Today is the equinox.
The exact moment when day and night are equal, and starting tomorrow, the light begins to win.
Yay!!
We’re officially entering my favorite time of the year. I love the night, but I’ve never felt like I needed extra hours of it to do my witchy, nocturnal things. I’m always ready for more daylight.
And every year around this time, I find myself thinking about balance. Where in my life do things actually feel good and in the right proportion right now?
And where is that not true?
Where is there a little too much of something?
Where is there not enough?
The equinox asks those questions whether you're paying attention or not. Nature doesn't wait for you to be ready.
These simple questions let me see pretty clearly what I want more of over the next few months, and what I’d be very happy to have less of.
And of course, how do I make that happen?
For me, part of what makes this moment powerful is the timing.
The equinox is a great example. I could try to create momentum from scratch today. Or I could align with the momentum that already exists, the literal force of a planet tilting toward the light, and let that do some of the work.
So I’m not pushing against reality in trying to transform it, I’m actually working with it.
That's leverage. That's what a system gives you that intention alone never will.
It’s what I mean when I talk about magic: understanding how to work with what’s already in motion, and how to direct your attention and actions so things actually change.
Take a moment today
Check in honestly.
You’ll probably see more than you expect.
