The Spring Equinox occurs on March 20 at exactly 5:24 p.m. Eastern Time. This event coincides with the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and also marks the beginning of the Aries season.

However, it gets even better, as the Moon will be renewing itself via zero degrees of this cardinal fire sign. In astrology, zero degrees is considered to be a critical degree point.
