The Myth of the Fall Equinox DEBUNKED on Sept 22nd
Break out your raw eggs, the Equinox is here.
The debate has raged on, but the fact remains: It takes me less than 5 seconds to balance a RAW egg on it’s NARROW POINTY end. I can do this on a clean, SMOOTH, HARD surface like Metal or Glass on either the Fall or Spring Equinox – and YOU CAN TOO! I can’t do this on any other day of the year. I have NEVER seen proof that this can be done on any other day.
WHAT IS THE EQUINOX GOOD FOR?
Aside from being the traditional Fall Harvest and Thanksgiving celebration this is a day that is all about partnerships and relationships. The Fall Equinox always falls at the 0′ degree of Libra (relationships) and therefore asks us to pay attention to creating balance in all areas of our life.
THE MYTH
The myth is that Libra is a sign of balance. It is far closer to the truth to point out that Libra (and it’s opposite sign of Aries), are both signs that are attracted to extremes. This is especially true on the Fall and Spring Equinox dates. Libra looks for extremes so that they can balance them!
Yes, the equinox means equal length of day and night, and yes it is a time for creating that precarious level of balance we find when resting an egg on it’s pointy end. But I don’t have to tell you that this is a very IMPERMANENT state of being. Perhaps that’s why we should give it so much gratitude when we achieve it!
Anyone who’s ever had a relationship knows that the state of balance ONLY comes from the tension created by polarity of opposites. Similarly, the Equal days of the Equinox are closely tied to the EXTREMES we get on the Summer and Winter Solstice dates (the longest and shortest days of the year respectively).
HOW TO USE IT
The best way to use the Equinox is to give up extremes. Let go of a useless behavior, addiction, thought patterns or other form of imbalance. This is a day for sacrifice and letting go. Bring yourself to a state of neutral, emptiness and openness. The energy of the equinox can be compared to the number zero 0 which is both empty and pregnant with possibility at the same time.
If you were to balance on one leg, it would be impossible to maintain that balance if you tried to reach out and pick up something heavy next to you. And yet, the neutral state of balance is the exact state of mind that allows manifestation and miracles to occur. All you need to do is become empty, and then focus on what you want.
THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO MEDITATE AND QUIET THE MIND!
