Simple Ritual:
Create a sacred space with a pink or red candle to represent love and passion. Write a letter of gratitude to the women who have shaped your life—whether they’re family, friends, or historical figures. Focus on the qualities you admire in them and how you can embody those qualities yourself.

March 13: Full Worm Moon in Virgo – Grounding and Letting Go
Harness Virgo’s Energy for Self-Care and Growth
The Full Worm Moon marks the earth’s awakening as life stirs beneath the surface. With Virgo’s practical energy, this lunation invites you to focus on organisation, self-care, and releasing perfectionism to embrace progress.
Astrological Effects:
The Full Moon in Virgo illuminates areas of life that need balance and structure. You may feel drawn to declutter your space, refine daily routines, or reflect on how your habits support your well-being.
Simple Ritual:
Cleanse your space with sage, Palo Santo, or incense. Write two lists: one of habits you’d like to release and another of new routines to establish. Under the moonlight, safely burn the list of old habits to symbolise letting go.

The eclipse amplifies the emotional intensity of the Full Moon, bringing sudden insights or shifts in relationships, career, or beliefs. Though unsettling, it’s an opportunity to realign with your true path.
Simple Ritual:
Write down what you’re ready to release—whether it’s a fear, limiting belief, or toxic relationship. Burn the paper under the night sky and visualise the energy dissolving. Follow with gratitude for the space you’ve created for new blessings.

March 17: St. Patrick’s Day – Honour Irish Heritage and Abundance
Celebrate Resilience and Spiritual Connection
St. Patrick’s Day is a time to embrace the deep-rooted traditions of Ireland, reflecting on the resilience of its people and the spiritual connection to the land. Beyond the modern celebrations of parades and revelry, this day offers an opportunity to reconnect with your heritage, express gratitude for life’s abundance, and honour the enduring spirit of the Irish.
Rituals to celebrate St Patrick's Day:
St Patrick's Day is more than pints of Guinness, bowls of shamrock and green hats. Here are a few suggestions of how to connect with the spiritual aspects of this famous Irish celebration.
1. Prepare Your Altar: Place a green crystal, such as Aventurine (for prosperity) or Malachite (for transformation and healing), on your altar or sacred space. Add elements that resonate with Irish heritage, like a sprig of clover, a small bowl of salt to represent the ocean, or a candle in a green or gold hue.
2. Reflection and Gratitude: Sit quietly in front of your altar and reflect on the blessings in your life. Consider the abundance you already possess—whether it’s love, health, friendships, or opportunities. Write these blessings down in a journal to deepen your sense of gratitude.
3. Sharing Abundance: Think about ways you can share your abundance with others. This could be through a kind gesture, donating to a cause, or simply offering your time to someone in need.
4. Affirmation of Resilience: Close your ritual with an affirmation to honour your own resilience and the resilience of the Irish spirit. For example, “I honour the strength of my heritage and the abundance in my life. I share my blessings freely and welcome prosperity in all its forms.”
Additional Suggestions:
Enjoy traditional Irish foods like soda bread or colcannon to ground yourself in the day’s heritage.
Spend time outdoors to connect with nature, symbolizing Ireland’s lush, green landscapes. Take a walk, meditate in a park, or simply breathe in the fresh air.
Incorporate a moment of silence or prayer to honour those who came before you, acknowledging their strength and perseverance.

March 20: Ostara (Spring Equinox) – Celebrate Balance and Renewal
Plant Seeds for New Beginnings
Ostara, the Spring Equinox, is a powerful moment in the Wheel of the Year when day and night are in perfect balance. It is a time to celebrate the earth’s awakening, fertility, and the renewal of life. As the days grow longer and brighter, this sacred time invites you to plant seeds—both literal and metaphorical—for the opportunities and intentions you wish to cultivate in the months ahead.
Astrological Effects:
The Spring Equinox brings a wave of harmony and inspiration, as the sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Aries energy encourages bold action, creativity, and fresh starts. Use this astrological influence to reflect on areas of your life that need balance, and take intentional steps toward manifesting new beginnings. Embrace this energy to fuel your goals, projects, and personal growth.
Simple Rituals for Ostara:
1. Create a Seed Planting Ceremony:
Gather seeds, soil, and a small pot or garden space. Choose seeds that symbolize growth or abundance to you (e.g., herbs, flowers, or vegetables). As you plant each seed, speak or think of an intention you wish to bring to life. For example, “I plant the seed of creativity,” or “I nurture the seed of love and connection.” Place the pot in a sunny spot and care for it as a physical reminder of your intentions.
2. Balance and Renewal Meditation:
Find a quiet space and sit comfortably. Light a candle to symbolize the balance of light and dark. Visualize the earth awakening beneath you, bursting with life and energy. Imagine this energy rising through you, bringing harmony and renewal to your mind, body, and soul. Reflect on where you can bring more balance into your life, and focus on how you can align your actions with your intentions.
3. Decorate Your Altar for Ostara:
Include symbols of fertility and renewal, such as eggs, flowers, or budding branches. Add pastel-colored candles to represent the light of spring, and crystals like Citrine (for abundance), Rose Quartz (for love), or Amethyst (for balance and clarity).
4. Celebrate with Seasonal Foods:
Honor the season by preparing a meal with fresh, vibrant ingredients like leafy greens, eggs, or honey. Share this meal with loved ones or enjoy it in solitude as a way to connect with the abundance of nature.
Additional Suggestions:
Spend time outdoors to connect with the awakening energy of the earth. Take a mindful walk, listen to the birds, or simply feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Journal about your goals and dreams for the season ahead. Use prompts like “What seeds do I want to plant in my life?” or “How can I embrace renewal and growth this spring?”
Perform a cleansing ritual for your home or workspace to release stagnant energy and welcome fresh, vibrant energy. Open windows, burn sage or incense, and visualize your space being filled with light and vitality.
