Easter weekend, a time for celebration, reflection, and family gatherings, but did you know it’s also deeply rooted in astrology? Let’s dive into the complex web of lunar cycles, church, and the zodiac that influences this sacred time of year.

As I’ve mentioned before, the date of Easter is determined by the f*cking moon. It’s celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This lunar connection is no coincidence, as the moon has played a pivotal role in the church calendar and religious symbolism for centuries.

The connection between lunar cycles and the church can be traced back to ancient civilizations who worshipped the moon as a divine entity. The moon was seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal, which resonates with the Christian belief of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Even the phases of the moon were used to mark significant events in the church calendar, such as Lent and Advent.

One of the most striking examples of astrology’s influence on church traditions is the inclusion of zodiac signs in the architectural design of many cathedrals and churches. Zodiac mosaics and sculptures can be found in places of worship dating back to the early Christian era, pointing to a deep-rooted connection between astrology and religious beliefs.

In addition to the lunar influence on the Easter weekend, specific zodiac signs have also been associated with the holiday. As mentioned in my previous article, Aries, the fiery ram, is closely linked to the Easter celebration, symbolizing new beginnings and rebirth. Furthermore, the Easter Bunny’s association with the moon connects it to the sensitive zodiac sign of Cancer.

But the lunar connections don’t stop there. The Last Supper, a significant event in Christian tradition that takes place during the Easter week, is said to have occurred during a full moon. This further solidifies the astrological significance of this sacred time.

So, as you celebrate Easter weekend, take a moment to appreciate the rich tapestry of astrological connections that have influenced this holiday throughout history. From the lunar cycles that dictate its timing to the zodiac signs woven into church traditions, the celestial world plays a vital role in shaping our understanding and celebration of Easter.
