As the Autumnal Equinox dawns on September 22, 2025,
we are offered a rare and unequivocal moment of equilibrium – day and night in
perfect balance, light and shadow mirrored with clarity. This is not merely a
celestial event, but rather an invitation for deliberate reflection and
conscious alignment within ourselves.
In the rhythm of the seasons, the Equinox reminds us
that growth and release are intertwined. This is the perfect time of the year
to take stock of the intellectual, emotional and practical labors you have
invested since the year began. It is helpful to recognize both what you have
successfully cultivated and what must now be relinquished to prepare for the
months ahead. Our elders believed that there is profound wisdom in acknowledging the cycle of
harvest: each achievement is paired with an opportunity to release excess and
reclaim balance.
On the other hand, academically and experientially,
this is a juncture to pause to identify areas where your
commitments are disproportionate…perhaps personal aspirations have been
subordinated to obligations, or routine has eclipsed creativity. It could be
helpful to allow the equinox to guide a recalibration, to restore equilibrium
among efforts, relationships and personal growth, keeping in mind that intention
and awareness are the instruments through which renewal manifests.
Let this Autumn Equinox be a deliberate threshold.
As celestial forces equalize light and darkness, align your actions with inner
harmony. Harvest what is beneficial, release what no longer serves and step
consciously into the emerging season with measured resolve. In this balance
lies both clarity and the quiet power to advance meaningfully, honoring the
cycles of nature as well as the cycles of your own life.

● Short scientific briefing on AUTUMNAL EQUINOX:
The Autumnal Equinox is an astronomical event, nearly
noticed by everyone, marking the arrival of fall in Northern
Hemisphere. During the equinox, the night & day have almost the same
length (12 hours) throughout the
world. The word "equinox" derives from Latin, meaning “equal
night". The equinox happens when the equator passes the centre of the sun.
This is when the North & South Poles of the Earth are not tilted towards or
away from the sun, as at other times, but are aligned so as to give,
theoretically, the same amount of daylight in both of the Earth's hemispheres.
