The Autumnal Equinox 2025

On September 22nd, at 11:19 AM PDT the Sun enters the sign of Libra, and Fall has begun! We’ve left behind the Summer months and the cool weather of Autumn is with us. This is a beautiful time of year with the changing colors of the trees, the harvest of our gardens, and the knowledge that we are moving toward our much loved holidays.

Every Equinox and Solstice are like high holidays in Astrology. They represent a new chapter in life, a new beginning. If we take part in the celebration and cast our vision toward the possibilities it provides us, we can change it up and take the next step. For centuries cultures have marked these moments in time with ceremonies and festivals, giving thanks for what has been and blessing what is to come.

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, ruled by the planet Venus. All Cardinal signs begin seasons, the first month of a new interval of time beginning. These signs are natural leaders, as they lead the seasons. Air signs are intellectual and process information methodically. This particular sign is all about fairness and balance and looks out for the underdog. It is relationship oriented, and many Libras are counselors able to hear both sides of relationships and help to settle the differences. Venus is the planet of Love, Beauty and Harmony, all things that Librans stand for.

This new beginning happens just hours after the New Moon and partial Solar Eclipse, heightening the energies of this Equinox. After closing the door of the “Virgo Portal”, we’ve stepped out of the Earth's energies and grounded approach, into the mental landscape of Libra. The Grand Air Trine is still in effect on the Equinox, between the Sun, Uranus and Pluto. (Refer to the last article) Trines are the most favorable of all aspects, especially a Grand Trine. We are blessed with hope and possibilities.

The Sun in Libra is opposite the planet Saturn in its last couple degrees of Pisces, and Neptune exactly opposite in Aries. The Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries began in early 2025, with Saturn entering Aries in May 2025.These two planets were very close in late June and July 2025 before Saturn retrograded into Pisces in September. Both will re-enter Aries and reach their exact conjunction in February 2026. This signifies a once-in-a-generation moment that combines Saturn's structure with Neptune's idealism, potentially causing confusion, or bringing clarity to bold new visions and actions. It may require a period of reflection before fully moving forward in February 2026.

We have much to settle in our relationships with each other, and now is the time where we hold space for that to take place. Beginning with a thought, blooming into action, and culminating in love. The way to understand others is by for just a moment, attempting to “walk in their shoes” with all they have lived through. Only then do we have enough compassion and wisdom to change what needs changing and see things differently. The umbrella of love is what we invite others to join us under, for safety and justice for all.
