Fall Equinox Horoscopes

Sept 22, 2024 - Dec 21, 2024

The Sun has entered the Cardinal Air sign of Libra, marking the Autumnal Equinox. In Tarot, the 2 of Swords represents the first decan of Libra and therefore, the beginning of fall. The 2 Swords carries the energy of Cardinal Air. Cardinal energy initiates and the element of Air is active, mental and communicative. The 2 of Swords recognizes the feeling of being at a crossroads and on the precipice of great change. Transitions can sometimes feel overwhelming and disorienting. We may be considering new options and next steps, while also being required to let go of the past. It can be a lot to juggle, and our hands feel full. We can feel paralyzed with doubt as we enter a new phase. Unsure of what to do or how to be.

This season brings us the final days of Pluto in Capricorn, where the planet has been bringing themes of transformation, death and rebirth to the Capricorn areas of our charts since 2008. Pluto will exit Capricorn forever (at least in our lifetimes) in November, and as Pluto has been dancing between the late degrees of Capricorn and early degrees of Aquarius for the past year or so, we may have been feeling the tension of being pulled in different directions; mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The pressure has been building, and this is is the season where something has to give.

As we enter autumn, we are in the thick of eclipse season. We have a solar eclipse in Libra on October 2nd. A solar eclipse is like a super charged new moon. Through this lunation, a portal of change is presenting itself to us. Eclipse seasons can mark times in our lives with major shifts, beginnings and endings. Then, on November 15th Pluto makes its final exit from Capricorn and enters Aquarius, ushering in a new karmic 20 year cycle that none of us have lived through before. We are on the verge of great collective and individual transformation, and in order to make room for new growth, some things have to die. This awareness is becoming activated within us. Can you feel it?

The houses in your natal chart that are ruled by Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra are calling for your attention this season. Awareness is key, so I am offering special horoscopes for the fall that merge the life areas that will be activated for your sign.

Fall Equinox Horoscopes

Aries

This season will confirm that a lot of steps you have taken over the past several years are getting you to where you need to be. Through forging your own path, you now have a clearer idea of how your gifts can be used to benefit the greater good. You are ready to reap the rewards that come with focusing on building community. Lessons connected to your authenticity and being seen may have changed your outlook on the future by inspiring you to have aspirations that are greater than yourself. This fall can bring in new connections and relationships that bring you a greater awareness of who you are. Through friends or lovers you may greet your shadow and find new ways to heal old wounds. However, have no fear and remember that relationships are containers for healing. You are never late in your process, but right on time.

Taurus

As this fall begins, a major shift in perspective could have you feeling ungrounded, disoriented or confused. Old goals and aspirations may no longer resonate with you now that your world view has evolved beyond your formally limited scope of understanding. You are being called to take this new mindset and carve out a more meaningful life direction. While we all have to live in the material world and sustain ourselves, you may feel that there is more to life than acquiring the fruits of your labor. Maybe you are now on top of the mountain and looking around with new eyes, and realizing that the ways in which you engage in your world building is in need of a change. This season, remember that it's ok to retreat and go inward as you integrate your new self-awareness into how you live your life. You have survived a lot, and as you have changed you need to get to know your new self uninterrupted, and away from old distractions. 

Gemini

As fall begins, you may feel like you are emerging from a deeply transformative phase that could have you feeling like a brand new person. This is a time of rebirth and you need time to adjust to being the new you, as well as space to release your former self. As you are shedding your old skin, you may be feeling a need to emerge from the depths. A period of loss may have changed you, and you may have found yourself grieving the broken promise of the life you thought you would live. This season, you may start to feel more in alignment with where you have wound up and take the first steps onto a new path of acceptance. You have learned a lot and you are wiser for it. Finding new opportunities for tapping into your creativity and sharing who you are with the world awaits you this season. This rebirth is setting you up to bring more joy into your life and now is the time to embrace and express your authentic self.

Cancer

Who you are in your closest relationships has been a theme that has been front and center in your life for some time. Over the past few years, you may have solidified bonds that are more in  alignment with who you truly are, and conversely, you may have experienced the loss of connections that were holding you back or not right for you. These experiences may have caused pain or activated old wounds that require deep healing. You are now ready to prioritize  existing relationships that help you to feel safe and secure, and through establishing this foundation, you can get to the core of who you really are and what matters most to you in this life. This fall is a great time to dig deeper with therapy or uncover your gifts through engaging with metaphysical tools that can help you unravel your many layers and heal from past trauma. Your focus this season is to turn inward so that you find the sense of stability you may be seeking within yourself.

Leo

As this season begins to unfold, daily life may look very different than it did a few years ago. These past couple of decades, you have been tasked with understanding how powerful you are. You may have broken unhealthy habits, or even generational curses. You have learned that you can do anything that you set your mind to. Tapping into our greatness can sometimes feel like a burden as we move through seasons of intense transformation and change. When things fall apart, you have realized that no one is going to save you but yourself. Through the pain, life has empowered you to prepare for stepping into situations where you feel ok taking control.  Communication is key, and you now have the confidence to be direct with your needs so that you can root into your new reality with a stable mind and clearer perspective. This season, enjoy peace of mind as a reward for a job well done.

Virgo

As fall begins, you may be focusing on your creative process or prioritizing experiencing pleasure and love. Over the past few years, you have found healing through surrendering to what brings you a sense of joy and happiness. If you have been fighting your inner critic, the battle must be won by the parts of yourself that hold no judgment. You are now ready to approach the day to day with more awareness of what gives you satisfaction and fills your cup. Your tendency to burn the candle at both ends is one way to take you out of the present moment, and you realize that this no longer serves you. Engaging with play or tapping into your inner child or teenager may be the medicine this season if you have been experiencing burnout or blockages. This season wants you to prepare to welcome in abundance, and is helping to lead you to a sense of gratitude for what you already have and use those resources to find the fulfillment you are looking for. 

Libra

You enter this new season with a stronger foundation than you may have felt you had in years. Recent changes in your private or family life may have rocked you to your core and almost knocked you off course. As a result, you could have had to completely rebuild a sense of stability and security from within, and now you are starting to feel this manifest in the outside world. Through these transitions, your extreme power and resilience has been revealed and these inner qualities are helping to prepare you for an era where you will tap into your creative potential and make an impact on the world around you with your gifts. You have a lot of love to give, and you will be able to just that when you remember that you also need to receive it in return. The balance you seek is in reciprocity, but who you are is not defined by anyone but you. This season may require solitude to regroup as you gain an understanding of who you are on your own, so you can authentically share that with others and change the world.

Scorpio

The past several years may have forced you to transform your life through sheer will and perseverance, and now this season is calling you to take time for rest and regrouping. Transforming what family and homelife mean to you will be on the agenda, and accepting that you may have to innovate or put a unique spin on tradition will be necessary in feeling fulfilled or taken care of. You like to have a tight grip on who and what you hold dear, but karmic lessons have been telling you that sometimes it is necessary to let go. Pay attention to your dreams and intuition this season, as valuable information and downloads are waiting for you to hone in on them for guidance. Getting in touch with your ancestral gifts by building an altar or tapping into your creativity by creating art or poetry that is just for you will help you access your unconscious mind and spirit that has so much to offer you in this moment. Your sense of empowerment this season will come from within, and may not be witnessed by anyone but you. 

Sagittarius

Your relationship to what you value has undergone a significant transformation over the past several years. Abundance may not mean what it used to, and you may have a new relationship to the material fruits of your labor by not having them define your self worth or who you are. Losses in the material or spiritual realms may have forced you to tap into your personal power, and now you are taking your gifts and resources to build a new sense of awareness in your everyday life. This fall, explore your city, neighborhood or immediate surroundings as if you were looking through someone else’s eyes. There is magic in the mundane and transformative experiences await you when you remember to take in the beauty of everyday life. Be open to new people and experiences that offer opportunities for a renewed perspective. You may find fated encounters that bring you more in alignment with your destined path right outside your door. This season is one that encourages you to be open and explore.

Capricorn

This season confirms how far you have come on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Not too long ago you may have longed for a different life, but having undergone a complete transformation of what guides and motivates you has shown you new ways to see your value. You require reciprocity in relationships and are now willing to advocate for it. You are creating something special in this life, and you need co-creators in your world building that match your energy. You are being called to share your gifts with the world, and this fall may find you hunkering down in preparation for making major moves. No one understands more than you that with great talent comes great responsibility, and through surviving past trials and tribulations you understand your assignment in this life more clearly. You are now establishing your legacy with confidence, control and a greater sense of who you are. As a result, you are priming yourself to step out and be seen in ways that may have struck fear in your heart before.

Aquarius

This season you are starting a rebirth. The last remnants of psychic debris and generational curses are being shaken off as you begin to embody a new way of being that is more empowering and life affirming. You may have been through some dark times over the past several years, but you have survived. However, since you have become acquainted with the darkness, the light may actually be disorienting or frightening to face. But you now understand that being accustomed to chaos is not an option, and it is now time for order. You are stepping into a calling to do great things, and not just for yourself or your own ego, but for the greater good. Your mind is expanding and you may feel a need to create a greater role for spirituality in your life as a grounding force. This fall, you may feel inspired by deepening your esoteric studies, finding a community of worship that resonates, connecting with ancestral knowledge, meditating or even by just touching grass and understanding you are one with nature can offer much needed breakthroughs.

Pisces

With recent trials and tribulations that others may have bore witness to, you may have been confronted with how you are perceived. This may have activated old wounds from the past, or even past lives, that could have you questioning everything. This fall, focus on going inward and understanding yourself better. Remember that public perception is not an actual reflection of who you are. Through tapping into your creative and healing gifts this season, you will find that a new phase of development is on the horizon. Solitude will help you unravel what unconscious patterns have you stuck in loops that you are finding take you nowhere. While other people and relationships can provide a valuable mirror, they are not the only ways in which we can see ourselves. This season asks you to trust yourself more than you trust others, especially when it comes to finding a meaningful path forward that resonates with the real you.
