This year’s autumnal equinox occurs on September 23, when the sun aligns with the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. That’s when Libra season begins and the days and nights have the same number of hours. However, there is a spiritual factor that comes with this time of year, when you will feel the urge to find balance within yourself.
You will also want to make sure that you approach each area of your life the same way. And on the more exciting side, you can enjoy the fall-colored leaves and all things pumpkin spice, if you so choose, and of course Halloween or Samhain. So let’s see how you will celebrate the autumnal equinox based on your zodiac sign.
Aries – Try to live in the moment
Aries, you are the one who is always on the go and always wants to stay busy. You take on many projects and work on them at the same time. You also have a competitive side and you often worry about how you will fare in the future. That’s why you’re the type who has to deal with everything now.
Finding balance is difficult for you, but the best way to celebrate the equinox is to focus on living in the moment. Ground yourself so that you live in the moment. Taking a walk in nature and focusing on what you smell, see and hear is a great way to practice slowing down to live in the moment.
Taurus – Detox and energize yourself by doing yoga
Taurus, you are the type that gets addicted to routines and that is why you don’t like change. Remember that girl’s old song from Expose, Seasons Change? Well, summer is coming to an end and fall is setting in, and Taurus, you’re going to have to immerse yourself in the spirit of that fact.
Therefore, one thing you can do to ease the change of this season is to do a yoga workout early in the morning on the first day of fall. This way you can give yourself energy to deal with the change, and at the same time it is a great way to detox yourself. You may want to do this for a while, but the first day of fall is a great way to start.
Gemini – Celebrate with friends
Gemini, you are a communicator and a social butterfly; because you are flexible, you will welcome the change of season with open arms. There’s no better way to celebrate the autumnal equinox than by seeing your friends. Join them for a cup of coffee at Starbucks or lunch with them.
Discuss what you want to achieve this fall and also what other ways you want to enjoy the new season. Talking about it will give you a lot of information and ideas about how to do that, and you’ll have a lot of fun doing it.
Cancer: Tune into your emotions
Cancer, the New Moon is still days away, and it’s not too early to set the intention to tap into your emotions and become more self-aware. During the autumnal equinox, you can use the moon as a self-actualization tool to boost your self-confidence and help you better understand what is happening around you.
This is also a time to say affirmations that will help you boost your self-esteem and help you better manage your emotions. As you increase your self-confidence, understand yourself better and manage your emotions better, you will be much happier. That’s a fantastic way to celebrate the first day of fall.
Leo – Do a seasonal activity
Leo, you have to do something fun to celebrate, so the best way to celebrate the autumnal equinox is to visit a pumpkin patch or go apple picking. But you’ll want to go with your friends and embrace fall when you do.
And when you’re there with your friends, you have the option to share the photo on Instagram or make a video about it on TikTok because you want the world to see how you celebrate the autumn equinox. Plus, you’ll want to look back on that day and reminisce about how much fun you had.
Virgo – Work on your positivity
Virgo, you admit that you can be negative because you are very analytical by nature, and you also become obsessive, which can get the best of you. The best way to celebrate the first day of fall is to challenge yourself to be more positive. You also want to hang out with people who are optimistic and who can be a good influence on you.
The best thing you can do is suppress the negativity of others by thinking more positive thoughts and saying positive things. You will want to recite affirmations that will help you keep yourself positive.
Libra – Meditation
Libra, you need balance and you appreciate beauty. Your season is starting, and the best way to celebrate is by doing a morning meditation. Meditating can create inner balance before you go about your day.
Therefore, whatever rolls you need to hit as the day progresses, you’ll be able to do it and not feel too unbalanced afterwards. That’s something you want to make a habit of, and that is meditating. However, meditating during the autumnal equinox is the best way to celebrate the new season.
Scorpio – Make use of the shadow side
Scorpio, you are mysterious, and you are also private. That’s why you’ll want to embrace that at the beginning of the autumnal equinox. You will want to tap into your dark side, your shadow side, and begin to embrace it. Since you like mysterious things, this won’t be too uncomfortable for you.
However, sharing it will be, and you don’t have to share anything unless you choose to do so with someone you trust. Embrace your shadow, however, and that will also help you have a chance to process any hidden trauma.
Sagittarius – Plan a potluck dinner
Sagittarius, you are social and like to have fun. So a fun way to celebrate the autumnal equinox is to connect with your neighborhood and local community and organize a potluck with autumn-related dishes. For example, you can have someone bring pumpkin soup and someone else bring apple pie.
You can also have someone pick up sweet potatoes, as they are a fall vegetable, and you and everyone will have a great time. Someone who invites you will remember your generosity and may even return the favor in the end.
Capricorn – Donate or volunteer at a good cause
Capricorn, you like to feel useful and help. That’s your nature, as you always have to be productive and set goals. That’s why one of the best things you can do is donate to charity or, better yet, volunteer at a nonprofit organization because it makes you feel useful and productive.
That’s an excellent way to celebrate the autumnal equinox. And the next day you will be proud of yourself for doing what you did to help others.
Aquarius – Make a gratitude list
Aquarius, you’re not the type to get angry about crazy things often. You go with the flow and do your thing. You don’t think much about the everyday things because you have much bigger ideas and thoughts. But like everyone else, you forget the blessings in your life because you easily take them for granted.
That’s why a great thing you can do during the autumnal equinox is to write a gratitude list where you can put as many things as you want. And thank the universe again for bringing these blessings into your life.
Pisces – A good time to manifest what you want
Pisces, you are dreamy and intuitive. And you have the power to make your wishes come true, because you intuitively know what you need to do to make it come true. And that’s the perfect way to celebrate the autumnal equinox. Think about what you want to attract into your life; since you are incredibly creative, imagine having it.
That’s the first step to manifesting what you want. Then, create an action plan for how you will achieve this, as the energies of early fall work in your favor.
Those are some excellent ideas to celebrate the autumnal equinox and bring positivity and fun into the fall season. And once you do, you can plan how to make the most of the season. Of course, this goes beyond viewing the beautiful autumn tree colors of orange, red, yellow and brown.
And that goes beyond grabbing a Pumpkin Spice Latte or something else. However, you’ll want to do those things too, but that’s not the only thing about fall that makes it unique. So spend the new season with those you love and appreciate and make the most of it.
