We know the changing seasons are key points in nature’s cycle of life but, synonymously, each season also represents a stage of life within ourselves. These four significant days reminds us of the process of shedding and rebirth that our planet is constantly moving through. While, during a solstice, you will usually achieve more clarity and connect with your souls purpose more. The energy of an equinox will generally bring more abundance into your life. Astronomically, the four seasons centre around these significant days. At the solstices (June and December), we celebrate the longest and shortest days of the year. There’s another equinox at the start of spring and the rest of the cycle includes the summer solstice and winter solstice. DO THE OTHER SEASONS HAVE POWERFUL ENERGY TOO? So essentially, the autumn equinox marks the start of a (usually spiritual) journey inward that will last a few months.

During this season, we spend more time inside with loves ones and generally move at a slower pace than in summer. And, as a result, on the day of any equinox, day and night are (pretty much) both of equal length. A rare occurrence, the earth is in direct alignment with the sun. Falling this year on 22 September, it signals the moment that the earth’s equator passes directly through the centre of the sun’s pathway. A time of annual transition marking the first day of the new season, the autumn equinox can occur anytime between 21 and 24 September.
