The Autumn Equinox and Ongoing Relational Resets
The season of Fall is official on September 22 with the arrival of the Autumnal Equinox, where day and night are of equal duration. This ushers in the season of Libra, and the theme of balance. Libra is ruled by the planet Venus and rules over our one-on-one relationships, so it is safe to assume that our relationships will be highlighted now. And well, haven’t they already been quite loud for a while now?
Since July 17, 2023, humanity has been tasked with reconsidering relational patterns, releasing old ways, old connections, and codependency vs. strengthening independence with interdependence and self-sufficiency. Libra does include our romantic relationships and they likely are the loudest now with Venus transiting the sign of Libra as well, however the spotlight is beaming on ALL of our connections (platonic, familial, business, etc.) It is in these areas we have been focused on rebalancing how they function in our lives, what needs to be updated? Excavated? Transformed? Completely eliminated? These themes will continue until the nodes of the moon move out of Libra/Aries and into Pisces/Virgo on January 11, 2025.
Who’s got opps? The theme of relationship shifts is amplified by an opposition between Mercury in Virgo and Saturn (retrograde) in Pisces at 15º on September 18-19, and by another potent opposition between Venus in Libra and Chiron in Aries at 22º on September 20. These may be the days where we are confronted by our partners with grievances of some kind that are unsettling, painful even, yet not necessarily surprising. These planets suggest the necessity for mature and caring discussions around boundaries and the details of those boundaries so as to create better balance in our agreements. The moon will be waning in Aries at this time, just after being full, so emotions are still very high, and it will be VERY easy to be emotionally triggered by present events. Remember that present triggers are pointing to past pain. Can we address the roots of longstanding hurts with our partners? This is serious. Don’t have the conversation without taking solo time to get prepared to have it. Mars, now in Cancer, adds some passive-aggression and a dash of taking things personally. Communicate in detail. Let your partners know you are willing to have important conversations, but do not abandon your desire for balance just because you got your feelings hurt. Be gentle with yourself and others without being avoidant.
This week we are in between eclipses, the time between the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse that recently occurred on Sept 17 and the coming New Moon Solar Eclipse that is set to occur on October 2. The barrier between the seen and unseen realms is said to be very permeable in between eclipses. It is a time where things are not exactly as they seem, as eclipses naturally deal with light and shadow. The karmic wheel turns, the next chapter in our lives becomes activated and revealed through the themes and events we experience now. It is wise to pay attention. Do your best to observe what seems to be shifting within and around you. It would not be a great time to make permanent or rash decisions, because they are sure to be extremely consequential. Dreams are especially active and can be very helpful with clues of where to put our focus, or what personal messages we need to receive to move through our current issues. In my experience, there is no time more potent than eclipse season to be taking time off, to get enough sleep, to record your dreams, to be with yourself and listen. There is a high chance these actions are incredibly revealing.
