The Fall Equinox, also called the Autumnal Equinox or Mabon, is the time of year when the season changes from summer to fall. Every year it falls between September 21-24 in the northern hemisphere. On this day the sun is directly above the equator, balancing out the sunlight on the northern and southern hemispheres. The placement of the sun on the Fall Equinox allows a balance in light, giving us a 12 hour day with a 12 hour night.
There are many great spiritual practices to do in celebration of the Fall Equinox. We would like to share our top three favorites.

Bring balance back into your life. Balance is significant for the Fall Equinox because it is a day with equal parts light and darkness. However, this year balance is even more significant because the Fall Equinox lands on 9/22/22. In numerology, 2 is a symbol of harmony, positivity and balance. A great way to bring balance into your life is by first acknowledging the abundance you have received, then give what you can with gratitude. You can also achieve balance when you are mindful of stressors that often come with this season and be prepared to practice healthy coping skills to manage them. Balance can come with positive thinking as well. When you have a negative thought, balance it out with a positive version of the same thought.
