Day and night in perfect balance, with light about to overtake dark. Eostre's festival—goddess of spring and dawn whose symbols (eggs, hares) became Easter imagery. The god and goddess are young. Seeds planted now will grow. The time for planning is over—now we act.
Modern Practice
Plant literal and metaphorical seeds. Begin projects planned at Imbolc. Decorate eggs as symbols of potential. Balance rituals acknowledging dark and light within self. Spring cleaning completing Imbolc purification. This is the green light—go.
Balance precedes growth. From equilibrium, expansion. What you plant now grows through summer. The fool steps forward. Action is no longer premature—it is required.
