Tarot Readings for the Autumn Equinox: Special Spreads for Mabon and Balance

The Autumn Equinox, known in the Wheel of the Year as Mabon, is one of the most powerful times for divination. On this day, light and darkness stand in perfect balance before the year tips toward the darker half. This natural equilibrium makes Mabon an ideal moment to consult the tarot, seeking clarity about what must be released, what has been harvested, and what new energies await us in the coming cycle.

Why Perform Tarot Readings at Mabon?

1. Balance Between Light and Dark
   Mabon’s energy highlights harmony and duality. Tarot, with its archetypes of shadow and light, mirrors this balance, helping us see where we are aligned—and where we are out of balance.

2. Harvest Reflection
   Just as we gather the harvest, tarot allows us to reflect on what we have “grown” throughout the year: projects completed, lessons learned, and blessings received.

3. Release and Renewal
   The equinox is also a time of release, as trees shed their leaves and prepare for winter. Tarot can illuminate what we must let go of—habits, fears, or attachments—in order to move forward.

4. Spiritual Preparation
   As we approach the darker half of the year, tarot serves as a lantern, offering guidance through introspection, rest, and transformation.
