The actual Equinox is on Friday March 20 at 10:46 am.
.
There is some preparation involved that you do at home prior to the ceremony. Please, check out ‘what to create’ below and take some time with it. The preparations are part of the feeding of the spirit world and deepen the work we do so we can reap the most benefits from it as well. It also shows a commitment to walking a different path as it takes some effort, which is noticed in the other world.
.
Gathering time at 12:45 PM, making sure you leave enough time to hike/walk to the site so we can start in time. We will be be at the Gathering space or the Landing depending on the conditions.Please, join us in the annual Vernal Equinox, which is an outdoors event, to midwife us and the earth into the new era. As the world, as we know it, collapses, we focus our compassionate heart on the world we envision, based in love and oneness. This is a time of accelerated awakening that we have been waiting for, when we take responsibility for what we create with our thoughts, words, feelings, and actions. We are moving into the era of the heart that will be our compass. We are totally held in this process by the movement of the stars, planets, comets, and the guidance of the Galactic beings.

Tucked in a thick winter gown, with a deep freeze cracking her bones, and silenced her veins, Mother received her undisturbed dreaming time to sort, sift, renew, regenerate, and integrate all the updates she received that have been shifting her consciousness. Held in the beams of the sun who hurled his colorful streaks of light in the dark of the night that descended like kisses upon her, she readies herself. Pregnant with seed she begins her labor as the sun holds her unwaveringly in his loving gaze. Determined to see their love unfold in the breaking of the water and the cracking of her skin and witness this holy moment of life returning.
.
We are in an amazing and intense shift right now, as the energies are lining up, announcing a new beginning. Things are going to accelerate rapidly as old ways of being are shed. The year of the introspective wood-snake has ended, we are shedding the last vestiges of our mind centered egoic existence and move into the heart, expressing compassion, love, and deep connection to all of life. The solar eclipse on the 17th of February marked a new era with the year of the Fire-horse, galloping into the future towards freedom, transformation, perseverance, passion, speed, and bold action. Feeling light, without the heavy skin of an old way of being, it dashes off. Know what you want to manifest in your life, so you gallop into the right direction and do not kicked off its back. It is a time to be centered, as this fire is a yang fire, connected with the sun and also with our heart. You want to come from a balanced heart, and this heart is awakening now. There is also the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at zero degrees of Aries, as these two planets hold opposite qualities, Saturn can bring structure to the ideals, imagination, and creativity of Neptune, it supports us in actualizing our dreams, with maturity, responsibility, and integrity. Aries is the sign of action and desire. This conjunction has not happened in 6000 years when the Kali Yuga started. The Kali Yuga was our descend in our deepest egoic expression and separation that brought on the downfall of Atlantis, where we fell from grace and created the core wound of the collective. The feelings of shame and guilt, victimhood and martyrdom surfaced, that set us on a trajectory of self-doubt and unworthiness. We are in a place we could make an evolutionary leap in consciousness as we arrive at place where our survival is at stake and do not have the time to slowly evolve another 3000 years to get beyond this point. Once we make the shift within grace quickly enters. We now move into the time of remembering, who we are, remembering the ways of the earth, remembering living from the balanced divine feminine and masculine within ourselves, remembering ancient ways of healing and restoring balance within our body and the earth, remembering our wholeness, divinity, and oneness. The planets are lining up as well as a lot of the outer planets move into fire and air signs reflecting speed and sudden changes, creating a restless quality.
In the Dagara cosmology of West Africa we are in a water year, which brings clarity, flow, and we may encounter rapids and more floods this year. At the same time, it connects us with the rising of the Divine Feminine, and the sensuality of our bodies. The Earth is going through her birthing process and there will be shaking and ruptures as birthing is always a breaking out of an old skin. This is a time of great expansion, the seed bursts out of its limiting shell having dreamed its new existence and is ready to move into the light and bring it into a tangible reality. We are coming out of the chrysalis state to become the butterfly, flying with playful joy on our wings of freedom. The deepest shift is within, as within so without, through which we actualize the change without, towards a vision of the new Earth. We enter into resurrection, of the Divine Feminine, of claiming our lost parts, and ancient gifts of our Divine blueprint and with it comes a death, an ending of an old way of being and era, and it will feel right and complete.
On the third of March there is a powerful total lunar eclipse, which is our choice point. Where do we focus our energy? It is a reset to come into the full intelligence of the Divine that is you.
The last pass of 3I/Atlas activating Jupiter, the planet of expansion and exaltation happens on the 18th/19th of March at the time of the new moon. All leading us into this powerful Equinox.

The Vernal Equinox is rapidly approaching which is always a powerful gateway where the sun rises opposite from where it sets, where night and day, matter and spirit, yin and yang create a short-lived moment of balance. It announces the return of Spring, the awakening of nature, and resurrection of life. It is the season of activation, change, acceleration, and transformation as a quickening propels life forward in rapid succession, returning the blush upon Mother’s face again. It is a vulnerable time as the young life gets tempered by the challenges of weather patterns and everybody’s need to eat to expand and strengthen life. In the process all seeks balance and harmony.

Divination results and intention: :
.
We are in major transformation. All the nature items are home in the realm of nature, which is the element of change and transformation and it is happening now, and the fire stone is in the midst of that, which indicates rapid transformation. The nature items are about the change in identity of the collective that is happening now, shapeshifting as we shift dimensions, that allow us to go beyond our limitations and shed old skins, returning to our true nature/essential identity, and give vitality and life to it. Rapid healing occurs as we shed the layers. The means is in community through the coherence of our compassionate heart that sparks the transformation for the shift to occur.
It allows for the release of our collective wound going back into the waters, that carry the memory of the trauma of the fall of Atlantis and Lemuria. Through the healing of our ancient roots connected to the water, the emotional realm, the gifts of these ancient civilizations are returning and the water becomes coherent. We are in the flow of water; the relationship ring is empty, as we gather the lost parts of ourselves and emerge purified and renewed from the water, lifting us into our freedom, supported by a lot of resources.
The divine feminine is coming on board again. She rises from the water, knowing the oneness of life; the Sabian symbol for the Saturn conjunct Neptune in zero degrees of Aries is a woman rising from the ocean and a seal embraces her. She will come with her creative ideas, wisdom, and remembering the blue print of our ancient gifts through the expressive qualities of the balanced divine feminine and masculine.
We have been in the womb space, a cocoon, and chrysalis stage. Incubation time is coming to completion. In the center of the spread lies the mountain, the point of stillness holding the zero point. This refers to greatness and the sacred mountains, whose portals are opening for a greater influx of energies that are entering and arising from the earth. There is a strong support from the galactic family to dissolve the old structures, forms, and paradigms. Be the mountain, hold your center, be still, enter the zero point. The higher self, rising from the deep water of our soul and reflecting our wholeness, connects through the mountain in the center with our ego-self, outside the realm of fire. Our feet are put to the fire and the fire is so bright, those who resist the journey and want to stay in control will be consumed by it, but do not be afraid as it may feel we are falling off the cliff; there is a lot of support from the realms of light to guide us to embrace the brightness we are. There is support from the mineral realm as well to return to a balanced divine feminine and masculine centered in ancient knowing, remembering, and creative expression.

What to bring and prepare :
.
– Please, get a colorful single strip of natural decomposable fabric of 1 yard long and 2-3 inches wide. This is your umbilical cord that ties you to your values that are in the sphere of your influence. Write on it your values in the order of importance. This is the umbilical that feeds you, where you hold your sense of self and worth. It will feed you more when you uphold your values, if they are in the right order. You will know when you look at it what is the right order in how you value yourself. Just observe how it shows up, do not change it. It is something for you to look at.
.
– Please, get a darker piece of natural decomposable easy tearing fabric that represents your old skin of about 1 yard long and about 12 to 15 inches wide which color is still light enough that you can write on and see it. This represents your old skin, of our limited self. It is the collective skin as well, that we inherited from our fall from grace. Questioning our worthiness still comes up, rooted in shame, guilt, victimhood, and martyrdom. Any time we compare, see the source of ourselves outside of us, and outsource a lot of things, we give our power away and we find ourselves questioning our worth. Look at your umbilical with the values and go through the list, watch the order as well. Where did you go against your values that caused you to feel guilt, a martyr, unworthy, and betray yourself. When you go against someone else’s perceived value, you feel shame and victimhood, but if you know that you did not go against your own value, that shame and victimhood would dissolve. Where do you still notice you give your power away by comparing yourself and seeing the source of you outside of yourself? How did this old skin serve me?
Use symbols or words to decorate this old skin.
.
– Please, bring 7 seeds. We have entered the fire horse year ready to move forward, the Neptune/Saturn conjunction in zero degrees of Aries starting a whole new era of rising consciousness through imagination while grounding it, and a total lunar eclipse of a major choice point as how we move forward, and have the last pass of 3I/Atlas activating Jupiter, the planet of expansion on the 19th of March. Lots of forward motion to give birth to something new, something that has been awakening in you. Gifts that have been dormant in you, even from eons ago, that are ready to come into the light.
.
– Please, bring Spring flowers that are open.
.
– Please, bring a lightweight dark blanket for ritual purpose. .
.

.
