Spring fever hits a euphoric pitch this Easter as the cosmos sparkles with opportunities to celebrate life anew. Here are 7 ways to align yourself with the fresh vitality of this spirited holiday.

1. Jump ahead in your mind.

Planning for Easter can be a little tricky because, of all the calendar holidays, the date is the most unpredictable, falling on some Sunday between March 22 and April 25. The variation of Easter's date from year to year is a matter of astronomy: the holiday always falls on the first Sunday after the first full Moon, after the Vernal Equinox.

2. Bounce into fantasyland.

As if the whole idea of searching for rainbow colored eggs that once belonged to a magical bunny weren't whimsical enough, the Aries Sun and Mercury in imaginative Pisces encourage a fantastical approach to your Easter celebration. Eggs are no longer confined to baskets. They can go in wreathes or garlands! And they can be made of paper machete and glitter glue or wound up crepe paper with surprise treats and trinkets wrapped inside.

3. Take a leap of faith.

Though popular Easter rituals are borrowed from pagan tradition, many religious people hold this among the most sacred days. Regardless of your religion, the introspective and spiritual Scorpio Moon favors a taking a solemn moment to honor your own belief system and keep it holy.

4. Go bounding into nature.

Easter is to spring what Christmas is to winter. But instead of a fir tree you can revel in the ecstasy of tulips, the whispered grandeur of grass and the glory of the lily. Nature is truly alive and the more you appreciate it, the more alive you'll feel too.

5. Hop into hunting mode.

The Scorpio Moon pretty much guarantees that not all eggs will be found by the end of the hunt. But what you don't find with your eyeballs on Easter you may smell in subsequent weeks. Have fun with the mysterious Scorpio Moon by hiding unexpected treasures.

6. Skip breakfast.

Who needs it when you're properly geared up for a nice, big brunch? Jupiter in Taurus will guide the feast in a quality direction as Venus in Gemini makes sure the conversation doesn't disappoint.

7. Let your heartstrings go “boing!”

Sure this holiday is about family and faith. But it's also about experiencing the fever of spring . What better way to do that than to fall, at least a little bit, in love?
