Mabon is here. The fall equinox. Are you in?

Day and night the same length? It may not sound very exciting at first, but it marks a very special transition—and that opens up some truly unique opportunities. September 22, 2026, is that day again: the autumn equinox, or Mabon. A very special time of year.

The warmth of summer is in perfect harmony with the cold of the coming winter. We are still active; the harvest is in its final stages or has even been completed. The energy of summer still runs through our veins; we are not yet thinking of rest and retreat.

Still, it’s already evident that the cycle of the year will soon change dramatically once again. As it always does. As it must. The cold and the stillness of winter are already in the air.

It almost seems as if the world were to stand still for a moment. Pause briefly, take a deep breath, and then step across the threshold. We look back one last time on the bounty of summer and then boldly set out on the next phase of the year’s cycle.

And this isn’t just a theoretical concept; especially in turbulent times, such turning points offer good opportunities to steer one’s own life in a new direction. It’s not about changing the course of events, but about positioning oneself in such a way that one can benefit from them.

WARNING: Beware of Gerhard Zirkel!

Be careful when you’re dealing with me …

Admittedly, what follows is meant to be taken with a grain of salt. I conducted a little experiment and had ChatGPT write a warning. The AI was supposed to draw on all the information it has about me (which is a frightening amount) and write an article warning people about me before they work with me.

The result isn’t all that far off from reality; you can read the whole article here:

Did you actually notice? For some reason, there wasn’t a newsletter in July. Was it because things were hectic? Because I had a lot on my plate? Maybe I had too much “mental load”… phew… good point. And a really timely one, at least on social media.

“Mental load”

Women complain that everything falls on them: kids, daily life, work, etc. …

Men complain that everything falls on them: kids, daily life, work, etc. …

Both are probably right, given their current life situations and circumstances, and it’s perfectly understandable that people would first blame their partner, then society or “politics,” or even “circumstances.” Something has to change. Preferably “the other person.”

But he doesn’t. He either ignores it or whines even louder. Somehow, there’s no solution here.

But which one?

Let me try a metaphor:

Imagine you have a computer you’re working on. You have five tasks open, but the computer is getting slower and slower until it almost crashes. You know it should have more than enough processing power to handle your five tasks.

Still, it keeps crashing. You try running four tasks, then three. It sort of works, but you can’t really get any work done that way.

So you call in a specialist, and he discovers that there are 258 other tasks running on your computer that you didn’t even know about. Because they’re running in the background—they’ve always been there. That’s just too much for the computer; it brings it to its knees.

No one noticed that. Now that it’s been noticed, you can close them all. Your computer now has enough power again for the five tasks you’re working on.

How about you?

That’s exactly how it is with you. Behind the challenges of your current life lie an incredible number of patterns that operate within you like little programs and drain your life energy—without you even really being aware of it.

Because you don’t know any different—nobody ever tells you these things (though I’m doing just that right now). You’ve already brought these patterns with you—from your ancestral line, for example. Some are centuries old. Others you picked up in your earliest childhood.

So if your “mental load” is too much for you, it’s worth taking a look beyond the surface, beyond your thoughts. Maybe you, too, have 258 (or 258 million, or even just one big) processes running in the background that are worth shutting down?

Maybe, after that, your partner, your job, or society wouldn’t have to change all that much anymore. It’s worth considering, isn’t it?

If so, please email me at: mail@gerhard-zirkel.com

Mabon – Day and Night Are Equally Long in Fall

Mabon, the autumnal equinox, is almost upon us.

Day and night the same length? It may not sound very exciting at first, but it marks a very special transition—and that opens up some truly unique opportunities. September 22, 2026, is that day again: the autumn equinox, or Mabon. A very special time of year.

The warmth of summer is in perfect harmony with the cold of the coming winter. We are still active; the harvest is in its final stages or has even been completed. The energy of summer still runs through our veins; we are not yet thinking of rest and retreat.

It almost seems as if the world were to stand still for a moment. Pause briefly, take a deep breath, and then step across the threshold. We look back one last time on the bounty of summer and then boldly set out on the next phase of the year’s cycle.

And this isn’t just a theoretical concept; especially in turbulent times marked by a “heavy mental load,” such turning points offer good opportunities to steer one’s own life in a new direction.
