Why the Spring Equinox is the Perfect Time to Reclaim Your Purpose

Sep 02, 2025

The Spring Equinox is more than just a change in season—it’s an invitation from nature itself to align with balance, renewal, and purpose. As the light and dark meet in equal measure, we are reminded of the harmony that exists when opposites dance together: endings give birth to beginnings, and cycles close so that new ones may unfold.

This moment in the wheel of the year carries powerful themes of fertility, rebirth, and fresh opportunities. It is the season of planting seeds—not only in the soil of the earth but in the soil of our spirit. What do you wish to cultivate? Which ideas, dreams, or intentions are ready to be nurtured into bloom?

September, the ninth month, amplifies this energy. In numerology, the number 9 represents wisdom, spiritual fulfillment, and completion. It’s a time to reflect on the lessons of the past, honor the cycles that are ready to close, and prepare for the fertile new beginnings ahead. This is the invitation of the Spring Equinox: to awaken from dormancy and step forward with clarity into growth.

For our community at The Ankara Academy, this season beautifully aligns with our upcoming Module 3: Intermediate Shamanism Retreat. As we gather to deepen our intuitive connections—working with plant allies, ancient healers, and freeing what has been trapped—we, too, honor the rhythms of nature and the cycles within ourselves.

This Equinox, we invite you to pause and reflect:
🌱 What in your life feels ready to be released?
🌱 What new seeds of purpose are calling to be planted?
🌱 How will you embrace balance as you step into your next phase?

The Spring Equinox is a reminder that your purpose is not lost—it is waiting, like a seed beneath the soil, ready to sprout when given light and intention. This is the time to reclaim it.
