How glorious was the last official day of summer here in the UK! What a finale to such a beautiful season.
And now we gently welcome Libra autumn. That lovely, colourful, golden autumn, with its warm sunshine, crisp mornings, changing leaves and beautiful sense of balance. A gentle transition before the darker, wilder and more intense days of Scorpio autumn arrive, bringing their winds, rain and the deeper transformation of the season.
The autumn equinox is a beautiful reminder to slow down and find a little balance as the seasons change. Libra brings us the themes of harmony and balance, while Scorpio autumn invites us to turn inward, let go and prepare for winter.
In Ayurveda, autumn is associated with Vata, bringing cooler, drier and more changeable qualities. It’s time to introduce warmth and grounding into our daily routines. Think nourishing soups, roasted root vegetables, warming spices, regular mealtimes and a little more rest.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is associated with the Lungs and Large Intestine, and the art of letting go. A time to breathe deeply, spend time in the fresh air, enjoy seasonal foods such as pears and apples, and gently release what we no longer need.
Light a candle at tea time, take a walk amongst the changing colours, enjoy a warm drink in the afternoon sunshine and start making your evenings a little cosier.
There’s no need to rush into the darker months just yet. Let’s savour every last bit of this beautiful Libra autumn, embrace its gentler rhythms and allow ourselves to change pace with nature before Scorpio autumn sweeps in.
