'As you transition out of March, may the light renew you. May your heart thaw and open wide to the promise of new beginnings,' it read.

'In this transition, may you feel deeply seen, truly heard, and embraced in full acceptance. Let joy energise your spirit.'

It continued: 'Dance in this light of rebirth, as you step from the shadow of Winter into the warmth and wonder of Spring.'
