Endings & New Beginnings: Vernal Equinox

Sacred Space 69 welcomes this Vernal Equinox in contemplation and celebration.  The Spirit World gives me their kudos as I picked card 23:

Wisdom from Buddha :

We’re here to offer support so that you can keep working smoothly.  Every person has their role, and what’s important is having fun while fulfilling that role.  Be it providing great service, creating art that brings peace of mind, working in transportation - no matter what your job is, this world turns smoothly when people are happy and feel satisfied with their work.  The sun has the vital role of fostering all life on earth, the light of the moon provides humanity with peaceful slumber, and both jobs are equally important.  Be proud of what it is that you do.

- from the Esoteric Buddhism of Japan Oracle Cards guidebook.

It is timely as we welcome more light in our days and our nights get shorter.

 In contemplation, I look back to these past week’s celebrations, St. Patrick’s Day , full moon on Holi , Shab-E-Barat and the welcome of Spring this weekend.  Also, if you are not aware, today is the beginning of the Astrological New Year .  Aries is considered the first sign of the zodiac.

Celebration of the solstices and equinoxes trace its roots to Viking and Celtic lore.

If you’ve been watching The Last Kindgom ,  you know that faith and religion is a prominent plot or storyline.  Today is the feast of Ostara , which comes from the Anglo-Saxon name, Eostre .  If you read up on this folklore, then you’ll finally be able to answer the question, ‘How are easter eggs related to the Resurrection of Christ on Easter?’

 Our rituals and traditions within the context of our religion or culture are not far off from each other’s.  So celebrate in what and how you know that rings true to your being.  Explore these as You welcome your very own Spring .

As we at SS69 welcome this turn of the season, we thank You and continue to honor our Sacred Squad as we all move forward in our growth.  Let’s plant seeds of Light as we Journey on and anew.

 Here’s to Endings and New Beginnings!

In Light and In Love,

Mental health is one of the most important conversations of our time.

Uranus in Gemini (2026–2032): A New Era of Rapid Change

By Angela Valeroso • April 27, 2026
April 25, 2026 marked the beginning of Uranus’ sustained transit through Gemini, a cycle that astrologers associate with major shifts in communication, technology, learning, and how people connect. Uranus represents disruption, innovation, and sudden change. Gemini rules information, language, media, and networks. Together, this transit is often described as a period of unexpected shifts in communication and ideas—a time when the way we think, talk, and share information changes quickly and unexpectedly. On a broader level, this era is linked to rapid advancements in technology, especially in AI, media, and digital communication, along with faster information cycles and new ways of learning and interacting.More
