Shadow, Balance, and Renewal
As the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo on 21st September gently clears the sky of old patterns, the Autumn Equinox arrives the following day, 22nd September, tipping the scales between day and night into perfect balance. For those following the Virgo New Moon, this is more than a seasonal marker, it’s a cosmic invitation.
The Equinox happens twice a year, when the sun crosses the equator and day and night are nearly equal. Symbolically, it’s a moment of equilibrium, a pause that asks us to notice where we’ve been and where we’re heading.
Virgo energy encourages reflection, organisation, and gentle refinement. It’s a call to cleanse, not just our spaces, but our routines, our intentions, and our inner rhythms. The recent solar eclipse amplified this energy, urging endings that make space for new beginnings.
Now, the Equinox asks us to integrate what has shifted. It’s a time to balance: to honour the shadow alongside the light, the practical with the mystical, the letting go with the planting of seeds.
Together, these two days create a portal: a chance to step into the new season with clarity, focus, and a sense of magic.
Small rituals like this can help anchor this transition.
Step into the Equinox Portal
Light a candle, breathe deeply, and release one thing that no longer serves you. Make a simple intention for the new season ahead.
Hold a Clear Quartz crystal for clarity, Citrine for renewal, and repeat:
“I release what no longer serves me and step fully into balance and new beginnings.”
Clear Quartz Crystal
Two minutes, two crystals and a doorway into a fresh season.
