Today we welcome the Autumn Equinox, and it’s a rare spectacle when night and day are equal, and the world pauses on the knife-edge between light and dark. Balance hangs in the air, fragile and necessary. Daylight will now shrink, darkness will stretch its fingers across our hours, and the question is clear: what in your life needs restoration? What old habits, commitments, or patterns have reached their expiry date, waiting for release?
Libra season has begun, and yes, you’ve seen it in every horoscope column ever: the scales. Balance. But balance is rarely simple. Summer asked you to stretch, to blaze trails of courage and freedom. Now autumn is asking you to stop, to look inward, and ask the harder questions: where am I holding on too tightly? Where am I clinging to comfort at the cost of growth?
Your inner voice will rise now, whispering truths about your career, your habits, your partnerships. You’ll see where energy is wasted, where attention is misaligned, where desires lie dormant. The path forward demands courage: to slow down, to observe, to decide what stays, what goes, and what must be reborn.
Autumn calls you to evolution. Some of your deep fears might emerge on the scene (insecurities, attachments, the magnetic pull of the familiar) but you can answer with intention. You can step into the darkened hours knowing that even as light fades, a new way of existing is quietly forming.
Your horoscope for the Autumn Equinox
The season cracks open the mirror of your relationships. You can armour up, or you can learn that true courage is letting someone see you unguarded.
Your rituals whether it’s your morning coffee, or the way you fold your sheets become spells that shape your future. Order isn’t control, it’s a love letter to stability.

Creativity isn’t a side quest, it’s the plot twist. The question is, will you distract yourself with endless beginnings, or dare to write one thing all the way to its end?
The call isn’t just to return home, but to redefine what home even means. Walls can protect, but they can also imprison. Yet, what legacy are you building as you cocoon?
Your mindset in this season is everything, so speak wholesome words within. Think of Toni Morrison reminding us that language is agency, not just decoration. Gossip can drain you, but storytelling can crown you.
The harvest is you. Not the endless to-do list, not the small ways you try to atone for imperfection. But beware: service without self-respect is just self-erasure.
The mask is cracking, and that’s a good thing. Performance has kept you alive, kept you adored, but your season insists on something bolder: authenticity. Balance is not about pleasing everyone else.
The veil thins, and you walk it like a second skin. You’ve always known endings aren’t endings, they’re your compost. Rebirth requires surrender. Trust the rot, it knows how to feed you.

The arrow is drawn back, trembling with potential. Your next expansion wants you to believe in the horizon again. Cynicism will give you cleverness; faith will give you freedom. Which is the greater risk?
The mountain calls, as it always does, but this time it asks: what are you climbing for? Legacy without integrity is a ruin waiting to happen. The season asks you to align your ladder with your values, even if it means slower progress.
Rebellion without vision is just noise. Sink yourself into the study of philosophy, or spiritual practice to sharpen your radical edges into something lasting. The world doesn’t need another hot take.
The tide pulls you deeper, into the swells of intimacy and vulnerability. Merging is beautiful, but the risk of losing yourself is real. This is a season of sacred negotiations: how do you surrender without dissolving?
