Equinoxes and Solstices
The equinoxes and solstices mark the changing seasons and hold great significance in many cultures and traditions. In 2025, we will experience the following celestial events:
March – Vernal Equinox
In March, we welcome the Vernal Equinox, also known as the Spring Equinox. This event marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and brings a perfect balance between day and night. As nature awakens from its winter slumber, we can take this opportunity to reconnect with the world around us and embrace the energy of new beginnings.
June – Summer Solstice
As the days grow longer and the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, we celebrate the Summer Solstice in June. This day marks the official onset of summer and grants us the most daylight of any day in the year. It is a time of joy, abundance, and celebration of life’s vibrant energy.
September – Autumnal Equinox
With the arrival of September, we bid farewell to the warm days of summer and welcome the Autumnal Equinox. This equinox signifies the transition into fall, where day and night are again in perfect balance. As leaves change color and nature prepares for the colder months, let us reflect on the power of change and find beauty in the shifting seasons.
December – Winter Solstice
Winter’s chill blankets the land as we approach December, and with it comes the Winter Solstice. This day marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. As we gather around warm fires and celebrate the holiday season, the Winter Solstice invites us to embrace the stillness and find comfort in the darkest nights.
Blue Moon
A blue moon occurs when there are two full moons within a single calendar month. However, in 2025, we will not experience a blue moon, as each month will only have one full moon. While the absence of a blue moon might disappoint some, fear not, for we still have plenty of lunar marvels to look forward to throughout the year.
Supermoons
Supermoons take place when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. In 2025, we are fortunate to have three full supermoons to admire.
October – Full Harvest Moon (Super Harvest Moon)
The Full Harvest Moon in October not only marks the arrival of the bountiful autumn harvest but also takes on the title of a supermoon.
