Here’s How The Autumn Equinox Will Affect Your Star Sign
With September 23 swiftly approaching, the Autumn Equinox is causing quite the stir, sparking a remarkable 500% surge in online searches. This cosmic spectacle not only bids adieu to monsoon, ushering in the enchanting Libra season, but also promises a celestial double feature with the Harvest moon on the 29th, and even raises the curtain on a chance to witness the elusive Northern lights.
In this exquisite dance of equilibrium between daylight and twilight, we find ourselves pondering a pressing question: how can we gracefully weave both light and shadow into our daily lives? And, of course, the burning curiosity lingers: how will this cosmic event impact the unique journey of each zodiac sign?
To uncover these celestial secrets, we joined forces with Psychic World and celebrity astrologer and psychic Inbaal Honigman. Together, we decided to investigate the profound implications of this solar event on the lives of every star sign.
But before we dive into the celestial forecast, let’s heed Honigman’s sage advice, “As you get ready for the equinox, take a few moments to jot down the best and worst of your summer, and your biggest hopes and fears for winter. Light a candle to banish the worries and invite positivity.”
What Does The Autumn Equinox Mean For Your Star Sign?
Aries
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
For Aries, the equilibrium of the equinox may not hold great allure, as they lean towards extremes rather than stability. But do make an effort as the Autumn Equinox ushers in Libra season (September 23 - October 22), with the whole month dedicated to finding balance. With every active day, combine a calm day. Given that Libra is your polar opposite on the zodiac wheel, this may come as a challenge, but it’s needed for a steady mind this season.
Taurus
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Autumn equinox is a balanced and elegant time of year, and this speaks right to the Taureans’ soul, as they appreciate peace and equilibrium. A piece of advice for the equinox is to step out of your comfort zone, seize the opportunity presented by the Harvest Moon on the 29th, and make plans for new and unconventional experiences.
Gemini
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Summer is their season, as Geminis relish a party or two, and the company of others. The approaching autumn may bring a sense of solitude, which Geminis hate. All the sensible balance of the autumn equinox is just plain boring to most, so the twin sign should do their best to reconnect with their inner child and all the things they love about Autumn. Consider booking a trip to view the Northern Lights, or tuning in to a Northern Lights broadcast on your phone to keep things fun and original.
Cancer
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The equinox is a solar phenomenon marking the perfect balance between daylight and darkness. This might not resonate as strongly with Cancers, who are lunar creatures, ruled by the moon. Hence, they are more likely to feel the impact of the Harvest moon‒a time of endings and resource gathering‒on the 29th, rather than the autumn equinox, which signifies balance. Emotional Cancers can also be comforted by their favourite autumnal scents, movies and time with their loved ones this season.
Leo
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Leo’s planetary ruler is the Sun, and so celestial shifts such as solstices and equinoxes will feel very impactful. The call to bid farewell to the joys of summer behind and embrace the muted tones of autumn is strong, though they can’t help but miss the sunny days. Leos should expect a powerful boost this season as the energetic shift will tap into their curiosity and passion.
Virgo
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
As the culmination of Virgo season approaches, it coincides with the arrival of the fall equinox – a somewhat ironic twist of cosmic timing. During the Virgo season, society collectively adopts a sense of order and meticulous organisation, akin to the inherent traits of the Virgo zodiac sign. Over the past few months, we’ve witnessed a concerted effort to declutter our lives, let go of unnecessary baggage, and wholeheartedly invest in self-improvement. Now, as the equinox arrives, it poses a poignant question to all: ‘Have you completed your preparations? Is everything meticulously arranged?’ To this, Virgos can confidently respond with a resounding ‘yes.’
Libra
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
As Libra season approaches, get ready to feel right at home! No one will enjoy this cosy season more than the Libra, with everything pumpkin spice upon us, and the fall equinox signals this shift. No shaming of those who want to pull their pyjamas on straight after work. Peaceful moments as the leaves fall are the key to Libra’s happiness.
Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Secrets are a Scorpios safety net. Not big secrets like having two wives, but little secrets like ‘yeah, I loved Dangerous Liaisons’ or ‘I don’t know my way around the city I lived in my entire life’. With the arrival of the autumn equinox, Scorpios leave summer behind and find comfort in the shadows of winter. It will be a refreshing time.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
The conclusion of summer can be a bit of a challenge for Sagittarius individuals, as their deep love for travel is well-known. However, as the equinox heralds a time of equilibrium and tranquility, even though it may not entirely align with their adventurous spirit, Sagittarius should consider embracing a brief moment of stillness. It might be beneficial for them to stow away their phones and passports for a few days and honour the beauty of the fall season with a series of contemplative, deep breaths. This pause can serve as a valuable opportunity for reflection amidst their ongoing quest for winter sun destinations.
Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
Capricorn is a business-minded sign who understands that change is a constant, cyclical aspect of life. And so when the time comes to enact change, they seize the opportunity. The autumn equinox serves as a reminder that what once worked may no longer be effective, signalling the need to adjust your routine.
Aquarius
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
With their humanitarian nature, Aquarians are always introspective. This equinox will encourage this idealistic sign to visit new places, and learn new things. They also enjoy being helpful, but will not be conspicuous about it. They like to be well-read, but hate a snob or a show off. So the equinox is right up their alley! Business as usual.
zodiac sign cliches
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
As a romantic at heart, Pisces hold high expectations for themselves. The equinox’s call for balance and self-value is a message Pisces need to hear. The increased likelihood of witnessing the Northern Lights adds an extra touch of enchantment to this autumn season for Pisces.
