Autumn Equinox
Fall Equinox (Sept 20–23)
The Autumn Equinox occurs when day and night are again nearly equal, as the sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward.
The Autumn Equinox marks the second balance of the year — light and dark once more in parity, though now leaning toward longer nights. It anchors harvest timing and seasonal descent.
Below you’ll find articles on equinox astronomy, preservation traditions, global harvest customs, and the symbolic meaning of measured decline.
This is the hinge toward inwardness — not abrupt, but precise.
