Mid-September always comes with a variety of different changes. As summer winds down the weather starts to get cool and crisp and the leaves begin to change color, leaving the feeling of fall hanging the air. This year all of the many September changes will be brought to a head on Thursday, September 22, when the autumnal equinox arrives and fall officially begins.
It is set to take place at precisely 10:21 AM (EDT) and will happen simultaneously all around the world. So no matter what time zone you are in, at that exact moment the autumnal equinox will occur as the sun crosses over the celestial equator, which is to say the equator you’re familiar with! For all the wordsmiths out there, the word equinox is derived from the Latin terms aequus (equal) and nox (night) and therefore means equal night. As the word itself implies, the equinox is when day and night are equal, and the hours of lightness and darkness will last for the same amount of time.
The autumnal equinox will bring about a number of changes and an energy shift will also be occurring right along with it. While many people will not even be aware that it has happened, they will definitely end up feeling the impact and effects of it in some type of way. That’s partly because the autumnal equinox falls right on the cusp of Virgo, as it’s about to end and change over into Libra the very next day. As such, this means the timing is ideal for us to center in on ourselves and do some serious soul searching. It’s a time to find balance and to free ourselves of all our fears, stress, worries, and anything else that may be holding us back. Once we’re able to do that, we will finally feel free and ready to take on whatever comes our way.
All in all, this time of year marks the annual beginning of a series of beautiful transformations that take place not only in nature, time, and space, but also within each of us. We will all experience the autumnal shift in both our conscious and subconscious levels of existence. For some it will prove eye-opening and monumental, whereas for others it will only be slightly noticeable. What follows are some of the more meaningful themes and significant changes that this equinox will usher in. Some of them may possibly end up affecting you, so examine them closely and be on the look out for these in the upcoming days:
Release:
Many of us will finally be able to let go of the fears or worries that have been causing us great anxiety. Or perhaps it’s anger that you’ve been holding onto for far too long. Whatever it may be, now is the time to forgive, forget, overcome, and free yourself of the pent up negativity in your life so that you can move forward.
Clarity:
If you’ve been walking around in a fog you can look forward to it lifting and being able to see things clearly once again. This is due in part to the release of our fears and anxieties, as mentioned above, and by ridding yourself of the toxic emotions they cause it will provide you with a renewed sense of yourself and the world around you.
Creativity:
Our creative sides will be in overdrive. Perhaps it’s the colorful autumn foliage or the right inspiration just happens to come along, but many people will experience a heightened sense of artistic energy and expressiveness. Channel this into writings, paintings, songs, or whatever type of art you love doing as an outlet for your emotions rather than holding them all in or venting them on others.
Balance:
The autumnal equinox is all about balance. Equal night and day, equal light and dark, equal moon and sun, all these things balance the other out. Finding the right balance in the areas of our lives where we need it most will be highlighted with the seasonal changeover. Since the solar energy is shifting over into that of Libra it means aesthetics, alignment, proportionality, duality, and balance are at the forefront of our thoughts and ideas. If you work with, rather than against, things as they come your way then you’ll have a much easier time achieving a balanced state awareness.
