Falling between September 21–23, the Autumn Equinox, or Mabon, marks the moment when day and night are once again in equal balance. It is a turning point in the year—one that invites reflection, gratitude, and conscious preparation as the light begins its gradual descent.
This season has long been associated with harvest and reckoning. The abundance of the year is visible now, and with it comes discernment: what has grown strong, what has reached completion, and what must be released before winter. The Autumn Equinox is not only about giving thanks for what has been gathered, but about choosing what will be carried forward.
Where the Spring Equinox opens outward toward growth, the Autumn Equinox turns inward. It asks for balance between effort and rest, holding and letting go, celebration and contemplation. This is a time to honor both fullness and transition—recognizing that each depends on the other.
Ways to Work with Autumn Equinox Energy
- Reflect on the season’s efforts and acknowledge what has come to fruition
- Practice gratitude for both abundance and the lessons gained along the way
- Restore balance within your home, altar, and daily rhythm
- Prepare intentionally for the quieter, inward months ahead
The Autumn Equinox reminds us that balance is not passive—it is a conscious, ongoing practice of adjustment and care.
