Autumnal Equinox
On March 20, 2025, we will celebrate the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Equinox is a celestial event that marks the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and, conversely, the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator—an imaginary line in the sky located directly above Earth's equator—making day and night equal in length.
The Autumn Equinox symbolizes the arrival of colder days and the gradual decrease in daylight.
As the Autumn Equinox brings balance between light and darkness, many cultures honor this time with rituals of gratitude, transition, and protection. Here are some meaningful ways to celebrate:
In this video, we’ve prepared a guided reflection to help you attune to the season’s energy and navigate through themes of gratitude, accomplishment, and release.
Write down everything you want to release before the darker months begin—fears, doubts, or old habits. Burn the paper safely, symbolizing transformation and making space for renewal.
Light a candle or lantern to symbolize warmth and guidance as the days grow shorter. Focus on your inner light and set intentions for the coming season.
The Autumn Equinox has long been a time to express gratitude for the harvest. Prepare a meal with seasonal foods, share it with loved ones, and reflect on the abundance in your life.
Take a walk in nature and collect fallen leaves, acorns, or seasonal herbs. Use them to decorate your home or altar, bringing in the grounding energy of autumn.
As the veil between worlds is believed to thin, some cultures honor their ancestors at this time. Light a candle, set up a small altar, or share stories to remember those who came before you.
Cleanse your space with sage, rosemary, or cedar to clear out stagnant energy and welcome fresh autumn vibes. Open windows, let the crisp air in, and set an intention for renewal.
As the seasons shift, let the Autumn Equinox bring you balance, clarity, and warmth.
