The autumn equinox, or the first day of autumn, falls on September 22 this year. With this date just a couple of weeks away, it may be time to start preparing for the change of season. And according to one astrologer, you should be looking to your star sign to discover just what the autumn months have in store for you.
Speaking to online psychic chat company Psychic World, celebrity psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman has revealed just what the autumn equinox will bring for each sign. Including one that is set to enter a ‘season of love’ starting from the first day of the new season.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries season starts during the spring equinox, making those with an Aries sign the complete opposite of everything the autumnal equinox brings with it. While you’re likely to be an upbeat optimist, autumn is typically thought of as being much more melancholy.
Inbaal recommends: « Prepare for the darker months of the year by starting your Summer prep early – surround yourself with bright colours and Europop music in anticipation of brighter days. »
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
As a fan of stability and balance, autumn is likely to be your favourite time of the year. Prepare for the dark season ahead with a stack of books, a new fluffy blankie and a hot chocolate drawer. It’s not just the equinox itself you’re looking forward to, but it’s also about the six months that follow.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
« You’re the party animal of the zodiac and thus might not feel totally comfortable about the themes of balance and peacefulness, which the Autumn Equinox brings, » says the expert.
« But every party has an after-party, and that’s where you come in. Get ready for the Equinox by prepping your own space for social gatherings and by catching up with everyone you know to ensure you don’t miss out on any launches and events for the whole of winter. »
Cancer (June 21 – July 33)
The autumn equinox is a welcome arrival for family-minded and indoorsy Cancer. Now everyone will be back from their parties and gathering in your living room, which you’ll be sure to love. Prepare for the equinox by turning on the oven and reaching for your mixing bowl and a wooden spoon.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
With the sun being the ruler of Leo, the autumn equinox calls on you to check your desires. Inbaal adds: « With 12 hours of light and 12 hours of night, only half the day can feel your influence. Prepare for this reduction of sunshine by thinking of all the ways you can benefit from being less visible. »
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
The autumn equinox comes at the very end of Virgo season, acting as a full stop for you. This year, it’s also marking the beginning of love season for you as Venus moves into your sign. Prepare for the equinox by packing summer away — swimsuits, sandals and the 80s mix tape — until March, and the spring equinox.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
Equinoxes are a Libra’s favourite time of the year, with the balance of light and dark forming the very essence of your character. Prepare for the equinox by taking the time to think about what is out of balance in your life, and resolve to bring back equilibrium by the 21st.
Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)
For Scorpios, Inbaal said: « The Autumn Equinox is a moment of balance for all, none more so than for you, Scorpio, because in a couple of days Mars, planet of passion and battle, will enter your sign. This means that the coming few weeks are going to be quite active and restless. Prepare by taking full advantage of the momentary calm and resting as much as possible on the 21st. »
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The Sagittarius is an adventurous character who loves to travel and have fun, making the soothing vibes of the autumn equinox feel somewhat foreign to you. Prepare for this peaceful period by bidding farewell to the loud sounds of summer and getting used to the silence of autumn.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
« Capricorn is one of the most focused and ambitious signs, and balance is not in their lexicon, » said the expert. « The autumn equinox is a time to reflect on slowing down here and there. Prepare for the equinox by allowing some rest periods and even some fun activities into your life, sign up for a class, or join a social club. »
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius may be one of the calmer signs of the zodiac, but you’re not actually quite as balanced as everyone thinks you are, and you often take life too seriously or go too far in your efforts to help others. For you, the equinox is a time to answer this question: Am I using up all my energy to help others and forget to help myself? Prepare for the equinox by meditating on your own relationship with yourself.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces season ends on the spring equinox, and now here comes the autumn equinox, which is so different from you. Where you’re sensitive and romantic, the autumn equinox is methodical and organised. To get ready for the coming dark season, Inbaal advised: « Prepare for the change of vibe by taking long strolls out in nature and considering your emotional, compassionate traits. »
