Having passed through the New Moon, we now step right into the Autumn Equinox. The Eclipse Corridor is behind us, yet its echoes will still resonate in the space around us. That’s why it’s so important now to close old tasks, complete unfinished cycles, and clear room for fresh flows of energy.

This week life gains momentum, like a river breaking through its obstacles at last—becoming fuller, stronger, and supportive of active movement. It is the time of Mabon, the festival of balance, abundance, and harmony.

The energies of the Autumn Equinox offer the chance to step out of dead ends, highlight priorities in your affairs, and fill your heart with warmth and gratitude. This is a time to look closely at the summer just lived, sum up its results, gather the harvest of your efforts, and wisely allocate your accumulated resources. The balance between the material and the spiritual, between the inner and the outer, becomes the key of this period. It is also a time for building new social connections, sharing the fruits of your work, and gently shifting from the vivid activity of summer into the cozy harmony of autumn.

🍎 The energies of Mabon carry maturity and fullness, like fruits that have reached their peak strength. They must be gathered here and now, so as not to lose their value or usefulness, not to be spoiled by autumn rains. This is the moment when important roads open up, where you can realize all your abilities and talents, resources and knowledge that you have been developing and storing.

Obstacles that only recently seemed insurmountable will begin to weaken and crumble this week. Suddenly, you will clearly see that the entire path you’ve taken—all the lessons, even the mistakes—were not in vain. Your experience is now your greatest capital, and it will start to pay dividends. It may feel as though guidance arrives on its own, but in truth it will be the fruits of your own labor, the seeds you planted in your harvest. New meanings, new understanding, and a deeper sensing of your path and yourself will open more and more opportunities for you.

💰 In business and finances, new prospects arise: a chance to strengthen your position, advance in your career, and reach a higher level of income. Tangible inflows of money may arrive, connected with projects just completed or only beginning. However, success will come only to those ready to act and work, to those willing to claim it. This is the time for the active and the brave: learn to stand your ground while avoiding conflict, moving toward your goals step by step—the new financial level must be earned.

Yet Mabon reminds us: what matters is not only the result but also the path toward it. This period teaches us to enjoy the process, to see value in every step, instead of rushing headlong toward the finish line. Life is made of moments, and each one deserves to be lived fully: every step, every stone beneath your feet, every flower by the road carries its own meaning. If we fail to value these gifts, clinging to old habits and ideas while forgetting to rejoice in the simple, we rob ourselves of life’s very essence.

🌞 The energies of this week lead not only to personal joy and success but also to the desire to share this state with loved ones. Mabon turns our attention to family and lineage: it is important to create comfort, to fill your home with warmth, to strengthen bonds that give a sense of support and wholeness. This is a time of returning to roots, to memories of childhood and youth, to rediscovering happiness in simple, sincere moments.

As you welcome Mabon, allow yourself a true celebration: light candles, set the table with your favorite dishes, thank the departing sun, and open yourself to autumn. Let each of your days be filled with gratitude and joy—for what already is, and for what is yet to come into your life!
