Here is information about the Equinoxes from my Spinning Wheels App:
 Spring Equinox
What it is:
This is one of two days every year in which the day and night are equal length in time.
It is also known as mid-spring, a Fertility festival in pre-christian times and is now commonly called Easter.
Celebrated by traditional cultures who would gather and celebrate fertility, births and new beginnings. This fertility celebration is the origin of the easter egg and rabbit symbology. How it affects you:
Creative energy is rising and we feel more interested in the outer world.
We may feel elevated mood, more extroverted and likely wanting to be more outside and active. Hopeful mood and new possibilities are felt at this time.
How well you rested at winter, will determine how much energy you have to dedicate to growth at this time. Pace yourself and avoid burnout. Summary:

Menopause is not an ending—it’s an awakening.

Menopause is not an ending—it’s an awakening. A recalibration into creativity, clarity, and deep wisdom. This is the initiation into the power of the wise woman—exactly who the world needs now. How long did it take you to embrace this transition, and what did you have to overcome in the process? Share in the comments. ⬇️✨#menopause #perimenopause #menopausehealth

Menopause isn’t the end of vitality—it’s a shift in its expression. As our energy is freed from reproductive cycling, we step into a new season of clarity, leadership, and self-directed purpose. What new capacities or purpose has emerged for you through menopause? Share in the comments! #menopause #perimenopause #womensempowerment #menopauseawareness

Perimenopause can bring a profound internal shift,

Perimenopause can bring a profound internal shift, and many mothers feel sadness or guilt as their focus naturally turns inward. But there are ways to nurture your children while honoring your own needs during this transition. Here are some key ways to support your child’s emotional well-being through this hormonal shift: 💛 Prioritize secure attachment – Lay a strong foundation early by being present and attuned to your child’s needs. If you’re bottle-feeding, hold your baby close, making eye contact. Presence matters more than perfection. 💛 Establish rituals of connection – Simple, consistent routines like shared meals, bedtime stories, nature walks, or even dancing together create anchors of safety and love. 💛 Be mindful of oxytocin triggers – Activities like cuddling, touch, laughter, and shared experiences naturally increase bonding hormones, easing emotional shifts for both you and your child. 💛 Let go of guilt and embrace what you can give – If you’re feeling drained, choose one joyful activity that allows you to connect without depleting yourself. Even small, focused moments make a lasting impact. 💛 Create a home environment that feels safe, loving, and predictable – This provides stability as your energy and emotions fluctuate. Perimenopause is a natural evolution of womanhood, and your needs matter too. Have you experienced this shift? What helped you navigate it?

Menopause is life’s harvest, revealing how we’ve lived and cared for ourselves. Like a garden’s yield, it reflects our experiences— trauma, love, and loss. This feedback offers wisdom to guide what we continue, release, and replant for the next season of life. If you want to dive deeper into this work, Join me at my upcoming workshops or online courses.

I, Jane Hardwicke Collings acknowledge that my work is situated on the lands of the Gundungurra People of the Yuin Nation. I acknowledge that the land was never ceded and we recognise that the Yuin people have cared for this country over thousands and thousands of years. I express my deep respect and gratitude for all Elders past, present, and emerging.

I acknowledge that I also travel to many lands and I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the lands. We strive to strengthen our collaboration with Indigenous peoples in order to further our understanding and connections to country.
