Astrology Expert Reveals How to Navigate Autumn and Winter: Boost Your Mood, Embrace Change, and Stay Balanced!
As the crisp air rolls in and the leaves turn golden, it’s time to embrace the changes autumn brings. Astrologer Iryna Wood, founder of Gemini Near Me, explains how this season offers the perfect opportunity for reflection, growth, and balance. “For me, autumn symbolises transformation — a bridge to reflect on past achievements and set new goals. Just like the trees change colour, we too experience transformation,” says Iryna.
But how can we make the most of this transitional season? Here, Iryna shares her top tips for navigating autumn’s unique energy and setting yourself up for success as the year winds down.
1. Celebrate Your Wins
Autumn’s energy encourages us to reflect on what we’ve accomplished over the past six months. “I recommend writing down all the achievements you’ve accomplished,” says Iryna. “Celebrate your growth, both the highs and lows, because they’ve made you stronger.” Whether you’ve hit big goals or overcome challenges, give yourself credit where it’s due and start setting your sights on what’s next.
2. Find Balance
The autumn equinox, when day and night are equal, is a perfect reminder to balance the different areas of your life. “Autumn calls for a balance between work, rest, social time, and personal time,” Iryna advises. Whether it’s spending time with loved ones or making space for some alone time, focus on activities that bring you peace and keep you energised as the days grow shorter.
3. Declutter Your Life
As trees shed their leaves, autumn is the ideal time to let go of what no longer serves you. “Autumn is a time for shedding what is no longer needed, both physically and emotionally,” says Iryna. Declutter your home, clear out your mind, and leave behind any bad habits. It’s the perfect opportunity to create space for new opportunities to enter your life.
4. Soak Up the Last of the Sun
The Sun is a key source of energy and confidence in astrology, and autumn offers the last of those sunny days to lift your spirits. “Autumn gives you those final sunny days that can raise your mood and recharge you,” says Iryna. So get outside, soak up some sunshine, and let it boost your mood before the winter chill sets in.
5. Ground Yourself in Nature
Spending time outdoors is essential for staying connected to the Earth’s energy during this season of change. “Grounding yourself in nature helps stabilise your emotions and reduce anxiety,” Iryna explains. Whether it’s a peaceful walk in the park or meditating outside, reconnecting with nature helps you find balance and stay calm as autumn progresses.
6. Boost Your Health Naturally
Autumn is also the time to take care of your physical health. “Spending time outdoors not only boosts your mental well-being but also strengthens your immune system,” says Iryna. Instead of relying on artificial supplements, embrace nature’s benefits with fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor activity to help keep your body in top shape.
7. Watch for Major Astrological Shifts
This autumn brings some key astrological events that could impact your mood and relationships. According to Iryna, a lunar eclipse in Pisces and a solar eclipse in Libra will bring significant energy shifts. “The lunar eclipse influences your unconscious mind, while the solar eclipse is focused on partnerships,” she explains. Be mindful of your decisions during this period, as they could have long-lasting effects.
8. Prioritise Self-Love
When it comes to relationships, Iryna’s number one tip is simple: “Autumn in love with yourself first!” She stresses the importance of self-awareness and understanding what you truly want. “Stop living under the influence of others and focus on being your authentic self,” she advises. This autumn, take time to know yourself better – it’s the foundation for building healthier relationships and attracting the right kind of connections.
Embrace the Change
Autumn is a season of transformation, balance, and preparation for the quieter months ahead. “Autumn marks the transition from the active energy of summer to the restful energy of winter,” says Iryna. Reflect on your accomplishments, clear out what’s no longer needed, and spend time grounding yourself in nature.
As the year winds down, embrace the changes this season brings – it’s the perfect way to recharge, refocus, and set yourself up for a peaceful, balanced winter.
