Ostara is the Spring or Vernal equinox when days and nights are once again equal in length. It is a time of renewal and rebirth. The name Ostara is believed to be derived from Eostre - the Teutonic lunar Goddess. Her chief symbols are the hare, which represents fertility, and the egg, which is a symbol of rebirth.
This year a solar eclipse will be totally or partially visible in some regions.
