POP CULTURE PROMPTS FOR SPRINGTIME

Mar 27, 2025

We are one week into the spring season—and also going into another eclipse, this one a new moon solar eclipse in Aries.

Some food for thought:

🌷Frida Kahlo often painted herself surrounded by flowers and lush greenery. If you were to create a self-portrait inspired by spring, what symbolic elements would you include?

🌷Describe a moment in your life when you felt like you were emerging from a “winter” period. What helped you step into the light?

🌷“The Secret Garden,” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is a metaphor for emotional healing. Write about a “secret garden” within yourself that you want to nurture.

🌷Emily Dickinson wrote, “A light exists in spring, not present on the year at any other period.” Describe a moment when you felt this light and what it illuminated.

🌷In Botticelli’s “Primavera,” the goddess Flora scatters flowers as a sign of fertility and abundance. What creative seeds are you planting this spring?

🌷Imagine you’re designing an oracle card to represent the themes of the current season. What symbols, colors, and imagery would you include? Maybe sketch it out on a piece of paper.

🌷In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms represent the fleeting nature of beauty and life. Write about something in your life that feels ephemeral and how you will savor it.

🌷Georgia O’Keeffe’s flower paintings highlight both softness and strength. What part of you embodies those qualities?

🌷Write about a spring cleaning moment inspired by Marie Kondo’s philosophy: “What in your life no longer sparks joy?”

🌷Create a spring-themed playlist. What songs represent the different phases of the season for you?

🌷Write about a person or experience that feels like the sun coming out.
