Fall Equinox 2020
The Fall Equinox represents harvest, embracing change, and creating a vision for the year ahead. At the beginning of this year I talked about planting the seed for 2020, making good and wholesome decisions for yourself. Now it’s time to reap what you sow.
This year has changed all of us. I know for sure that I’m not even the same person I was at Spring Equinox this year.
But may this new season bring positive change, facing the unknown and settling into a new and better reality.
Scientific Facts
There are two equinoxes every year – in September and March– when the Sun shines directly on the Equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal.
Seasons are opposite on either side of the Equator, so the equinox in September is also known as the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and is considered the first day of fall.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is known as the spring equinox and marks the first day of spring
Spiritual Significance
Spiritually, there is also a lot happening during this time as the ebb and flow of energies shifts with the seasons.
According to Tanaaz, as Mother Nature prepares for the cold embrace of winter, so should we prepare to let go.
Now, as the leaves begin to fall and the weather gets cooler, Mother Nature begins preparing for a type of death, and we too may feel called to let things go. We may also feel a need to 'put things on ice' or to release our attachment to taking action and making decisions in order to see where things may flow on their own.
Astrologers, in particular, believe today's equinox is all about balance. The scales will be balanced and we will be able to experience the merging of these two energies to the point where we can feel them as one.
And that could offer a moment of clarity when you become one with yourself, nature, and those around you.
