The September Equinox is when day and night lengths are equal once again, but heading towards winter. It is a good time for harvesting and taking stock of what we have planted since the April, Spring Equinox. This is true for the garden as well as our daily lives. The Fall Equinox is a good time to pause for reflection.
Like the crops in the garden, the goals and intentions we planted earlier in the year are likely to be bearing fruit, as long as they were fed and watered during the hot, productive, long summer days in the months since planting.
Consider where you were in the Spring, the goals you had back then, and the fruit you're seeing now. How has your garden grown? What setbacks have occurred? In the same way as we water in nematodes to eat overwintering grubs in our beds, perhaps safeguards in our lives are needed, too: consider that certificate for better professional positioning, or paying down existing debt.
