Autumn Equinox

Generally it is celebrated September 23rd, but sometimes the actual day varies from a day or two around the 23rd. The actual Autumn Equinox occurs when the sun journeying south bound crosses the equator and we experience a time when day and night are equally measured in time. Hence it is often symbolized as a time of great balance, it is usually after the Autumn Equinox that we have to set our clocks back (Autumn-fall back, Spring-spring ahead) because during the spring and summer time months the hours of the day have been longer than the hours of the night, with winter around the corner the time difference in day and night reverses making the hours of night and darkness increase over how many hours of daylight we receive.

It’s also time to finish harvesting, and start storing away the bounty of your garden for those long winter months.
