Autumn & Astrology & Libra, Oh My!

Autumn is an important time in astrology, not in the least because Mabon, the celebration of the autumn equinox, is fast approaching. September in particular is important – again, not just because of Maybon (pronounced MAY-bun; it happens on September 22), but also because it is the month of the Libra. When you think about it, this particular astrological sign is the essence of autumn itself.
It is the perfect season for epitomizing life and death – September, especially, is the perfect month for that. In October, the leaves have all turned already for the most part; in some parts of the country, we have had our first frost. In September, however, there is still the dream of Indian summer, even as the leaves are turning red and russet. There is a delicate balance taking place this month – and the Libra is well versed in the art of perfect balance.
In Haiti right now, Papa Gede rules, wearing his sun glasses with one lens gone – to better see both the living world and the spirit world, of course. As we get closer towards the last days of this month, one can almost imagine him dancing under the stars with this Libra goddess, he keeping time with his artful cane, her scales chiming, as they preside over the death of summer, the birth of winter, and impart that balance to all of us as we sleep.
