Spring has sprung! Mark your cal: In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox occurs on March 19, 2024. If you want to get official, the spring equinox is exactly at 11:06 PM Eastern Time. Get your spring cleaning on, because today is all about rejuvenation and renewal. As the flowers start to bloom, their fragrance fills the air after a long winter. Ahh.

March 19 not only marks the start of a new season, but also a new astrological year. With the Sun moving into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, you're embarking on a fresh cycle in your life. This is a great time to set goals, start new habits, and reflect on the past year. On the spring equinox, the daylight and moonlight hours are equal, so this is also a time to find balance in your life.

This year, though, Mercury might be changing up your spring equinox plans. On March 18, Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow, preparing for its retrograde journey from April 8 to April 25. Mercury Retrograde is a time to make changes, reimagine your life, and reassess your relationships, so don't be surprised if the pre-shadow throws some surprises your way.
