On September 23, 2026, at 3:06 a.m. Kyiv time, the Autumn Equinox took place. Therefore, Wednesday is the right time to finish what has already lost its relevance, restore harmony in relationships, and avoid holding on to old grudges.
Astrologer Kateryna Soloviova explained what should be done on September 23, what is better to avoid, and why this day could influence events over the next three months.
What the Autumn Equinox means
On September 23, the Sun enters the first degree of Libra, and astronomical autumn begins in the Northern Hemisphere. During this period, the length of day and night is approximately equal.
According to Soloviova, in astrology, this day is known as a Day of Power and one of the main celebrations of the Sun.
"It is believed that at this moment of planetary balance, the ‘Heavenly Gate’ opens, helping wishes come true," the expert says.
At the same time, the astrologer emphasizes that before entering a new stage, it is important to finish the old one.
What should be completed on September 23
Soloviova advises paying attention to everything that no longer brings any benefit or has lost its meaning. This includes old projects, bad habits, unnecessary things, clutter, and toxic relationships.
"To clear space for something new, you need to finish all projects that have outlived their usefulness, say goodbye to bad habits, unnecessary things, clutter, and toxic people," the astrologer explained.
According to her, until this general cleanup is done, it is harder for something new to enter your life.
Why it is important to sort out relationships
In astrology, Libra is associated with balance, harmony, beauty, diplomacy, tolerance and partnership. Therefore, Soloviova advises paying attention on September 23 to relationships in which resentment, hostility or misunderstandings have accumulated.
"Carefully weigh all the pros and cons: do you really need to keep certain people in your orbit?" the astrologer emphasized.
If a person realizes that they were wrong about something, the expert advises finding the strength to apologize. She also spoke about the need to take stock, resolve personal unfinished business , and bring balance to one's social circle.
Why this day could be challenging
Soloviova points out that when the Sun enters Libra, it is, according to her, in what is known as a destructive degree. In astrology, this degree is associated with tests of strength, endurance, resilience and perseverance.
"A destructive degree is a degree of sacrificial testing: only through trials can one receive help and a reward for one's resilience," the expert recalled.
According to the astrologer, such a degree can be associated with disappointments, difficult situations and the need to overcome challenges. In Libra, it has a dual characteristic — destruction and restoration.
Soloviova also warns that this degree is associated with themes of judgment, condemnation, loss of popularity and the breakdown of relationships.
"Do not schedule important matters related to the areas governed by the Sun during this period," the astrologer says.
What could happen over the next three months
According to Soloviova, during the Autumn Equinox, a program is set in motion that lasts until the Winter Solstice. She notes that if a person has not changed their place of residence, the same areas of their individual birth chart may become activated during this period each year.
That is why, according to her, the equinox provides an opportunity to review and adjust processes related to these areas. The aspects formed by the transiting Sun with objects in the horoscope are also important.
If the connections are harmonious, positive trends, development, and good results can be expected in the corresponding areas over the next three months. If the aspects are tense, however, this does not necessarily mean that only unfavorable events will occur.
What should be done on this day
Soloviova advises not to become a source of negativity. According to her, this applies not only to words and behavior but also to thoughts.
The astrologer also emphasizes helping others.
"You will be lucky if someone approaches you on this day with any request or asks for help," she stresses.
According to Soloviova, helping another person on this day may help harmonize the sphere of relationships. She also advises not to focus solely on personal wishes, but to pay attention to other people's problems and help them whenever possible.
