Breaking Cycles: Embrace Transformation
With Ostara AND Year of the Snake
Spring is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity for change. Ostara, the Spring Equinox, is a time of balance, renewal, and fresh starts
As the world around you begins to bloom, why not take a moment to reflect on the changes you’d like to make in your own life? The Spring Equinox marks the perfect balance between light and dark before the sun starts to take over and warmth returns. This natural shift in the seasons invites you to refresh your energy. It's the time of year when day and night are in perfect harmony, symbolising balance, renewal, and the fresh start of spring. With the days getting longer and the sun’s energy growing, it’s the ideal moment for new beginnings and personal growth.
Do you feel drawn to decluttering, setting new intentions, or simply embracing a different mindset?
Then Ostara is your reminder that transformation is not only possible—it’s necessary. By the way, if you didn't know already, Ostara is a spring festival named after the goddess Eostre symbolising renewal, balance, and new beginnings as the earth awakens and the origin of the word Easter.
Just like nature bursts into bloom, you too can shed your old layers and step into something new.
Did you know this festival is also deeply connected to 2025 — the Year of the Snake?
Just as nature awakens in spring, this year calls for transformation, releasing old layers, and stepping into something new. The snake sheds its skin effortlessly, a powerful symbol of the transformation awaiting you.
Is spring 2025, the time to turn over a new leaf?
Ostara: The Festival of Renewal and Balance
Ostara, named after the Germanic goddess Eostre, is all about renewal, fertility, and new beginnings. Think eggs, rabbits, and dramatic spring weather—nature’s way of reminding us that even the best-laid plans might get rained on. This festival encourages us to reflect on our own growth and renewal, just as the earth renews itself. The story goes that Eostre, a goddess of dawn and rebirth, found a wounded bird in the snow. To save it, she transformed it into a hare, but—because magic likes to be extra—the hare retained its ability to lay eggs. As a token of gratitude, the hare decorated these eggs and left them as gifts.
Sound familiar? Over time, as Christianity spread through Europe, Ostara’s themes of rebirth and renewal intertwined with Easter. The symbols of eggs, rabbits, and the return of life merged into modern celebrations.
Whether you’re marking Ostara, Easter, or just here for the chocolate, you’re part of a tradition that has been hopping along for centuries!
2025: The Year of the Snake – Embracing Transformation
As we welcome Ostara and the fresh energy of spring, 2025, the Year of the Snake, reminds us that transformation is essential. Snakes don’t resist their evolution—they let go of the past without hesitation because growth demands space. This year is all about breaking cycles, shedding the old, and making room for the new. So just how does the year of the snake apply here?
- Recognise what no longer fits: Are there habits, beliefs, or situations holding you back?
- Embrace change: Growth can be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. Just like the snake, you must release the old to grow into the new.
- Let go of fears and doubts: You can’t step into your full potential while clinging to outdated versions of yourself.
Just like nature doesn’t hesitate to bloom, you don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns. It’s time to move forward with confidence, embrace the Year of the Snake, and step boldly into a new chapter.

Renew And Heal All Types Of Relationships: Break Unhealthy Cycles This Ostara
Just as nature renews itself each spring, we must also renew our relationships—whether with romantic partners, friends, or family. If you find yourself stuck in repeating patterns, especially with those closest to you, it may be time to reflect on what needs to change.
Just as spring marks a time for new growth, this season is the perfect opportunity to let go of old wounds and let love grow.
Only by shedding outdated patterns, do you make room for new, positive experiences that nurture your connections....
Are You Stuck in Repeating Patterns with Loved Ones?
Do you notice yourself having the same arguments with family members? Or feeling misunderstood in friendships? Perhaps your romantic relationships are marked by the same unhealthy cycles? These repeated patterns often stem from how we communicate, give, and receive energy. It’s no coincidence that these patterns continue until we make a conscious choice to break cycles and change them.
Relationships can be some of the most rewarding parts of life, but they can also become sources of emotional pain if unhealthy patterns persist. Ostara, the festival of renewal, reminds us that we have the power to shed these old patterns and embrace new, healthier ways of connecting with the people in our lives.
Breaking cycles in our relationships requires awareness and action, both of which are essential in creating a healthy foundation for connection.
Letting Go: The First Step to Stronger, Healthier Connections
If you want to nurture more fulfilling relationships—whether romantic, familial, or platonic—you must first recognize and release the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Ostara is about balance—equal endings and beginnings. It’s the perfect time to let go of old ways of relating, making space for healthier, more balanced connections.
1. Recognise the Patterns in All Your Relationships:
“I always feel unheard in my friendships.”
- “Family gatherings always end in the same arguments.”
- “I give too much in relationships and get little in return.”
These repeated beliefs and behaviours shape your reality. Recognising them is the first step toward breaking cycles in your relationships. It allows you to change how you interact and set healthier boundaries. Relationships—whether romantic, familial, or platonic—flourish when we take responsibility for what we contribute and make the necessary changes to create balance.
2. Stop Excusing Toxic Behaviour in Any Relationship:
Whether it's excusing a friend’s constant letdowns, tolerating a toxic family dynamic, or staying in unbalanced romantic relationships, the pattern only ends when you decide to change how you respond. Ostara encourages you to embrace renewal, which means not allowing negativity or imbalance to linger in your life. Breaking cycles of toxic behavior leads to emotional freedom and healthier, more supportive relationships.
3. Set a New Intention for Healthier Connections:
This Ostara, declare your intention for healthier, more balanced relationships. Try this:
“I release past patterns and welcome relationships—romantic, platonic, and familial—that are balanced, fulfilling, and built on mutual respect and understanding.”
