Astronomical event:

• • The Equinox happens twice a year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator.
  • Day and night are almost perfectly equal length, symbolising balance between light and dark, masculine and feminine, inner and outer.
  • This year it occurs as the Sun moves into Libra — the zodiac’s archetype of balance, beauty, justice, and relational harmony.
• Seasonal meaning (Southern Hemisphere):
• • We are entering spring, a season of renewal, fertility, and blossoming.
  • The Earth is quickening, flowers are opening, animals are mating — everything points to life force expanding outward.
  • It’s a natural reset moment, asking you: what do you want to grow alongside the Earth’s new cycle?
• Spiritual symbolism:
• • The Equinox is a cosmic reminder that balance is not about perfection — it’s about flow, presence, and honouring both sides of the spectrum.
  • Light and dark are not enemies; they are partners. One cannot exist without the other.
  • On a soul level, this is an initiation into integration — weaving shadow and light into wholeness.
• Libra season connection:
• • Libra, ruled by Venus, reminds us that harmony begins within and extends outward into relationships, creativity, beauty, and justice.
  • This season asks: where do you need to recalibrate? What parts of your life feel out of balance? Where are you over-giving or under-receiving?
  • It’s about creating spaces, connections, and practices that feel like beauty, fairness, and alignment.
• Cyclical wisdom:
• • Indigenous and ancestral traditions around the world marked the Equinox with rituals of gratitude, planting, harvest, or honouring of the ancestors.
  • It’s always been a portal of power — a time when the veil thins and humans attune themselves to the Earth’s greater rhythm.
  • When you live seasonally, you live aligned with the universe’s pulse.
• Rituals & practices you can suggest:
• • Light two candles — one for light, one for shadow — and meditate on what needs balancing in your life.
  • Write intentions around harmony, justice, or beauty and anchor them with a simple altar offering (flowers, fruit, water).
  • Plant a seed or flower in the ground — literally calling in growth and renewal.
  • Spend time in stillness at sunrise or sunset, attuning to the balance of light and dark.
  • Do an energetic cleanse of your home to make space for new beginnings.
• Why this Equinox matters:
• • Because it aligns so closely with the New Moon Eclipse in Virgo, the energy is sharper, more karmic, and more demanding than usual.
  • It’s not just about balance — it’s about discerning what no longer belongs in your life so that real harmony can emerge.
  • Think of it as a cosmic crossroads: you are invited to consciously choose what you carry forward, and what you release into the compost.

Cardinal Signs + The Solstices & Equinoxes

• The Cardinal Cross:
• • In astrology, the cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
  • They mark the turning points of the year — the solstices and equinoxes.
  • Cardinal energy is initiating, activating, and directional — it starts new seasons.
