Equinox 9/23/07
Sept. 23, 2007: The Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is the astronomical ushering in of Fall. It is one of two days in the annual cycle where the sun may be observed directly over the Earth’s Equator, and day and night hours are of nearly the same duration. It is a time of balance in the Heavens between day and night, a transition from the long, light, warm days to the darker, cooler days of Autumn, and a time of thanks-giving for crops now full and ready for harvest. It is a time of recognition and reverence for the seasonal cycle and the coming colder, darker days of Winter. It is a time of reflection upon the bounty provided us, a time of thankfulness for the light and warmth which has shined upon us and a time to prepare for the next turn of the seasons. It is a homecoming of sorts – a return to the heart and hearth. A time to gather together: the gathering of the harvest, the gathering of friends and family. It is time for the blessings to be reaped and shared, a time of activity, of joy and celebration.
There are all kinds of symbolism and meanings from a wide variety of religions and beliefs attached to this day or those around it, but whatever your perspective on the equinox, it provides a good opportunity for self-reflection…
- What things are you gathering to you? What are you manifesting? When did you sow those seeds?
- How has balance shown upon you this past season? How will balance affect you in the coming months?
- For which things are you thankful, and which blessings are shining upon you now? What do you have to celebrate?
May this day find you balanced and Blessed…
Namaste.
