I read an interesting article that assures me I can celebrate the Equinox on Friday 22nd or Saturday 23rd September as both days straddle this powerful time. This is such good news because more often than not I miss these auspicious moments. I am interested/excited/want to celebrate the occasion and I would love to wander barefoot in woodland taking in the aromas and observing the gently falling leaves… but not on my own and the logistics of gathering like-minded friends for such an outing…well, let’s just put that aside meantime.
The information I have says; “We welcome in the new influence of Libra that softens the drive to be practical and overly organised. There is still plenty of movement, action and focus on the future. It is important to honour a new reality and understanding, and acknowledge a new sense of maturity from all the recapitulating and releasing of the past you have done this month.”
Further, I am to reflect on my decisions past and present, as with every decision made something is always left behind. They recommend a ritual where I complete something with a burning of a photo, letter or object that represents what I am releasing. Interesting suggestion, but my neighbours might be vexed by my somewhat large bonfire at this time of year!
It is suggested that I make sure I spend some time dreaming up what I wish to bring into this new cycle. Further, it is recommended that I share it with others and do something celebratory to acknowledge change, a new creative beginning and reset. I wonder if doodling in my new notebook, sending notes to my friends and opening a bottle of prosecco will suffice? Meantime, I’ll gaze at the autumn colours from my window and enjoy the beauty of my indoor fern… it is all nature after all…
Oodles of good wishes to you as you acknowledge the Autumn Equinox in whatever way works for you.
