The spring equinox officially arrives on March 20th, 2025 at 5:01am, eastern standard time. In feng shui, spring is represented by the wood element, symbolizing growth and new beginnings. If the final days of winter have you feeling a bit stir crazy, you are not alone. Practically, and in feng shui terms, the arrival of spring is symbolic of the new beginnings of life and growth throughout. Today’s episode is an exploration of the energy that has been stirring just beneath the cold ground and how it lends itself to new beginnings.

We cover:

-Qi and the seasons

-What is the wood element and how does it manifest itself in spring time?

-What we can do in our homes with feng shui to embrace this energy

-Spring cleaning rituals

And much more!
