Get ready to grab your broomsticks (or journals, more realistically) because the Autumn Equinox is upon us! ๐
Hey there, witchy wanderers and celestial seekers! ๐
Get ready to grab your broomsticks (or journals, more realistically) because the Autumn Equinox is upon us! ๐
Astrological Whispers we dance into this shadowy season, the cosmos has some juicy secrets to spill:
Balancing Act: The Sun slides into lovely Libra right at the equinox, bringing harmony and a chance to find your center. It's like the universe is giving us cosmic scales to weigh our lives!
Fomalhaut's Flair: Keep an eye out for Fomalhaut, our mystical Autumn Star, twinkling in the southern sky. But wait, there's more! Saturn's hanging out nearby, like two celestial BFFs having a cosmic coffee date.
Eclipse Energy: We're riding the waves of a recent Pisces lunar eclipse, stirring up emotions and intuition. Get ready for some serious "aha!" moments as the veil between worlds thins.
Magical Traditions to Honor the Equinox
Gratitude Ritual: As Mother Nature shares her harvest, it's time for us to count our blessings. Create a gratitude altar with symbols of abundance โ think colorful leaves, acorns, and apples.
Balance Meditation: Just like day and night are equal, find your inner equilibrium. Light a black candle and a white candle, breathe deeply, and visualize yourself as the fulcrum of a perfectly balanced scale.
Release Ceremony: Write down what you want to let go of on a leaf, then burn it safely or bury it. Out with the old, in with the new!
A Simple Solitary Ritual: Autumn Equinox Elemental Cleanse
Find a quiet spot outdoors or by a window.
Gather representations of the four elements: a candle (fire), a feather (air), a bowl of water, and a crystal or stone (earth).
Cast your circle and call in the elements.
Hold each item, feeling its energy cleanse and balance you.
Speak this incantation:"As summer fades and autumn ignites, I balance dark and light. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water combine, Cleanse my spirit, make it shine. Equal day, equal night, Bring balance, bring insight."
Spend a moment in quiet reflection, then close your circle.
Remember, my witchy warriors, this equinox is all about finding that sweet spot between light and shadow. It's the perfect time to dive into some serious shadow work or to simply cozy up with a good grimoire and a pumpkin spice potion. {And watch my favorite fall movie Over The Garden Wall at least twice}
May your equinox be magical, your crystals be charged, and your spirit be renewed!
Blessed be,
Astrid ๐ฎ
