A brand new season is upon us, filled with fresh possibilities to start something else and heal from what did not last. This year, the fall equinox and Libra season will be particularly intense and transformative, because each zodiac sign’s horoscope will be affected by the current astrology in an even more significant way than usual. By the time fall is over, you may be in a totally different place, literally and figuratively. Don’t fear what is out of your control, because the universe know what it’s doing.

Whether you call it “fall” or “autumn” doesn’t matter, because either way, the equinox will help you find balance and harmony after an intense summer season that ignited your passion and creativity. The season of harvest is upon us as of September 22 at 8:43 a.m. ET, inviting you to take stock of where you’re at in life and appreciate all that you’ve done both for yourself and for others. While the winter solstice brings the longest night of the year and the summer solstice brings the longest day, it is during the equinox that you experience a day and night that are roughly about the same length. The word “equinox” literally translates to “equal” and “night,” which shows that our need to find “balance” during this season is actually based on Earth’s annual movements. Plus, the sun also enters Libra at the moment of equinox, which is literally the zodiac sign of the scales.

This year, the fall equinox will usher in bigger changes than it usually does. You’ve already experienced a full moon and lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17 that began shaking things up in your life, bringing you into the beginning of a new story that will take place on the Pisces-Virgo axis. Although this series of eclipses are only just beginning, you’re likely feeling the initial rumblings of something big being brought to fruition. This eclipse will be followed up with a new moon and solar eclipse in Libra on October 2, which will bring unexpected information to light and whirlwind changes into reality. Look back on your life six months ago and see how far you’ve come. Chances are, this next era will be directly tied to a past that you’ve grown from.
