Autumn Equinox 2024: What It Means for Women 50+ and Their Zodiac

5 min read

As nature transitions into fall, we too can transition into a new chapter, carrying with us the strength, wisdom, and grace that comes with age. The Autumn Equinox (on September 22nd) is a great opportunity to reflect on our own life.

In this time of equilibrium between darkness and light, can we, as individuals, seamlessly incorporate both into our daily lives? And how exactly will the Autumn Equinox impact each zodiac sign?

To find out, Online Psychic Chat provider Psychic World worked with celebrity psychic and astrologer, Inbaal Honigman, to uncover what the major shifts in the seasons and stars mean for each star sign.

“As you get ready for the equinox – she says– take a few moments to jot down the best and worst of your summer, and your biggest hopes and fears for winter. Light a candle to banish the worries and invite positivity.”

A wonderful chance for everyone to contemplate the drama and heat of summer, in contrast to the subtle cool of winter.  

What does the Autumn Equinox mean for your star sign?

The equinox serves as a reminder to embrace transitions and restore balance. It’s a moment when nature begins to shift, trees shed their leaves, and the earth prepares to rest.  For women over 50, this can mirror life’s own cycles of change. Whether it’s navigating menopause, adjusting to children leaving the nest, or shifting career goals, this season can be a reminder to embrace these changes with grace and self-compassion.

Change, after all, is not something to fear. Like the trees that shed their leaves, we too, must release what no longer serves us. The equinox invites us to let go – of old habits, outdated expectations, or perhaps the pressure to maintain an earlier version of ourselves. Instead, we can embrace the beauty of transformation, knowing that every stage of life offers new growth.

What do the stars have in store for you? Let’s find out!

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

For Aries, the equilibrium of the equinox may not hold great allure, as they lean towards extremes rather than stability. But do make an effort as the Autumn Equinox ushers in Libra season (September 23rd – October 22nd), with the whole month dedicated to finding balance. With every active day, combine a calm day. Given that Libra is your polar opposite on the zodiac wheel, this may come as a challenge, but it’s needed for a steady mind this season.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Autumn Equinox is a balanced and elegant time of year, and this speaks right to the Taureans’ souls, as they appreciate peace and equilibrium. A piece of advice for the equinox is to step out of your comfort zone,  seize the opportunity presented by the Harvest Moon on the 29th, and make plans for new and unconventional experiences.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Summer is their season, as Geminis relish a party or two, and the company of others. The approaching autumn may bring a sense of solitude, which Geminis hate. All the sensible balance of the Autumn Equinox is just plain boring to most, so the twin sign should do their best to reconnect with their inner child and all the things they love about Autumn. Consider booking a trip to view the Northern Lights, or tuning in to a Northern Lights broadcast on your phone to keep things fun and original.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The equinox is a solar phenomenon marking the perfect balance between daylight and darkness. This might not resonate as strongly with Cancers, who are lunar creatures, ruled by the moon. Hence, they are more likely to feel the impact of the Harvest Moon – a time of endings and resource gathering – on the 29th, rather than the autumn equinox, which signifies balance. Emotional Cancers can also be comforted by their favourite autumnal scents, movies and time with their loved ones this season.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Leo’s planetary ruler is the Sun, and so celestial shifts such as solstices and equinoxes will feel very impactful. The call to bid farewell to the joys of summer behind and embrace the muted tones of autumn is strong, though they can’t help but miss the sunny days. Leos should expect a powerful boost this season as the energetic shift will tap into their curiosity and passion.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

The very end of Virgo season is when the fall equinox hits – and isn’t it ironic? Under the influence of Virgo, society as a whole has been organised and neat, shedding unnecessary baggage and investing in self-improvement, much like the sign itself. And when the Equinox asks everyone – are you sure you’re done? Is everything in place? Virgos can confidently answer ‘yes’.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

As Libra season approaches, get ready to feel right at home! No one will enjoy this cosy season more than the Libra, with everything pumpkin spice upon us, and the fall equinox signals this shift. No shaming of those who want to pull their pyjamas on straight after work. Peaceful moments as the leaves fall are the key to Libra’s happiness.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Scorpios, your secretive nature is your armour. While you might not be hiding a double life, small secrets like a hidden passion for your next neighbour or the dream of becoming a pole dancer can provide a sense of security. As autumn sets in, embrace the changing seasons and find solace in the quiet, introspective energy of winter. This shift will bring a welcome sense of renewal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

The end of summer hits Sagittarius hard because they love travelling so much. The Equinox calls for a moment of calm and balance, although that is not their vibe as they seek for winter sun destinations. Sagittarius should allow themself to be still for a few days, put their phones and passports away and honour the fall season with a few deep breaths.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Capricorn is a business-minded sign who understands that change is a constant, cyclical aspect of life. And so when the time comes to enact change, they seize the opportunity. The Autumn Equinox serves as a reminder that what once worked may no longer be effective, signalling the need to adjust your routine.

Aquarius  (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

With their humanitarian nature, Aquarians are always introspective. This Equinox will encourage this idealistic sign to visit new places and learn new things. They also enjoy being helpful, but will not be conspicuous about it. They like to be well-read but hate a snob or a show-off. So the equinox is right up their alley! Business as usual.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Pisces, your romantic spirit often sets the bar high, both for yourself and for others. The Autumn Equinox reminds you to find harmony within yourself and value your own worth. Add a touch of magic to your autumnal journey: consider taking a quiet walk through a colourful autumn forest, enjoying a cosy night by the fireplace with a good book, or indulging in a warm, comforting meal.
