Spring is here again.
The arrival of the vernal equinox the point in the earth s circular pathway around the sun when the sun crosses the celestial equator, and day and night are of equal length reminds us of the beauty of our mother earth. In the wheel of the year, the equinox is the point of perfect balance between day and night, light and dark, winter and summer, inner and outer. The equinox is where balance is achieved and separations dissolve. In Iranian tadition, the equinox is also called Now-Rooz or New Day. Both of these traditions are times for fertility festivals celebrating the rebirth of the Earth and ensuring the fullness of summer.
