How to Use the Autumn Equinox as a Catalyst for True and Lasting Change
The meaning of this special time of year and 5 ways to use it.
Once again, the wheel has turned, and we find ourselves poised on a point of balance between light and dark before we make our descent into the cloak of cooler temperatures and longer nights.
What does the night represent to you? Something to fear, a place where bad things hide, or a place where you yourself can hide, can rest from the busyness of the outward day and harsh exposing light?
The Autumnal Equinox is a celebration of the harvest, of reaping in all that we have sown this year. Of pausing and taking stock of what we have nurtured from the seeds of our imagination and brought into a tangible reality. It’s a time to appreciate yourself for all that you have achieved, and acknowledge that a different stage is beginning, one that will require you to go inward.
The balance of light and dark can also be seen as the balance between creation and destruction, life and death. The equinox can be a good time to work in some way to restore the balance to all areas of our lives whether that be in our relationships with the people closest to us, how we organize our days in terms of work and pleasure or our impact on the earth itself.
