If you are a parent dealing with the return to school because your children are still in school, September can be a stressful time for you. At the same time, however, you have to admit that there is something very pleasant about autumn, and who can’t look forward to the idea of the leaves changing color, and continuing to enjoy cider in your cozy study on cooler autumn days?
And then there are delicious fall meals like squash soup with some pumpkin pie. Fall is a fun time of year, and let’s discuss the best autumnal equinox ritual for your zodiac sign.
Aries – Slow down
Aries, you know you’re the one who has to hurry and get things done quickly. But unfortunately you don’t have time to wait because you are always in a hurry. That’s why you’ll need to challenge yourself during the autumnal equinox. The best type of fall ritual for you is to slow down and slow down your pace.
You’ll need some help with that, as that’s out of your nature, which is why you’ll want to get grounding crystals meant for Aries. They include aventurine, aquamarine, bloodstone, clear quartz and amethyst. As you try to slow down, hold one of these crystals to help you slow down your thoughts and take in what is around you.
Taurus – Lots of grounding
Taurus, you are stoic and steadfast, but you tend to hold on to many things that are not good for you, such as toxic thoughts. So even though you have an earth sign, you may not always be grounded because you carry ideas and opinions that are not good for you. That’s why your autumnal equinox ritual should be about grounding yourself.
That means you’ll want to create a ritual where you walk barefoot in your backyard (make sure you clean the yard before you do that if you have a dog!), or you can take a walk in a local park so that you can enjoy the nature around you. That will help clear out any baggage you’re holding on to, and you’ll feel refreshed.
Gemini – Stay focused on one thing
Gemini, you are versatile and like to have fun. You need a lot of stimulation, and as a result you tend to jump from one thing to another. The best autumnal equinox ritual for you is to focus on one thing. Yes, it will be a challenge. However, challenge yourself to focus on one project at a time.
If you want to start a craft, focus on starting and finishing it before moving on to the next one. You may also want to add crystals to this ritual, and the best ones for your zodiac sign are moonstone, Tiger’s Eye, aquamarine, sodalite, and clear quartz. Keep them with you as you focus on one thing at a time.
Cancer – Let your emotions flow
Cancer, you are very emotional, and one of the best autumnal equinox rituals for you is to let your emotions flow no matter what. The best thing you can do on this day is to create a ritual with photos of loved ones and a comfortable environment. Grab a journal and release all the emotions that come through you into that journal.
If you want to cry, scream, and release feelings of anger and resentment because you aren’t appreciated enough, then you want to do that. The purpose of this ritual is to feel better and lighter, to be in the spirit to support yourself, and also to be the great support to others that you know them to be. Keep moonstone with you while you do this ritual.
Leo – Take advantage of what you want to manifest
Leo, you love to shine, but you are also very stubborn and stick to what you want. But that’s not always a bad thing, and you can make good use of it. That’s why the autumnal equinox is the time to think about what you want out of life and figure out how you’re going to manifest that. You need to accept how your life is changing and work to become more flexible.
It bothers you that you often feel like you’re not getting what you want, and the autumnal equinox is the time to create a manifestation ritual in which you think about what you want and develop an action plan to go after it. The best crystals to keep with you during this ritual are citrine, tiger’s eye, red agate, rock crystal, pyrite, rose quartz and amethyst.
Virgo – Have some fun and make some intentional messes
Virgo, you are very analytical and want everything to be neat and clean. What if you challenge yourself and deliberately make a mess? Does that idea worry you? You’ll want to create a fall ritual of making a mess to strike a balance between overly clean and humanly messy. No one talks about taking a garbage can and deliberately dumping it on the ground.
Have fun by doing an art project with friends or preparing a meal with lots of ingredients. You may experience some relief if you do this. You’ll want to keep some crystals nearby that can help you get rid of clutter. These are unakite, moss agate, rainbow fluorite and red jasper.
Libra – Start by taking back your power
Libra, you need peace and balance, and sometimes that peace you need costs you. It can cost you your strength. The Sun has entered your sign and you will want to make the most of your energy in regards to balance. Now is the time to take inventory of your relationships. Do you give some of your friends more than they give you?
This will be awkward because you don’t like conflict, but you should talk to them about how you think the relationship is one-sided. And if they don’t give back after giving them a chance, cut ties because remember: relationships are about give and take. The best crystals to use during this ritual to evaluate your friendships are lapis lazuli, rainbow moonstone, tourmaline quartz, lepidolite, and kunzite.
Scorpio – Practice self-acceptance
Scorpio, you are intense and passionate, and there are parts of you that you know you don’t like. You don’t want to know about your shadow self. The best autumnal equinox ritual you can do is to embrace it and journal. Go to a private room, which you always do when you have the chance, grab a journal and pour your heart into it.
Remember something: your diary is private and no one else can see it except you. This is not the time to hold back, and that is the only way you can achieve your goal of self-acceptance, and this ritual will help you get there. You’ll want to keep some crystals nearby to make this easier for yourself, such as turquoise, unakite, labradorite, rhodochrosite, and yellow topaz.
Sagittarius – Come together with those who do not share the same beliefs
Sagittarius, you’re constantly expanding your horizons, and one of the best things you can do during this fall ritual is get together with people who have different spiritual or religious views than you. If you only have friends who share the same idea, look into groups that can organize gatherings of people of different faiths or beliefs.
Let them talk about their beliefs and listen carefully. The purpose of this ritual is not to convert or give up your spiritual beliefs. You want to broaden your horizons and listen to the truths of others instead of focusing only on your own. If you want to keep the best crystals near you for this ritual, they are blue topaz, black onyx, amethyst, rose quartz and lapis lazuli.
Capricorn – Go and play
Capricorn, you are such a hard worker and are constantly working towards achieving that goal or organizing your office space. Your family is important to you, and you do what you can to calm things down involving them. However, what you need to do during this autumnal equinox is let go and play. Take a day off if you can or can’t, and then make sure you have some fun time.
Watch a movie you like, or do some crafts if you have young children. You need to add some fun time into your life to create some balance. If you want to create more balance, the crystals for you are rainbow fluorite, malachite, red garnet and golden tiger eye.
Aquarius – Connect with your body
Aquarius, you are a busy thinker and you get lost in your thoughts so often that you forget to tune in to your body. The best autumn ritual for you is to pay attention to your body and connect with it. What do you feel, smell, hear, see and taste when you eat? You’ll want to do things that help you connect with your body, like walking in nature, meditation, or deep breathing.
It is best to shut off your thoughts for a while and pay attention to what your body is telling you and what you are feeling. When doing this, the best crystals to hold are black onyx, amethyst, hematite, lepidolite, garnet and labradorite.
Fishing – Stay present all day
Pisces, you are very sensitive and empathetic, and you easily get lost in emotions and dreams. The best autumnal equinox ritual for you is to ground yourself and stay present, and if you can, you’ll want to do this throughout the day. Make sure that you keep your attention on the here and now, and that you also want to observe what is happening around you every day and focus even on the little things.
The best thing you can do is keep the plug unplugged. Don’t touch your phone unless you need to make a call or send a quick, necessary text message. Pay attention to the food you eat. Stay present. The best stones to help you stay present are labradorite, amethyst, bloodstone, aquamarine and clear quartz.
And those were some of the best Fall Equinox rituals based on your zodiac sign!
Those are the best rituals for your zodiac sign, and whatever autumnal equinox ritual you’re drawn to doesn’t have to match your sun sign. If you do a ritual that matches your moon or rising sign, that’s fine too. But you want to do a ritual that fits one of those big three. The crystals you choose to add to your ritual will help make it more meaningful as they can help amplify the energy you want to get out of it. Therefore, organize a beautiful autumn equinox ritual and make the most of it!
