Fall Equinox Ritual for Balance, Self-Care, and Healing

Writer's picture: Katherine ObregonKatherine Obregon

An equinox is one of the two times of the year when the amount of daylight and nighttime hours are just about of equal length. The Vernal equinox marks the start of spring, and the Autumnal equinox marks the start of fall. The Fall Equinox is brings balance and harmonized energy. Equal day and night. Equal sun and moon. This balance and equilibrium is excellent for energy work. It is time to usher in the cycle of the second harvest. The seeds that you planted in the spring are coming into fruition.


Your intentions, dreams, and desires are your seeds. The more attention you give to them, along with tending to your inner structure and self, the greater your harvest will be. Just like you can't plant seeds and then "hope for the best" and forget about them, you also can't just wish for something and then never follow up.


INTENTION + ACTION = SUCCESS


Mabon, named after the Welsh god of the harvest, is a time of equal day and night, marking the astronomical transition from summer to fall. It symbolizes the second harvest, where we reap the rewards of our hard work and appreciate the abundance surrounding us. As we reflect on the cyclical nature of life, Mabon encourages us to find equilibrium and harmony within ourselves and our environment. Mabon provides an opportunity to deepen our connection with nature and embrace the changing seasons. Take a walk in the woods and witness the transformation of the leaves, from vibrant greens to fiery reds and golden yellows. Gather fallen leaves, acorns, or pine cones to create beautiful and meaningful decorations for your home or altar (more on this, later). Engaging in activities like gardening, foraging for wild mushrooms, or participating in a local harvest festival can further immerse you in the spirit of Mabon. Gratitude lies at the heart of Mabon celebrations. Take a moment to express appreciation for the gifts of the Earth and the abundance in your life.


The Fall Equinox is also an absolute reset in energy, as the astrological chart of this exact moment will color the energy from now until the arrival of the Winter Solstice on December 21st.

Additionally, the following ritual is designed to open our minds and hearts while also communicating our desire to seek a deep Soul-Universe communion in the months and season ahead.


The Ritual


You will need:

- A piece of Rose Quartz

- A pink candle

-Rose (or other sweet) essential oil

-A small bowl of fruit juice


Process:

-Begin by cleansing your candle with saltwater, Sage, or Palo Santo to remove any unwanted energies from it.

-Next, anoint your candle from wick to base with the essential oil. Set your dish with juice next to the candle as an offering to Venus and begin to take several deep, cleansing breaths.

-Once you feel calm and tapped into your intuition, light your candle, visualizing yourself immersed in a beautiful pink bubble of love and light. Allow yourself to feel the bliss and once you feel ready, repeat the following mantras as many times as you like:


  • “Like lover Venus, I seek perfect balance and harmony in my life.”

  • “Like the Moon, I shine light on my emotional richness and resilience.”

  • “As above, so below. As within, so without. As the Universe so the soul.”

  • "I remove all blockages and mindsets that are limiting me and I step into my power."


-Hold your rose quartz to your heart and head as you repeat the mantras. Infuse it with the energy of your words and run it over the flame to seal in intention.

-Allow your candle to burn down completely, then leave the juice absorbing the rays of the Moon and the next day, pour the juice into your favorite outdoor plant.
