East | South | West | North

East is associated with births and new beginnings because it is where each new day dawns. Spring is the season associated with the direction because Spring is also the time of new beginnings. East is the place of healing, creativity, illumination, divination, intuition, new birth and sunshine, new learning, strength of will, communication, and the expression of new.
