Equinox

Equinox

The equal, the balanced, the split, the half, and the zero point.  The light of the golden Sun will shine for the same length of time as the dark night today.  Everywhere on Earth will experience 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark.  .  At 7:28 PM PST, Earth will be at the last degree and second of Virgo -29 degrees, 59 seconds.  Moments later, it will transition to Libra which is the 7th sign.  This will mark the completion of traveling through the first 6 signs of the Zodiac, starting at Aries, halfway through the zodiac.  As an opportunity to harness the balanced energy of the day, look at what could bring you greater peace by being in harmony with the natural balance and order of life.  It is a time of reflection on how far we have come so far this year and where we are going.   Do we need to adjust ourselves to bring our lives into greater balance?  How can we be in harmony with the needs of self and other?

For the past 6 months, we have been shining light on themes of the self in terms of who we are (Aries), how we gain our resources and self-esteem (Taurus), how we communicate and think (Gemini), what home means to us (Cancer), what gives us pleasure (Leo), what shall we create (Leo), how can we refine our skills and be of service to other (Virgo), and how will we provide for ourselves (Virgo)?  Our wounds may have been brought to the surface during this time of exploration of the self.  The goal is to accept the wounds, learn from them, integrate them, have faith in a divine force and offer a path of healing for ourselves.  This healing then becomes a gift we can offer to heal others.

The Sun is now ready to transition into Libra which begins a cycle outside the personal self, focusing now a little farther out into the external world where we start to unravel themes that appear from our interactions out in the world, a shift from “inner growth” to “the outer growth”.  Over the next 6 months, we may experience themes on relating with others (Libra), deep intimacy with another and the unconscious (Scorpio), seeking knowledge and forming our life vision (Sagittarius), developing our contribution to the world (Capricorn), forming communities (Aquarius), connecting with the mystical universe or the god of your understanding (Pisces). 

Use the equality of the day’s light and evening’s dark to bring balance into your life and the life you share with others.
