Spring has well and truly sprung and the Spring Equinox — known in the witchy community as Ostara — is here to welcome fresh energy and honour our growth.
Interestingly, the celebration of balance coincides with Libra Season, aka the sign of balance. Coincidence? I think not!
It also comes just days after Eclipse Season wrapped up for 2025 with a Solar Eclipse in Virgo.
In other words, the Spring Equinox is a welcome and well-timed seasonal shift and today’s energy marks a new beginning for us all.
Read on for everything you need to know…
What is the Spring Equinox aka Ostara?
In Wicca, the Spring Equinox is one of the eight Sabbats on the Wheel of the Year. What are Sabbats, I hear you ask? They’re the witchy holidays that celebrate the Wheel of the Year and the seasons, such as the Winter Solstice and Beltane.
It’s that cosmic moment when day and night stand in perfect balance, a portal of harmony, transition, and renewal. Spiritually, it represents the midpoint between the dark of winter and the full light of summer. It’s a celebration of balance, fertility, and the renewal of life, a time to find your own balance and flow with the shift into the brighter half of the year.
When does it fall?
The traditional date for the Spring Equinox is September 21, but the technical date in 2025 for Aussies is September 23.
Both dates (and the days surrounding them) are all classified as being part of the Spring Equinox, so take your pick and practice Equinox celebrations with your coven (or solo if you’re a solitary witch) whenever you like!
How do I celebrate the Spring Equinox? Any spells and rituals?
Glad you asked!
Here are some traditional ways to celebrate the Spring Equinox:
- Dress up your altar with spring vibes – think fresh flowers, pastel shades, eggs, and little tokens of balance.
- Plant seeds not just for your garden, but as a ritual to manifest what you want to grow in your life.
- Do a spring cleanse (yes, spiritually and literally) to shake off winter’s heaviness and make space for new energy.
- Get outside, soak up the sun, and feel the earth’s energy buzzing back to life.
Happy Spring Equinox, witches!
