AUTUMN EQUINOX 🍂 Sally’s blog 💭
The autumn equinox is the astrological turn of the season from summer to autumn. There’s a shift, a feeling of change in the air, and I know for many of us, in our lives too. 🔃
The final harvest is gathered in, and we may take this time to reflect back to the spring equinox and to give thanks for all we have achieved and enjoyed since then. 🙏
Letting go of summer is a relief for some, but tinged with a bitter-sweet-sadness for others, for now is often deeply felt with ‘back-to-school’ vibes. ✏️
There might also be a sense of ‘no longer but not yet…’ - a bit like the weather, we can’t decide whether to wear a tshirt or a jumper! Things might feel a bit messy at the moment as we tidy away summer whilst preparing for our autumn. 🍂
And, there will be things we leave behind - that we no longer want or to take with us into our new season… whether that’s stuff in the wardrobe or the ‘other stuff’!
It can feel ‘a lot’ so now is the time to
plan how we can look after ourselves over the next six months, until the seasons start to turn again. Could you make this your ‘season for self-care’? 😌
The equinox reminds us that life is really all about balance, and Libra ♎️ season, with it’s symbolism of the scales, calls us to question imbalance in our lives, and readdress this, so we live and love with more equilibrium. ⚖️
This is a good time:
🔸On a walk, look at the changing colours
from greens and yellows, to browns and golds, notice how nature doesn’t rush, but slowly moves from one season to the next. Is there learning in this?
🔸Have an autumn sort-out… what do you want to take with you into the new season and what needs to be let-go or left behind?
🔸 Get yourself a new self-care plan - have regular massages 🙌, start the Yoga practice 🧘, enjoy a bubble bath 🛁, eat well 🍜 - whatever it is, commit to it!
Yes! Change is coming… 🍂
