What The Fall Equinox On 9/22 Could Mean For Your Love Life (Astrology + Tarot Reading)

Aries

Your Card: Ten of Pentacles

The seeds have been planted and are growing strong. You are creating a solid foundation for the future. You are crafting your legacy in love, Aries. You are learning to open up your home and allowing love to make itself conformable within you. You are typically quite guarded. Always keeping your heart locked up within you where it will remain safe from the pain that vulnerability may cause. But you’re understanding that there is no longevity in this. You can’t always hide from the world. So this Fall Equinox, your walls are slowly coming down and in its place, you are building a solid foundation with not only yourself but a potential lover that you are either going to meet soon or are seeing right now. 

Taurus

Your Card: Three of Swords

What’s worse than being single and alone, is being in the wrong relationship. The Fall Equinox may affect your love life not in the ways that you want, but in the ways that you need. You might have to learn the hard way when it is time to let go and find yourself again. I know how hard it can be to detach from a love you once knew and a life you thought you were meant to live with someone, but sadly that’s not how life works. No one but you can mend your broken heart. You can’t depend on the person who is causing the pain to repair it. The Fall Equinox may embolden you to walk away, allow yourself to heal, and learn to stand on your own. 

Gemini

Your Card: Six of Cups

Typically what happens after a relationship ends, we go through the first stage of separation where we are bitter, hurt, angry, and mad over what went down. But then when enough time passes and those bitter feelings have been purged, the next stage is nostalgia. We start romanticizing the past and every special moment spent with that person. We start remembering what they meant to us and what brought us together in the first place. This may be exactly the place that you find yourself in come the Fall Equinox, Gemini. Your ex-lover may make a reappearance or their presence will make itself known to you in some synchronistic way. With that said, you may have to make a choice. Do you want to go back to them and pick up where you left off? Or is it best to leave the past in the past to not spoil what little cherished memories of this person you have and the time you spent together? Friends and family may offer their outside perspective on the matter which could be of great help to you, Gemini. Listen to what they have to say and truly take everything at play into account. You must see the whole picture for what it is instead of zeroing in on the highlights. 

Cancer

Your Card: Queen of Wands

If you are currently in a relationship Cancer, you might be in the power struggle phase with your partner. This stage comes after the honeymoon period where you start to see more and more of the flaws in each other that you may not have noticed before. And though this time is challenging for any couple, this upcoming Fall Equinox may signal that you two are finally reaching the end of the struggle period and entering the stage of stability. You may both start to realize that you can’t change one another but that’s okay. You’re sharing a deeper love where you both accept one another for who they are, without wanting to change anything about them. Because to change any part of who they are, means changing all the parts you love about them. Not only that, you may both find comfort in the fact that if you two can get through the power struggle phase and all the complications it may have brought about, that you two can get through anything. 

Leo

Your Card: Two of Cups

If you and your partner have split recently or are going through a rough patch currently, then the Two of Cups is a good sign. The Two of Cups in a sense represents the invisible string that connects us to the people we love most. Even when we’re not physically around this person, we’re still connected to them and can almost sense them when we least expect it. If it’s meant to be, then the universe will do its job to bring you two together or guide you toward the path that makes the most sense for you both. So during the Fall Equinox, fate will be calling the shots essentially. You and your partner may be able to work through this turmoil during this time. And if you’re not currently in a relationship, then someone that you know and are already connected to could be your next romantic connection. Perhaps the two of you are in the same social circle. Maybe you see each other around a lot through work or social gatherings. Regardless, you will find this connection is effortless. No games, no beating around the bush, just let it develop and build organically. So with all that said Leo, you won’t have to make any effort. Things will unfold as they were meant to and I’m sure regardless of the outcome, you will be happy with the results. 

Virgo

Your Card: King of Wands

You’re getting another chance at love, Virgo. Why? Because the universe believes that you’ve done the work and you deserve another chance. And this time around, you’ll know exactly what to do and what to say to make sure things stick. With the Fall Equinox, you may receive the chance to start over again with someone you’ve known for quite some time or you’ll have an opportunity to connect with someone new. If it’s someone new, make sure you apply the lessons you’ve learned from the past. And if you’re getting a second chance with someone from your past, the King of Wands could indicate that you are taking a more active role in your relationship and being the beacon of light to guide the two of you through the obstacles that may lie ahead. You’re coming back into the game with a deeper level of self-awareness and empathy for the other person. Make sure you use your voice and say what you have to say this time. The King of Wands encourages direct communication that still maintains a level of playfulness. Falling in love should be fun anyway.

Libra

Your Card: Ten of Pentacles

If you are currently in a relationship Libra, then the Ten of Pentacles could indicate that you and your partner are on stable grounds. With the Fall Equinox approaching you two may find yourselves turning towards the future and making serious plans for the long-term. You’re both aligning your lives with one another and concentrating on the relationship in some major way. This could mean moving in together, creating a joint bank account, or talking about future children. You both may feel a newfound sense of adventure in this next phase of your relationship. From this point on, your milestones will become their milestones and vice versa. Your wins are their wins and your heart is their heart. If you are single or are currently casually dating someone, then the Ten of Pentacles could also indicate that you are in a place of security where you can open your heart up to the possibilities of love. Whereas before so much of your life may have been uncertain and unstable, your more secure footing as an independent person who can stand on their own, will lay the foundation of a stable relationship. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Ace of Cups

You have occupied a special place in your love’s heart. That is what the Ace of Cups indicates in your reading with regard to the shifts of your love life with the upcoming Fall Equinox, Scorpio. You may find yourself falling for someone who is rather protective of their heart. They don’t normally like to let their walls down and they most certainly don’t easily let others anywhere near their heart. It is rare for someone to get as far as you have in romance. And as time passes, you will find them slowly inching closer and closer to you. Don’t rush this process, this is something they have to figure out on their own. Just continue to be their emotional haven and they’ll tear down their own walls to meet you halfway. Things will come together in exactly the way that you hope if you remain patient. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: Ace of Swords

You are finally hearing the truth, Sagittarius come this Fall Equinox. And while the truth may be hard to listen to, it is necessary that you hear what the other person has to say. Regardless of what is said, it has nothing to do with you personally. Love is a science experiment in a sense, and while sometimes two people may come together and alchemically forge a strong union of love, other times it may combust in less than favorable ways. If you’re single and currently pining after someone, then you will know for sure whether they share your same level of feelings. If you’re in a relationship, this could indicate an important yet necessary conversation that must take place sooner rather than later. 

Capricorn

Your Card: The High Priestess

You have a very important and profound choice to make in regard to your love life come the Fall Equinox, Capricorn. And leading up to this decision you may not know which choice to make. You’re still undecided. Weighing the pros and the cons in your head of what to do and how to go about it. However, The High Priestess will offer some relief when you least expect it. She is a sign to trust your intuition and let that guide you. You must quiet your mind to hear it’s advice. Understand that the universe has set this situation up in your favor which is a good thing. It means that your fate is in your hands. But again, with this responsibility, you are the only person who is going to know exactly what to do and how to go about this situation. You may ask for advice from friends and family, but they may not understand the situation or your romantic interest as well as you do. So again, trust what your heart is telling you. If it makes you feel better, you’re probably not going to make the wrong decision. You’re too smart for that. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Page of Pentacles

Things are moving steadily in your love life, Aquarius. Which is something you’re not necessarily used to. However, giving love time to grow and develop and having patience is very necessary. You’re typically rather impatient when it comes to love. Or on the other hand, you’re either very in or very out. There is no in-between for you. But with the presence of the Page of Pentacles, you are learning to slow down and take life and love one day at a time. Perhaps your partner is the one who is teaching you this, or there is someone that you’re interested in who moves much slower than you do so now you must learn to simmer your emotions. 

Pisces

Your Card: Ten of Wands

You are finally able to unburden yourself of the pain and the hurt that love has caused you in the past, Pisces. You have done the work and you are finally reaching the end of this growth cycle. This Fall Equinox may show you that you are not responsible for everybody’s feelings, you must prioritize protecting your own and doing what is best for you. You cannot shoulder the weight of the other person’s traumas or emotional baggage. Don’t make it your own. The Fall Equinox could mean letting go of what is not yours and reminding yourself of what does belong to you. In other words, if you’re in a relationship, you two might find yourselves rather co-dependent. Therefore their pain becomes yours but not in a necessary healthy way. You can’t always be their emotional crutch otherwise they will only throw their load atop what you’re already carrying for yourself.
