Autumn Equinox: Balance & Leadership

This autumn, see how best to maintain your equilibrium and enter the new season with your best foot forward.

Aries
Though you might be tempted to storm into the fall season like the warrior you are, a little patience will go a long way. Try to mellow out your ferocious approach to life by expressing your energy through exercise, dancing, boxing and other physical activity.

Taurus
With expansive Jupiter in your sign as the season shifts, you might be tempted deal with your insecurities by overindulging. While comfort is good, too much comfort can end be detrimental. Don’t deprive yourself, but don’t obsess on your next treat either.

Gemini
The more serious tone of fall can be a drag for you. Take your inherent need to communicate and bring it inside. This is the perfect time to start a journal, blog or other writing outlet to explore your innermost thoughts.

Cancer
You love getting out those fall sweaters and making delicious treats for friends and family. This is great -- until you get nostalgic for times past. Try to blend your past, present and future by sharing stories, recipes and other goodies with your family’s current generation.

Leo
Sometimes you’ve got to know when to slow down and take a time out. Fall is the perfect season for self-reflection and down time; make the most of it by refining your look and getting clear on your heart’s desire.

Virgo
Fall inspires you to make sure everything’s right in the world. Though you may sometimes bite off more than you can chew, you’ll probably do a pretty good job with whatever you pursue. Just make sure that you’re making the world a better place for yourself as well as others.

Libra
An inner and outer beautification and balancing project is perfect for you now. Whether you book a day at the spa, or just redo yourself at home, this is the season to take a little time out to reconnect with your own sense of inner peace and balance.

Scorpio
As a Scorpio, you love the transformational feeling of fall. Now is the time to release any false parts of yourself in the same gentle way that the leaves drift from the trees. You’d benefit from a retreat where you can spend time contemplating life in your own company.

Sagittarius
The longer days and shorter nights of fall give you plenty of opportunity to learn about something you’ve been interested in for a while. Plan out new adventures and places to explore. Keep your imagination active and your body physically fit.

Capricorn
Try to balance out the fast-pace of fall with some quiet time at home. You can get so caught up in the flow of work and external commitments that you forget to nurture your inner spark. A few home-cooked meals and time spent with family and friends will help you to maintain your pace.

Aquarius
Though fall may signal you to dive back into work-related activities, remember to find balance in your life with downtime as well. Nurture your inner-rebel!

Pisces
The poetic beauty of fall can make you swoon. Just try to remember to keep your feet on the ground, enjoy the gorgeousness but don’t forget about bills, deadlines and other work-related realities.
