The four seasons are a representation of the circle of creation because everything in life is cyclical. Also known as the season of maturity, this year’s fall equinox will officially kick off on Sept. 22 at 9:03 p.m. EST. This occurs when the Northern and Southern hemispheres experience an equal amount of daylight.

Astrologically, the autumn equinox marks the beginning of Libra season, when we're reminded of the beauty in compromise. Balance and equality are everything during this astro season, and if you happen to entertain the idea of #cuffingSZN, now you know why they say, "It takes two to tango."

Here’s how the 2022 fall equinox will affect each sign:

Aries (March 21—April 19)

Conversations are much-needed, but they aren’t always easy to have, Aries. However, during this year’s fall equinox, the cosmos is presenting you with an opportunity to relay the message, perhaps in a way you weren’t expecting, too.

Taurus (April 20—May 20)

It’s a wonderful day to declutter your living space, or simply kick it back with a nice warm cup of coffee, Taurus. Something about your routine is in need of a pick-me-up, so feel free to spruce up the aesthetic of your day-to-day for the time being.

Gemini (May 21—June 21)

Libra season always feels like a treat, Gemini. And it’s because of the sun entering your festive fifth house space. Whether it be a romantic love interest who piqued your fancy, or a creative project you have in the works, your daydreams are extra sweet.

Cancer (June 22—July 22)

Make yourself at-home, Cancer. The fall equinox feels extra cozy for you, and it’s because of the sun’s journey through your domestic fourth house of home, family and innermost feelings. It’s a day for prioritizing your sense of security, and sensual delights.

What makes you happy, Virgo? Whether it be spending time in solitude, or pondering your next big adventure, one thing’s for sure: you’re being extra discerning with your energy. Follow your intuition, and be kinder to yourself.

Libra (Sept. 22—Oct. 23)

Happy birthday, Libra. Your solar season is officially in session, and there’s no one better to celebrate this seasonal shift with. The best part? Mercury is also joining forces with the sun which, in turn, enlightens you with a brand-new perspective on things.

Scorpio (Sept. 22—Oct. 23)

Take a load off, Scorpio. Your birthday season’s around the corner, and you’re going to need all the rest you can get. Besides, you may have some pondering to do in the time being, especially those of you prepping for an exciting career venture.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22—Dec. 21)

Gather with your favorite co-workers, and raise a toast to the future, Sagittarius. Looking for love? You’re in for a sweet treat, even if it’s something as quaint as being in good company. Love is all around you today, so don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone.

Capricorn (Dec. 22—Jan. 19)

Take the lead, Capricorn. If you feel like you’re on top of the world today, it’s not a coincidence. You’re being called to take charge and honor your sense of authority, as the sun makes its sparkling debut alongside Mercury in Libra, and your public 10th house space today. You’re eloquent and charming.

Aquarius (Jan. 20—Feb. 18)

There’s so much you can learn from your connections, Aquarius. And with the sun entering Libra during today’s fall equinox, there’s no better time to explore your horizons, and step outside of your routine comforts. Also, do your research before you make a commitment.

Pisces (Feb. 19—March 20)

Sharing is caring, but you already knew that, Pisces. Although, if you’re feeling intuitively drawn to nurture a particular connection during this year’s fall equinox, it’s certainly not for nothing. Important conversations between you and a significant other are also likely. The more you’re willing to compromise, the better.
