September 22, 2022 — Today, the Sun enters Libra, marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Spring in the Southern. No matter where we are, we can feel the balance of the Scales, as day and night are of equal length.

As the Sun leaves Virgo, we are shifting out of self-criticism and judgment into acceptance. We can now orient more to our relationships than our journey of self. Here, we enter the season of romance, when peace, harmony, and negotiation are more possible. It’s time to become more nuanced, seeing both sides of the story with greater ease and neutrality.

Just after the Equinox, a Mercury cazimi occurs—Mercury and the Sun meet at 0º Libra. Insights abound, cutting through the fogginess of the past couple of weeks. This is a good day to journal, calm our spinning thoughts, and feel into the possibilities that will reveal themselves over the next two months.

The next Mercury cazimi arrives during the Lunar Eclipse on November 8. It falls on the galactic center—a powerful point of cosmic wisdom. We can relax with our confusion and discomfort now, clearing our minds and preparing for the downloads of wisdom and fresh understanding that are on the way.

The Sun-Neptune opposition of the last couple weeks has not been easy, especially with Mercury in retrograde and Mars in his shadow. It’s been shaky and confusing, and we’ve been needing lots of rest and retreat. However, we can trust this process, knowing that no feeling is final. Clarity and understanding are beginning to emerge. We only need to surrender to our unfoldment, allowing feelings to arise as they are, offering them love and not fear, until they inevitably transform into wisdom.

Happy Equinox! Enjoy the abundance of balance and acceptance available to us today.
