Find the beauty in common things around you and act with dignity and poise. Use this expressive and joyous time to recharge and refuel for happy activity.

At times, this awakening may be painful, but have trust in the love in your heart for those dear to you. Sparrow inspires this love for ourselves as well as our friends, family, and partners. Know that love will persist and hold true. Sparrow was believed by the Greeks to be the pet of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. This reminds us that even though something may seem small, it can represent the importance of simplicity and greatness in what is right before you. Remember not to give up on love, but have patience and persistence in helping both your love for yourself and those important to you grow. Sparrow teaches us to be hard-working and vigilant as we work to gain comfort and happiness in our lives. As we complete actions and goals that we are proud of, this will build our confidence and self-esteem. Sparrows reminds us that even when something comes between us and those we love, not to give up. To strive for compassion and empathy for ourselves as well as our loves. Act in your community and never give up whats important to you. This is a perfect guide for the holiday Ostara!

Sparrows are small, plump birds found commonly throughout nearly ever habitat excluding dense forest, alpine, and desert environments. These prolific birds can be seen in most urban areas, particularly farmlands. These creatures are granivorous, meaning they eat mainly plant materials such as grain, seeds, garden, plants and fruit which is supplemented with insects, earthworms, and foods from urban habitats such as bread crumbs and garbage. While sparrows can breed at any time, they peak from March through August. The male sparrow picks a territory centered around a bulky, haphazardly built nest much messier than the beautiful nests normally made by other birds such as finches. Sparrows are aggressive and social, a trait learned to increase their odds of survival against other birds.
