SPRING SEASON (MEANING).

SPRING  SEASON (MEANING).

Spring is one of the four conventional temperate seasons, following winter and preceding summer. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it will be autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.

METEOROLOGICAL RECKONING.

Spring, when defined in this manner, can start on different dates in different regions. In terms of complete months, in most north temperate zone locations, spring months are March, April and May, although differences exist from country to country. Most south temperate zone locations have opposing seasons with spring in September, October and November. In Australia and New Zealand, spring conventionally begins on 1 September and ends 30 November.

“Spring”, referring to a season rather than the many other meanings of the word, first popped up in the 16th century.  Starting in the 14th century, this time of year was called “springing time” and then in the 15th century this got shortened to “spring-time”, and then further shortened in the 16th century to just “spring”.  The 14th century “springing time” came about in reference to plants “springing” from the ground and the like.  Before the season was called these things, it was called “Lent” in Old English.

SYMBOLIC MEANING OF SPRING

Spring can be symbolic of starting new projects, sewing new seeds and coming forth with new ideas. This is also a time to contemplate health and physical well-being too. Be refreshed and prepare for your soulful debut!
