The fall equinox this year falls on September 22nd. It’s only one day following the New Moon Eclipse… The equinox is a time of balanced light and dark. It’s a time, depending on what hemisphere you live in, where either the light returns and days get longer or descends into longer days of darkness. The equinox is a moment of balance. And in that moment, we can consider what needs to be brought into balance.
Combining energy lines, locational astrology, and timing-“as above, so below”- I hypothesized that we can bring about deeper change by integrating these three concepts. Over the last couple of years, a group of dousers and energy workers has been working with earth energy lines to restore health to the lines worldwide. I have been involved with a group overseen by Rory Duff. It’s a group focused on one of three powerful cities: Washington, Rome, and London
You don’t have to be in those locations to connect with the energy nodes, the locational lines or the timing of the equinox! Just connect in mediation!
Washington – Balancing Conflict and Cooperation: Can We Get Along?
Geodetically, Washington has a Chiron line running through it during the equinox. The equinox provides a window to meditate on the deep wounds that exist in the US. Even more so now during this eclipse window! Rory Duff has written an article on these energy lines and how they work, and I’ve written an adjacent article focusing on the locational astrology for Washington. The article appears in the Pathways Magazine, which is Maryland’s go-to for all things mind, body, and spirit. Check out pages 31-32 for Rory’s post, page 33 for the one on astrology and page 54 for the Event – New Moon – Equinox Meditation For Peace At Washington Power Sites 9/21/25 in their free digital edition.

Rome: Balancing the God and the Goddess
In locational astrology, the asteroid Ceres line crosses close to Rome, and the moon line (not to be confused with the moon energy lines that Rory speaks about) is also very close on the 22nd. The energy of Ceres is connected to the mother, grain and fertility (or loss of fertility). Persphone, her daughter, was lured into the underworld by Hades/Pluto. The myth is linked to the seasons, as Ceres negotiated with Hades to have her daughter for half of the year, the other half she spends in the underworld. This myth is the focus of equinox as we descend into the fall and winter. However, we are still in the eclipse energy, and interestingly, I see the eclipse as assisting us in a return to the light of the Great Year (25,344 years in the Tychos). To bring balance to our world, focus on the return of light and the balance of the great year. Focus on the return of the Goddess and the balance of masculine and feminine energies.
Tiber Island or the Temple of Demeter is a great place to focus meditation.
London – Balancing Societies’ needs
London, England, is at the midpoint between the Saturn and Neptune lines, and is perhaps experiencing the harshest energy. Saturn in Pisces is dissolving structures, and when Saturn moves back into Aries in 2026, the structure of our identity will continue to be tested and challenged.
Neptune in Aries is the sacred warrior, and the group working under Rory’s guidance has been working with the energy of Joan of Arc. In fact, a statue of her stands in Washington; she is seated on a horse with a sword in her hand. Yet we understood historically that Joan of Arc never carried a sword and embraced that idea…. She led with heart, passion and persuasion. I encourage the same for those mediating for London.
Aries is also the sign of the pioneer and provides an opportunity to embrace being a social/cultural, business, technical, and even geographical pioneer. Everything is broken. Since the geodetic energy lines of Saturn and Neptune run through England, those there or focused there can focus meditations on inner strength, resilience, gratitude and detachment. For detachment, the image of the Buddhist drawing a beautiful and detailed sand painting, only to blow the sand away, comes to mind.
