My name is Jane, and I am a reiki master and astrologer.

Today, let’s take a moment to explore the astrology of the fall, and what it means for you.

On September 22, the Sun enters Libra, marking the Autumn Equinox.

The equinox is one of two points in the year when day and night are equal in length. Astrologically, this represents balance — between light and dark, inner and outer worlds, self and other. It invites reflection on where you may be out of balance and calls you to restore harmony in your life.

The equinox acts as a threshold — a liminal space — where energies shift from the active, outward-facing energy of summer to the inward, reflective quality of autumn.

This year, the equinox is happening the day after the last of two eclipses in September, which occur on September 7 and September 21. Eclipses happen in 2s or 3s every 6 months and bring great endings and great beginnings - the fated events of life.

So the themes of balance, of letting go of what no longer serves you to maintain that balance, are powerful. And this equinox is intertwined by the fateful quality of the eclipses.

Here are the areas of life you might be experiencing this shift in September and for the next several months based on the astrology of the eclipses.

These are best heard with your rising sign, which you can find through many free astrology websites, you just need your birthdate, birth location, and birthtime, usually found on your birth certificate. But your sun sign will work too.
