The autumn equinox marks the start of astronomical fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but it also carries a long history of seasonal traditions. One name you may come across around this time is Mabon, a modern Pagan observance linked with the autumn harvest.
US-based astrologer Judy Tsafrir recently shared on Instagram about the equinox and Mabon, describing the season as a time for gratitude, reflection, and letting go.
Mabon is a modern Pagan celebration associated with the autumnal equinox. Royal Museums Greenwich describes it as a harvest festival that focuses on gratitude for the Earth’s abundance and sharing its fruits before winter. The September equinox also begins Libra season in Western astrology. Libra carries the symbol of the Scales, so astrologers traditionally associate the sign with balance, relationships and fairness.

The changing season can give you a natural moment to pause. Instead of only asking what you want next, look at what you no longer need. Write down a habit you want to change, a worry you want to release or a situation that has already taught you its lesson. You do not need to force an immediate answer. Let the season become a reminder that growth also involves knowing when to let go. You can also share food with someone you care about. That small act reflects the harvest theme of gratitude and sharing described by Royal Museums Greenwich.
