The Autumn Equinox: September 22, 2012

Night and day are equal on September 22 or the Autumn Equinox. What a grand stretch of the year to determine where you have been and where you are going. You can see the results of your hard work and perseverance. The Sun moves into Libra and balance is the ultimate goal of your life. This can be the beginning of a very cozy time of the year. Summer days are gone and winter storms are brewing but still a bit away.

Libra is ruled by Venus and focuses on balance and fairness. It is difficult for those under the sign of Libra to decide anything. You have a natural ability to see all sides of a situation yet decision making is difficult. Relationships are enhanced this time of the year. It is also the time to start upper level classes and join clubs. Energy levels shift as you become relaxed.

Pluto has been moving through the universe this last week. Pluto wants to change and seeks for deep level transformations. Pluto rules over death and life and all things unpleasant. Look out when Pluto exposes the dark energies. This can be very unpleasant. Learn about yourself so you can combat dark thoughts.

Pluto travels through Capricorn and you must learn to take responsibility for the things you have done. If you hate responsibility you may have to learn that taking responsibility for your own actions is empowering. Be prepared to jump up and take difficulty assignments.

As the Equinox moves through the day, listen to your inner self. Write down the impressions you have of life in a journal. Be crafty like the squirrel and prepare for winter. Let issues that are clouding and burdening your life go. If you have friendships and relationship in the way or your progress, let them go. Get your goals, intentions and dreams set firmly in your mind. Then go for them. Work on them during this winding down month. You will have all winter to adjust to change.
