Aries Equinox 2024 – where do you need more balance in your life?

The Aries Equinox falls on Wed 20 March (AEST), as the Sun moves out of dreamy Pisces and into action-oriented Aries. 

The Equinox marks the change of the seasons, the time of year when day and night are of equal length and the seasons come to a point of balance (equi-nox is Latin for ‘equal night’).  It might nor feel like it, but we’re half-way between summer and winter!

This is a perfect time to explore what might be out of balance in your own life and find a way to restore that balance, whether it’s in your relationships, your work-family balance, or any other part of your life.

If you like placing sticks in the ground and playing with shadows – and sundials – the Equinox is the day of the year when, wherever you are in the world, the Sun rises due east.  The Sun is directly overhead at the Equator at this time – something that happens twice a year in March and September.  It is this astronomical phenomenon that defines the beginning of Aries in the Tropical Zodiac.

The Equinox is exact at 1.06pm Queensland time (AEST).
