The fall equinox is a magical and enlightening moment when we honor the earth. We are given equal hours of day and night, setting the change in foliage, hopes, and relationships for the months ahead. Check out the best ways to celebrate the fall equinox 2024 by zodiac sign to ensure you’re elevating the seasonal experience.

Aries

With all the noise running through your head and excitement going on at school, it's important to center your energy and decompress. Grounding yourself by connecting to the earth is vital. A walk about in nature or a hike in a nearby park will declutter your mind and bring inner peace. The tranquil vibes will set the tone for the months ahead, so temper your sentiments and balance out your vibes. It will be lit!

Taurus

Everyone knows that the way to your heart is through your stomach, like indulging in delicious food — most importantly, meals made with TLC. Therefore, you should schedule a decadent feast with your family that extends to your neighbors. Delivering a block party to your town full of seasonal delights such as cornbread, pear tarts, and pumpkin spiced lattes will bring the community closer together and allow you to feel the magic of the season.

Gemini

Make a gratitude jar that motivates you to share what makes you the happiest in the world. In order to do so, start with a mason jar and keep a paper pad with a pen or pencil next to it. Whenever you want to show love to the universe or show appreciation for bringing your passions to life, you can write a letter to show your thankfulness, and in return, more desires will be granted.

Cancer

Spruce up your home with good old fashioned seasonal cleaning. Start evaluating the items you still need and would like to donate to a local charity. Letting go of physical and material objects acts as an energetic cleanse because you’re releasing the old and setting up for new vibes. Plus, it’ll feel like a weight is being taken off your shoulders — all of which you don't need to carry anymore. Less is definitely more.

Leo

Set an intention for the season ahead. Don’t hold back in speaking and expressing your visions. When you begin to manifest, you must lean into the most genuine aspirations you wish to attain in the upcoming months. Meditate on what you want to bring to fruition, and firmly state your dreams out loud. Once you tell the universe what you want, it will be no time before you can move towards bringing them to life.

Virgo

It is time you began feeling yourself, Virgo! There is no one you are more critical of than yourself, so the autumnal equinox is a wonderful time to change that attitude. The universe is shifting and so should you. Take a good, hard, long look in the mirror. Soak in your beauty and try to appreciate your awesomeness. You are a lovely person, and it's time you took notice. You'll be empowered as a result.

Libra

Plan a celebratory getaway with close friends to celebrate the fall equinox by taking a hayride, picking apples, sipping cider, going through a corn maze, and baking pies with the literal fruit of your labor. You might even have a contest to see who can make the best dessert. Be sure to savor the moment — so don't post on social media until you return home. A present mind endures joy and fun. You deserve it!

Scorpio

Make a playlist of your favorite songs from the artists you adore: Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Beyoncé, and Billie Eilish, to name a few. The bops that define you and your current mood during the equinox will be the tone you set for the season. You can even make up your own lyrics (but why would you mess with greatness?) with the tune they sing to put your personal touches into the music that inspires you.

Sagittarius

Love is in the air, which means you should curate an activity that incorporates your budding relationship into it. By planting seeds with your significant other or crush, you are including them in your future. Think about it: you're creating something that you will harvest in time that requires lots of upkeep. By the time the vegetables or flowers are in bloom, your relationship will have grown — allowing you to find delight and merriment in both.

Capricorn

Take on a new hobby like painting or pottery to align with your earthy talents. Not only will your skills shine for the first time, but it'll be an amazing outlet for pent up energy — or aggression. Rather than stress about school and work, you'll be able to chill out and loosen up. Who knew all you’d need is a canvas and an open mind to craft your emotions into a tangible form of art.

Aquarius

Do a tarot reading for the season. Instead of asking hyper specific questions about what other people are thinking or feeling, focus on yourself. Find out what you should spend the autumn days and nights doing, if anyone special is coming into your life, or if a situationship is evolving. Tarot is most effective when you're the subject because then you can impart wisdom and advice the spirits are sending through the cards into your life.

Pisces

Do not disregard the voice in your head that is guiding you because it may help you make decisions and see the truth in matters. The equinox will heighten this sense within you, which is why journaling out your thoughts and feelings as they come full help in remembering them down the road. You may have a hunch that proves to be helpful next month, so keep track of everything that comes to your mind.
