The Sun enters Libra shortly after 5:00 am EDT on Friday morning. That will be an equinox. North of the equator, it will be the first day of autumn; in the southern hemisphere, the advent of spring. This will come about a week after Venus led the way into Libra, a sign it rules. To have the Sun enter a cardinal sign which is, at the same time, hosting its ruling planet, does not happen every day. The moment is being symbolically emphasized. For you, this event symbolizes an emphatic opportunity to consciously shift out of your senses and into your mind.<\/p>\n

Light is fundamental. Sun is the source. The existence and circumstances of life on Earth are largely a result of our planet’s relationship to the Sun. A big part of that relationship is the amount of light received, and that, in turn, is largely dependent on the length of the day. With two exceptions, the duration of daylight is dictated by where you are situated on the surface of the Earth at any given time. The two exceptions are the equinoxes.<\/p>\n

There are two equinoxes in every year. What they have in common is that the Sun appears to be directly over the Earth’s equator. When that happens, the length of day is equal for all, no matter where you are on the surface of our planet. Equal, equator, equinox. How the two equinoxes differ is with the direction the Sun appears to be moving in the days after equality of light. That apparent motion can be ascribed to our perspective.<\/p>\n

Of course, it is we who are moving relative to the Sun. It seems to be the other way around because our senses are attuned to perceiving our bodies are on a fixed point of reference, the Earth’s surface, and moving separately relative to other objects. Most of the time, that serves us well, but not if we want to understand what we see when we look up at the sky. For that, we need to make a conscious shift away from what our senses tell us and into what our minds know. We need to see our planet and everything on it as one object. If we can do that, the Earth’s motion is our own in common and there is no separation at all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the most part, the Earth’s motion has three components: orbit, spin and wobble. The wobble is subtle and apparent only after many years. It is the orbit and spin that matter most in a typical human life. Our planet, spinning on its axis, yields the cycle of day and night — what our senses perceive as the Sun going up and down. The angle of that axis in relation to our planet’s orbit around the Sun induces another, longer cycle in the relative length of day and night, the cycle of the seasons.<\/p>\n

The axis of our spin is tilted. The tilt does not go back and forth. Rather, we go round and round. One part of the annual circuit brings your hemisphere toward the light. You sense that as the Sun is longer in the sky from one day to the next and it gets warmer. In another part of our orbit, the process seems to be going the other way and it’s difficult to understand how your motion and existence could not be separate from another person on the other half of the globe. An equinox brings the Earth, the Sun and our sense of them\u00a0all into line and validates what your mind can always know, no matter the time of year.<\/p>\n

On Friday, your senses will tell you that the length of day and night are equal. It will mean that our planet has reached one of two points in its orbit when the axis is inclined neither towards nor away from the Sun, a point where every human being is perceiving that equal light, equally together, all at the same time. In the weeks to follow, the rising and setting Sun will appear to move South on the horizon and our mutual existence will appear to diverge again. If you take this opportunity to shift your consciousness beyond what your senses tell you, however, your mind will forever know different.<\/p>\n

Your mind will know that the only thing that truly changes is Earth’s place in orbit. You will be conscious of the fact that we all invariably share the same place in orbit at all times. That simple truth will, in turn, set you free. You will be free of being separate and alone and you will know that all of us and our planet are one thing in the light of the Sun.<\/p>\n
