The word equinox is derived from Latin meaning “equal night,” referring to the roughly 12-hour day and 12-hour night that occurs only on the two equinox days of each year.
This day represents the balance of light and dark, day and night, outward and inward, and marks a coming together point in the Earths cycles before she shifts directions.
⊹
The Earth has been moving in one direction for 6 months. As we meet the March Equinox, the cold meets warm, dark meets light, inward meets outward and shedding meets renewal. This meeting allows the Earth, and each of us, to shift and begin moving in the opposite direction – depending on where you are in the world, this new direction could be one of light, warmth, and outward expression, or one of quiet, introspection, and shedding into colder months.
This shift in our surroundings is an invitation to lean into the shift that is occurring within each of us, too. We may feel this shift growing we move closer to this date, and will feel it for a short while after, but on the day, on the day of equal day and night, we honour and bring together our day and night, light and dark, inward and outward, together in balance.
We meet all of ourselves, honour all of ourselves, and with that, allow the shift that is waiting to take place within us.
Spring/Vernal Equinox
For the Northern Hemisphere the March Equinox represents the opening into Spring, and its natural evolution into Summer.
These are reversed for the September Equinox.
When we think of Spring, we think of seeds sprouting, leaves blossoming, new life. We see the Sun in its outward, bright, and big expression. There seems to be more energy, more time, and more light to feed and nourish our bodies.
We are the same. We are invited into new life (new beginnings). We are invited into outward expression and action. We are invited into turning our lights and the centre of who we are up, allowing ourselves to become brighter and bolder, just like the Sun.
This is where we get to experience and express the 6 months of introspection and inward discovery. This is where we are reborn after so courageously letting go.
A beautiful invitation sits within this shift – to bloom naturally from who you are guided to be and become in each now moment, not from who you were before you entered into Fall/Autumn. You are a different person now. Let yourself explore this new you in this new cycle.
The Equinox marks a day of high potential. Where we are reminded of just how much is available to us, even if we can’t see it in our reality just yet. We are reminded to reach wider in our lives, to dream bigger. That we can create what we desire, that it can get that good. That we are in a constant cycle, that darkness doesn’t last, and new opportunities are always on the horizon.
Autumn Equinox
For the Southern Hemisphere the March Equinox represents the cycle into Autumn or Fall, and its natural evolution into Winter. (September Equinox is Fall for the Northern Hemisphere)
This is our shedding. Our letting go. Just as we witness Mother Earth so courageously let go of all she has become over the last 6 months, we are being asked to trust just as deep, have faith just as wide, that when we let go, we do so that we may be reborn once again when the time is right, as a new person.
The quote ‘You cannot re-create yourself until you uncreate yourself’ holds strength here. We let go because we know that we cannot add to what is already full. We empty our hands knowing that it is only then we may receive. We empty our minds and become the students, the explorers, the pathfinder who knows each moment of Life is its greatest teacher.
We let go in a full surrender that we are held, and just like the Earth, will bloom again.
Instead of an outward expression, we are guided inward. Reminded that there is incredible wisdom within each of us. Reminded that within silence is magic, magic that can be overlooked when we are in a mode of outward expression and doing. This is the season to listen.
This is a time to create the space for your body to be nurtured. To go at a pace that nourishes your body and your mind. This is a time to connect and listen inward above all else.
Astrological New Year/Aries Season
While we meet this shift in the Earths cycle, we also meet the Astrological New Year as the Sun moves into Aries. This speaks to a powerful new beginning. A new cycle on the astrological wheel.
This is a beautiful opportunity to look forward at the potentials for the next 12 months. To sink into where you are being guided and what direction feels good, right, and true for you.
Whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, moving into the colder or warmer months, this is equally an opportunity to witness what is falling away and what is blooming within you.
