Breathe Of Heaven

The spiritual meaning of the gates on the spring and autumn equinoxes

Since ancient times, the equinox has been revered as a powerful time to tap into the wisdom of the Earth, the light of the Sun, and a deep connection to Source, the entire universe, and all life.

The moment of equinox transition is a moment of great potential for transcending limitations and embodying a higher sense of truth, presence, divine “I am” and light.

The Spiritual Meaning of the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes

The Sun is the source of light and life on Earth. The vernal and autumnal equinoxes are important turning points in the solar seasonal cycle. Ancient cultures and traditions around the world have long respected the seasonal cycle and placed great emphasis on the turning points of the solstices and equinoxes.

The Earth's journey around the Sun represents the cycles of light and darkness, and of birth, growth, life, decay, death and rebirth.

The vernal equinox occurs twice a year, around March 20th and September 21st, when the sun's rays shine directly on the equator.

During these two times of the year, the Earth's tilt (its rotational orbit) is in line with the Sun. When this astronomical event occurs, the Sun crosses the celestial equator and we experience the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, times of balanced day and night with approximately 12 hours of day and 12 hours of darkness.

This is an auspicious time when days and nights are nearly equal, creating perfect balance across the planet – masculine and feminine in balance, light and dark, creating supportive and harmonious energies for all.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, speaking of the yogic tradition, said: “At the spring and autumn equinoxes, the days and nights are of equal length. In life too, we should aim for a balance between work and rest, giving and receiving, activity and rest.”

Depending on which hemisphere you're in and what time of year it is, the vernal or autumnal equinox marks the arrival of spring.

The Vernal Equinox marks the beginning of spring, a time of new life and fresh energy for the hemisphere as the days begin to lengthen and we move towards the Summer Solstice, while the Autumnal Equinox marks the beginning of the harvest season celebrating the summer's bountiful harvest and preparing for winter as the days shorten and a time of rest approaches.

The Equinox Energy Triggers Ascension

The energy of the Vernal Equinox is essentially an ascension catalyst for humanity and the Earth.

With each passing equinox comes a new wave of balance and light, an opportunity to transcend illusion and step further into our true truth and soul light.

“Energy portals are opening and there will be more. This is part of the restoration of the divine blueprint of your world… It will peak as the Equinox progresses, activating crystalline energies that have been dormant for a long time.” -Archangel Metatron, channeled by Melanie Beckler

This is a powerful and sacred time for identifying the intentions you truly wish to manifest in your physical life on Earth and on your path of spiritual ascension.

Let go of self-imposed limitations, doubts and fears and imagine yourself truly connecting with your true power, your light and your ability to create blessings, joy and love in your life.

What have you wanted in life that you never thought was possible or never had the courage to pursue?

Now is the time to look within and remember your true desires, and plant new seeds and ideas about what you are capable of in this life.

Each equinox continues to increase in frequency and frequency as it progresses.

Do not be overwhelmed by this energy, which may feel intense at times. What feels intense is not a new level of Light, but rather a release and letting go of the old. The intensity comes from holding on to the past rather than freely releasing it.

Release into the Light, return to Love, and ride the Equinox wave of Light and transformation on the planet.

What is the difference between the spring and autumn equinoxes?

The Meaning of the Vernal Equinox

The vernal equinox marks the beginning of a new growth cycle called spring.

Ah, spring is here! With more daylight, warmer weather, and a new beginning for the flora and fauna of the planet, green shoots sprout, birds chirp, and flowers bloom. There are signs of growth and rebirth.

Astrologically, this marks the start of a tropical new year, making it the perfect time to reconsider the goals and wishes you want to achieve in the coming days.

Spring cleaning is supported now so let go of all that no longer serves you mentally, spiritually and physically. Let go, relax and surrender to the natural rhythms of the earth around you.

The Vernal Equinox is a day to celebrate the rebirth of Mother Earth. As the light increases, inspiration comes to your mind and heart. Allow yourself to celebrate this day now. This is a time of balance and harmony. It is a moment of rest when the Sun is centered between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, between the Earth and the sky. This creates a sacred cross, bringing energies of balance and harmony to the Earth and humanity.

This powerful growth energy is at your service. Listen to your heart and become aware of your connection to all that is. From this space you will have all you need to heal, grow, and witness miracles in your life.

The Meaning of Autumnal Equinox

On the autumn equinox, we begin to prepare for the darkness of winter and the coming period of rest. From this point on, the days get shorter and the nights get longer.

While this equinox marks a time of diminishing daylight, it is also a time of harvest, celebrating all that grew in the bright light of summer.

It is a time when we face our inner shadow and the concepts of death, emptiness and darkness.

The Autumn Equinox is a powerful time to turn to gratitude and reflection, preparing for winter when the cold and darkness can offer beautiful opportunities for inward looking.

The Autumn Equinox is a beautiful time to reflect on the path we have traveled and regain balance and presence before continuing on our life's journey.

Restoring balance and harmony

Whether you are heading into Spring or Fall, the Vernal Equinox and the balancing times before and after it are intended to help you align with your own life and your heart's true desires. Now is the time to see where you have been and where you are going. You are now being supported to release any remaining chains that have been holding you back or impeding your growth.

Now is the time to see where you have been and where you are going. You are now freed from any remaining chains that have been hindering or blocking your growth and are supported to step into new levels of your highest truthfulness and soul light.

One important way to support yourself in making this alignment is through regular meditation, which creates alignment with your heart, mind, and higher levels of light and divine love.
