• EQUINOX •

On September 23, as the sun moves to 0 degrees Libra, we transition into the fall equinox (or spring in the Southern Hemisphere). The shifts between mutable and cardinal seasons are always profound, as it heralds great change and transformation, a zero point at the turn of the wheel. A new beginning is birthed whilst we traverse the in-between realms. As day and night are equal in length now, balance is seeking to be restored - between light and darkness, masculine and feminine, of duality. Work with this seasonal shift to harvest all that you have sown since the equinox at the beginning of the astrological new year (March 21), to prepare for the coming night and winter.

0 Libra sits within the Super Galactic Centre, a cosmic vacuum of insatiable yearnings and desires spanning 0-3 degrees of this sign. These degrees of Libra are highly focused on relationships, to such an extent that all else in life is cast aside in search of the holy grail of a romantic partner, instead of realising this sacred hieros gamos comes from within first. With the Sun traversing these degrees and forming an opposition to Chiron in Aries, deep woundings around self worth, validation and perceived lack of connection can be triggered via this brief transit, bringing instability to the balance that the Sun in Libra is so set on initiating. The houses when Aries and Libra are found in your natal chart will show where this power play is manifesting for you during this equinox period.

This week can also feel challenging as we have multiple planets in Libra squaring with Saturn, the South Node and Pluto in Capricorn. Tensions within and outside of you may arise, and will require your conscious, intuitive action to resolve. Your tender spots will be prodded, especially on the day of equinox as the Moon and North Node in Cancer form a conjunction, indicating an emotional leap of faith is presenting itself to you, if you are able to move away from your past patterns and fears you hold in your Capricorn house of your natal chart.

LIBRA 1
A group of fat Italian ladies preparing bread.
Archetypal, universal, and diffuse allegiances, activities, and realms of experience. Becoming camouflaged perfectly by adopting a persona that is wondrously engaging and easily connected with. Putting it on a bit heavy--thick grease paint. You exult in getting away with seeming to be the world's most anonymous person--the disguise can stick to the face. Overt consciousness awash in mass identification, at times you are able to penetrate through and find open possibilities, but you are primarily engrossed in the outer. And alive to the advertised sensations of what it is like to be popular, well-received, and simply welcome wherever you go as part of the mix, and no problem at all.
