to celebrate the rebirth of Mother Nature.

Additional Insight:

If you’ve been struggling with things, the best thing to do is turn them upside down and look at them from a different perspective. You’ll find answers and clues to what’s really going on right before your eyes. Take away the confusion and hone in on the clog in the wheel.

But don’t ignore that new-found vision with rose-colored glasses. You can’t fix what’s wrong if you’re not willing to see it first. Be honest with yourself and allow the information to present itself for your own good. You’ll probably discover things are as bad as you were afraid they were, or imagined them to be.

You’ll be able to shine a light onto old situations and make some new discoveries. You’ll have an opportunity to overcome old issues that have been worrying you more than they should. And you could even find that special treasure you’ve been looking to discover.

Putting things on their head isn’t always a bad thing. You’ve simply gotten used to seeing the hardship and struggle. Time to relax and have a little fun. Things are in the works and the energy you’re generating will work in your favor before you know it! So align yourself with that positive Divine force in your life. Celebrate the shifting winds of the season. Whither you’re in the North at the beginning of spring or in the South welcoming the snow, change is the one constant you can count on. Flow with it and you’ll have a great time enjoying the ride.
