As we transition into autumn and winter, the autumn equinox has captured the attention of many, especially those who follow astrology. This celestial event occurs twice a year when the sun sits directly above the equator, resulting in equal day and night lengths. The autumn equinox marks the end of summer and the beginning of Libra season. This year, the autumn equinox falls on September 22nd, and Psychic World, in collaboration with celebrity psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman, has delved into what this seasonal shift means for each zodiac sign.
For all signs, the equinox represents a powerful opportunity to reflect on the dynamism and intensity of summer while embracing the subtle cool of winter. However, some signs, like Aries, Cancer, and Gemini, may find the transition more challenging. Inbaal suggests, “As you prepare for the equinox, take a moment to reflect on the highlights and low points of your summer, and your hopes and fears for winter. Light a candle to dispel any anxieties and invite positivity into your life.”
Let’s explore how the autumn equinox impacts each zodiac sign:
Aries (March 21 – April 19):
The equinox’s balance may not resonate with Aries, who favor extremes over stability. As Libra season commences, Aries, who are Libra’s polar opposite on the zodiac wheel, might struggle with this emphasis on equilibrium. Inbaal recommends dedicating time to finding balance by alternating active days with calmer ones, even if it seems counterintuitive. This will help ground Aries’ mind in the coming weeks.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20):
The autumn equinox, with its elegance and balance, aligns perfectly with Taurus’ appreciation for peace and harmony. However, this is also the ideal time for Taurus to venture outside their comfort zones and seize opportunities, particularly during the Harvest Moon on the 29th, which is a great time for planning new and unconventional experiences.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20):
As the social butterflies and summer lovers, Gemini might find the approaching autumnal solitude a bit challenging. The balanced nature of the equinox could feel tedious to them. To embrace the season, Inbaal suggests Gemini reconnect with their inner child and rediscover their love for autumn. Consider a trip to witness the Northern Lights or simply enjoy a live broadcast on your phone for a fun and unique experience.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22):
For Cancer, ruled by the moon, the equinox’s influence may be less prominent than the Harvest Moon on the 29th. The Harvest Moon signifies endings and resource gathering, which is more in line with their lunar nature. Emotional Cancers can find solace in their favorite autumnal scents, movies, and time spent with loved ones.
Leo (July 23 – August 22):
Leo’s planetary ruler is the Sun, making them acutely aware of celestial shifts like solstices and equinoxes. The equinox’s call to bid farewell to summer’s warmth and embrace the muted tones of autumn resonates strongly, though they may miss the sunny days. Leos can expect a boost of energy this season as the shift taps into their curiosity and passion.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22):
The equinox marks the end of Virgo season, a time characterized by organization, shedding excess, and self-improvement. As Libra season begins, Virgos can confidently say they have accomplished their goals and are ready for the next phase.
Libra (September 23 – October 22):
Libra season starts with the autumn equinox, a time Libra truly embraces. With all things pumpkin spice surrounding them, they can indulge in cozy nights in their pajamas. The peaceful moments as leaves fall are the key to Libra’s happiness.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):
Secrets are a Scorpio’s safety net. As the autumn equinox arrives, Scorpios leave summer behind and find comfort in the shadows of winter. This period represents a refreshing break from the summer’s intensity.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):
The end of summer hits Sagittarius hard, particularly as they are avid travelers. The equinox encourages them to find a moment of calm and balance. Sagittarius should allow themselves a few days of stillness and put their travel plans on hold for a few weeks before embarking on a winter sun escape.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):
The business-minded Capricorn understands the cyclical nature of change and embraces opportunities for transformation. The autumn equinox serves as a reminder that what worked in the past may no longer be effective, signaling the need to adjust routines.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):
The autumn equinox encourages Aquarius, the humanitarian and idealist, to explore new places and learn new things. They also enjoy being helpful but prefer to do so without drawing attention to themselves. The autumn season suits this sign, who will continue their usual routine throughout the equinox and the following weeks.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20):
Pisces, known for their romantic nature, hold high expectations for themselves. The equinox’s message of balance and self-worth resonates with Pisces. The increased likelihood of witnessing the Northern Lights adds a touch of magic to this autumn season for Pisces.
