Question: What is the message in any particular season – spring, for example? Or winter?

Answer: Spring is as spring does; it makes its appointed round heralded by (the star system) Aquarius, the water bearer — bringing with it what the late summer seeds need to start the process of awakening from their winter slumber. The latent forces in these seeds become active, and new forms of life spring forth because the waters they need to thrive and survive are present. In a somewhat similar fashion, this seasonal surge moves into and through us. We feel not only the need to make a fresh start, but we’re also provided the energies needed to do so. The stirring we feel to break out of (the earth of) our old patterns, to reach higher, comes to us from on high; thus realized, we are empowered to succeed by a Life that may encounter obstacles, but that cannot be stopped.
