At 1:59 PM: Sun enters Libra (Fall Equinox / Mabon)
The sun crosses into Libra this afternoon, marking the autumn equinox and the year's perfect balance point between light and dark. Mabon has long been celebrated as a harvest festival, a moment to give thanks for what's grown and to prepare for the introspective months ahead. Cook something with whatever is in season near you. Libra season shifts the collective mood toward collaboration, charm, and peacemaking after Virgo's more solitary, task-focused energy. Over the coming weeks, relationships, fairness, and aesthetic pleasure take center stage. Use today's equinox energy to consciously balance your own life: work against rest, giving against receiving, solitude against connection. Name the one that's been losing lately. Give thanks out loud to one person. Libra season runs about a month, which is long enough to correct a lopsided habit. Take stock of what you've harvested this year, literally or figuratively, and set a graceful, cooperative tone for the season of diplomacy and partnership now beginning.
