Happy fall equinox, bb! On September 22, the Sun crosses the equator and three major events happen: We start a new season (autumn), day and night are equal length, and we enter Libra season. During this time, we’re looking for balance and compassion. Relationships will take the lead as we navigate through the world; making decisions will be hard but doable if we have a little patience.
Read your fall equinox horoscope, by sign:
Aries
Relationships require work and negotiation. Give your partner more attention, but value your independence too. Give yourself plenty of me-time. You can put your needs first, even when your partnership is a top priority.
Taurus
Perfection doesn’t exist. Not on this planet or any other one. So stop putting hard-core demands on yourself. You can’t live up to them—no one can. Accept your imperfections and put less pressure on yourself.
Gemini
Romance is in the autumnal air for you, Gemini. A friendship has the opportunity to develop into something more during the fall equinox. Just take it slow before you make it Instagram official.
Cancer
Your emotions are high, as they usually are. But this time you have to ride the drama out. Yes, you may be crying on the inside, but try to keep a poker face on the outside.
Leo
People love your playful personality. But instead of texting everyone in your contact list your fave memes, find an actually meaningful hobby or project you can put all that energy into.
Virgo
You’ve been wanting your crush/boo’s attention 24/7. But now, you’re taking a step back. You trust them, but you want to make sure you’re really their one and only.
Libra
Every day is a good day with you, Libra! Don’t let any negativity stand in your way as you embrace your season, aka the best season. Keep your vibe positive and your smile big.
Scorpio
You’re extra sensitive right now, making it easier than ever for you to pick up on other people’s emotions. Let your intuition guide you as you build and develop your friendships.
Sagittarius
After a long quarantine away from your friends, you’re ready to take a socially distanced walk with a pumpkin spice latte or schedule a Zoom sesh (happy hour cocktails included) to catch up.
Capricorn
You’re spending too much time consumed with work and fighting for that promotion. But try not to stress over your professional life, Cap. The less you worry, the more opportunities will come your way.
Aquarius
You’ve got some, um, strong opinions, Aquarius, but it’s not always a good idea to share them—especially if you’re not listening to others’ POVs. Make sure you actually do know it all before arguing your points. Find a balance between speaking and listening.
Pisces
You’ve been having some intense feels, as usual. It’s okay to have a good cry once in a while, Pisces! Releasing stresses can be relaxing. Let go and you’ll feel better.
