The Coming Equinox 9.22.25

Aligning with the Upcoming Equinox Energies

This message is based on the sidereal perspective of the stars as used in Vedic astrology.

The equinox is when day and night are equal — a balance of Surya (Sun) and Chandra (Moon) energies.

In Jyotiṣa, this balance symbolizes ṛta (cosmic order) and is a natural time for re-alignment, purification, and setting sankalpa (intentions).

Traditionally, the Sun crosses into the Southern course (Dakṣiṇāyana → Uttarāyaṇa axis midpoint), marking the transition toward more inner, spiritual work, as energies turn inward with shorter days.

This equinox particularly supports:

Healing rituals (Ayurveda, yoga, energy work)

Working with the hands (craft, writing, organizing, creating order)

Planting seeds of intention for inner balance and spiritual growth as Dakṣiṇāyana deepens.

Spiritually, it’s a Savitar moment — like invoking the Gayatri principle — clarity, renewal, and creative light being brought into balance.

✨ In short: This Autumn Equinox carries the signature of Virgoan healing and balance, with the Moon in Hasta amplifying the creative, healing “hands of light.” A powerful day for ritual, refinement, and setting balanced intentions.

The transits of the day of the Equinox

1. Ascendant in Ashwini (Aries, Ketu’s star, ruled by Mars)

Ashwini brings beginnings, healing, renewal, and swiftness.

At the moment of cosmic balance (equinox), the rising energy is pioneering, impelling new pathways of evolution, especially in healing and activating primal life force.

Ketu as nakshatra lord → emphasis on spiritualizing action, moving beyond ego-driven Mars into service of the divine plan.

2. Sun, Mercury, and Moon in Virgo (Uttara Phalguni → Hasta)

Sun in Uttara Phalguni (Sun’s star): highlights dharma, agreements, sacred contracts, and the renewal of soul commitments.

Moon & Mercury in Hasta (Moon’s star): hands-on healing, manifestation, skillful ordering of reality.

Signs the soul’s trajectory is changing (what you or others might notice)

A sudden re-prioritization: small daily practices and healing work feel more essential than big external projects.

Encounters with teachers, texts, or people who restore faith and reframe your story.

Karmic clean-up: relationships or roles that no longer match your inner truth fall away (sometimes abruptly).

Deep creative impulses that are intended as service (art, craft, hands-on healing, teaching).

Increased sensitivity to the unseen and to collective suffering — prompting compassionate action.

The nature of the “change” (karmic mechanics)

Ketu/Ashwini: speeds up soul initiation — sudden awakenings, access to previous-life skills, or spontaneous impetus to heal.

Rahu/Aquarius: expands the soul’s field into groups, technology, future-facing systems, networked service.

Saturn–Neptune/Pisces: purifies and tests. It strips illusions so that what remains is the soul’s actual readiness for service.

Jupiter/Punarvasu: provides grace and the chance to rebuild — especially through learning, speech, and acts of generosity.

How to align — practical, soul-level practices for this equinox

(choose 2–4 that resonate and commit for 9–40 days)

Sankalpa & Ceremony at Equinox

Sit at sunrise or sunset. Form a concise sankalpa (intention) in plain language beginning “I intend…”, linking purpose to service (e.g., “I intend to refine my daily practice to serve healing in my community”). Speak it aloud three times, then breathe in Hasta (visualize hands offering/receiving light).

Hasta Healing Practice (hands-on)

Daily 15–30 minutes: mindful hand work — Reiki, mudra practice, therapeutic touch, gardening, craft, or intentional cleaning. Place both palms on the heart and recite 7 slow breaths of gratitude, then work with hands as an offering.

Restorying / Punarvasu Journal

Each morning write one short paragraph that reframes a past wound as a teacher. Read it aloud each evening. This activates Jupiter’s restoring current.

Ancestral Blessing / Venus–Ketu Clearing

Light a lamp or candle, hold a photo or memory of lineage, and say a simple vow: “I honor our line and offer beauty as service.” Where possible, make a small charitable action in honor of an ancestor (donation, planting, healing words).

Ritual of Release (Saturn–Neptune)

Once in the equinox window, write one thing to release on paper (habit, role, relationship that’s no longer aligned). Burn with respectful ceremony or tear and compost. Follow with 5 minutes of silent surrender/letting go.

Study & Sharing (Jupiter in Gemini)

Commit to learning and sharing: a 21-day study circle, teaching a short class, or recording/ writing reflections to share. Jupiter rewards teaching and honest sharing.

Seva (Rahu/Aquarius activation)

Offer hands-on service to a collective cause (community food distribution, tech support for elders, group disaster-preparation work). Keep it regular for the equinox period.

Short mantras & invocations you can use

(keep them simple, do 108 repetitions if you like, or 11/21 for beginners)

For clarity & dharma: “Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha / Om Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah” (or simply: Om Dharmo Namah).

For restoration & grace (Jupiter): “Om Guruve Namah” or the Guru Beej: “Om Gram Grim Graum Sah Guruve Namah”.

For healing hands (Hasta): silently work with the inner phrase: “I offer, I heal.”

For surrender & compassion (Saturn–Neptune): “Om Shanti Om” or “Om Hrim Namah” (use with devotion, not as a quick fix).

Warnings / compassionate cautions

This transit can precipitate necessary endings. Don’t mistake loss for failure — much is ceremonial clearing for rebirth.

Saturn–Neptune can produce confusion or escapism; ground practices (sleep, food, nature contact) are essential.

Rahu can magnify desire for quick results; prefer steady, principled action.

A brief ritual template you can do at equinox

Clean a small altar; place a lamp, a bowl of water, an offering (flower or seed), and a written sankalpa.

Light the lamp, place hands in Hasta mudra (palms together, thumbs at heart). Breathe 9 slow breaths.

Speak your sankalpa 3× aloud.

Offer one small act (place seed in soil, give something away, make a short vow).

Close with 3 breaths of gratitude and a short mantra (Om Shanti).

Together: the Sun (soul), Moon (mind), and Mercury (intellect/communication) unite in Virgo, focusing collective evolution on refinement, healing, skill, and dharmic service.

Message: bring balance through daily practice, health discipline, and intentional creation.

3. Jupiter in Gemini (Punarvasu, ruled by Jupiter)

Jupiter in its own star, Punarvasu, is returning, restoring, and bringing renewal after fragmentation.

Positioned in Gemini (ruled by Mercury), the Guru guides evolution through learning, dialogue, wisdom-sharing, and reweaving narratives.

Key insight: the collective is being called to restore faith and abundance through communication and re-learning universal principles.

4. Venus & Ketu in Leo (Magha + Purva Phalguni)

Venus in Magha (Ketu’s star): Love, beauty, and harmony are connected to ancestral wisdom and lineage. Venus here refines relationships, creativity, and justice by returning to original spiritual authority.

Ketu in Purva Phalguni (Venus’s star): Detachment from excessive pleasure or ego-based desire; return to love as service.

Together: karmic realignment of love and creativity → the invitation to offer beauty and love in service of dharma, not ego.

5. Mars in Libra (Chitra, Mars’s star)

Mars in Chitra emphasizes sacred architecture, visionary building, and harmonizing through structure.

In Libra, Mars is challenged to act through balance, not conflict → directing willpower into diplomacy, artistry, and right relationship.

6. Rahu in Aquarius (Purva Bhadrapada, Jupiter’s star)

Rahu’s evolutionary push: collective vision, humanitarian ideals, future-oriented structures.

In Purva Bhadrapada, its fire is intense, seeking purification, sacrifice, and transformation of the collective.

Positioned 6th from Moon: challenges in health, conflict resolution, and overcoming obstacles through service.

7. Saturn with Neptune in Pisces (Uttara Bhadrapada, Saturn’s star)

Saturn in its own nakshatra brings depth, endurance, and karmic testing.

In Pisces, it emphasizes dissolution of ego-boundaries and karmic purification through compassion, forgiveness, and collective surrender.

With Neptune, mystical currents are amplified → deep spiritual awakening or confusion if not grounded.

Positioned 12th from Ascendant and 7th from Moon: calls for release, surrender, partnership purification, and global spiritual awakening.

✨ Overall Message:

This equinox is a portal of balance, healing, and refinement.
