The Fall Equinox arrives as a sacred pause, a cosmic threshold where the Earth demonstrates perfect balance
between light and dark. This moment whispers an invitation inward, toward your own inner landscape, where clarity, wisdom, and mystery coexist. In the Year of the Hermit, this equinox is not only a turning of the season, but also a call to embrace self-love, contemplation, and the slow uncovering of your inner truth.
What within you is ready to fall away, like the golden leaves drifting from the trees? What still longs to be tended, stoked, and kept
alive through the colder months ahead? The Hermit teaches us that we are never truly without a guiding light, our lantern is lit by the fire we nurture within.
Astrologically, we arrive here after a lunar eclipse in Pisces, a watery and liminal sign that revealed the deeper emotional tides pulling at our subconscious. As Virgo season closes with a solar eclipse in it's sign, we’re encouraged to gather what is useful, create grounding
rituals, and make practical plans for the darker half of the year. Libra season then opens the door to relationship, beauty, and harmony, reminding us that balance is not static, but an active dance we participate in.
This equinox portal offers medicine in the form of acceptance, witness, and integration. Like the Hermit, we are asked to pause, reflect, and carry only what is essential into the descent of autumn. Who are you becoming as you cross this threshold? Which parts of yourself are you willing to honor, tend, and bring into the second half of the year?
Perhaps most importantly—who is walking with you, offering their lantern-light as you navigate the mystery?
