Soul Food-Fall Equinox/New Moon in Libra/TV Show
The fall equinox happens today at 6:04 pm/PDT & 9:04 pm/EDT, although I think that’s the end of daylight savings time moving forward. My astrological calendar says daylight savings time ends on Nov. 6th, but I think Ohio has done away with switching back & forth every March & November.
The word equinox is a Latin word meaning equal night. The Autumn Equinox, usually falling around the 22nd of September, is a time when day and night are roughly equal in length. At this turning point, the fall season begins, and nights become longer than the days in the Northern Hemisphere. (In the Southern Hemisphere, the Autumn Equinox falls around March 22nd.) Energetically, the Autumn Equinox is a time of balance and pause, a transitional moment between the bright half of the year and dark halves. ~ Julie Peters
The fall equinox marks the end of the harvest season, starting the official entry of the Sun into Libra. With the end of the harvest, we offer thanks; if you haven’t been keeping a gratitude journal, this would be an excellent time to start one. There is one thing to speak or think about what we’re grateful for throughout our day; however, there is nothing like putting it on pen and paper (not pencil) and committing to the Universe in a way that speaks of commitment and sincere gratitude to take the time to write these grateful things in a journal.
You are sending a CLEAR message to the Universe that you are grateful, and hence the Universe hears that and says, “Oh, Jane Doe is grateful for this today; let’s give her more to be grateful for. The same happens when you consistently complain about what you don’t have or what’s wrong in your life. The Universe hears, “Jane Doe is bitching about everything that’s going wrong. She must want more to complain about.” The concept of this is challenging to get across in a blog, but those of you who were former Louise Hay students of mine no precisely what I’m referring to.
With the Sun’s entry into Libra, we’re asked to examine how we seek balance and what is out-of-balance in our lives. As the Sun sets sooner and the Moon shines longer, we move into more darkness, and this is a time to slow down all the spring/summer fun, play activities, and go into our cocoon or our cave for the upcoming seasons and ponder life’s mysteries, journal our thoughts on paper. By doing the things mentioned above, one can get closer to the Soul, heal the parts of us that need attention, and bring balance into our lives. Usually, this time of year, our bodies and psyches are seeking rest, a retreat, and more balance in our lives.

On Friday, Sept. 23rd, Mercury’s retrograde cycle is moving back into Virgo. This is an excellent time to revisit what we’ve started and left undone. Attend to the details of your life and living space that may have been neglected over the past few months. After all, if you live in the cold areas this time of year (like myself), chances are you’ll be spending more time indoors. Don’t you want that space to be inviting, warm, and nurturing?
The new moon occurs Sunday, Sept. 25th at 2:55pm/PDT & 5:55pm/EDT at 3* Libra. This Libra new moon opposes Jupiter in Aries, creating a tug-of-war between spending the time to heal our relations and the urge to seek the illusive quest for a bigger adventure. Neptune is Pisces wants us to return to the dreamy, mystical world of fantasy, our dreams, and illusions and spend time with Peter Pan, not wanting to grow up.
Come Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 26th & 27th, Mars, the energetic Warrior, will be joining the Task Master Saturn and giving us the strength and discipline to take our goals and visions to cardboard and create the vision board manifestation of these energies. You’ve got your work cut out for you, with everything I’ve just laid out for you with the planetary energies starting with tonight’s new moon.
Here’s a list of crystals, herbs, and oils to assist you with the upcoming events:
Crystals: Tiger’s Eye, Moonstone, Magnetite
