Autumn Equinox

Temperance, balance, renewal

Nothing is whole without the acceptance and acknowledgement of all.

Your higher self chose this card because the autumn equinox is a wonderful time to consider where you might be experiencing imbalance within your life. Are there ways you’re living to the extreme? Are there areas in your life that have been overlooked or perhaps forgotten about entirely? Typically things such as spa days, time off, more rest and more time spent with friends are the first things put on the back-burner but it can just as easily be creative expression, having new experiences, cleaning your space, forgetting to pay a bill or even being your best self at work.

If you have been in a period of extreme action, now is a good time to begin entering a phase of rest, renewal and passiveness. Attempting to force your way forward may actually be the reason why you’re not receiving the results you’re hoping for. Likewise, if you have felt stagnant or are falling victim to the extremes of laziness, receiving this card is your sign to renew your motivation to prevent anything else from falling through the cracks. Balance is not just related to physical action: balance of the mind is also a worthwhile cause. Consider whether you’ve experienced a period of pessimism and can use a more joyful outlook on life. The opposite might also be true: are you using positive thinking and speech to bypass what you’re truly feeling?
