Friday, September 22, 2017 at 1:02 PM (PDT) is the fall equinox, also called the autumnal equinox. There are two equinoxes every year in March and September when the angle of the Earth’s axis is oriented neither away from nor in the direction of the Sun. On this day the Sun’s rays shine directly on the equator.

The autumnal equinox occurs when the Sun crosses over the celestial equator from north to south. At this time of the year, day and night hours are evenly balanced. It also signifies the first day of autumn, or fall, in the Gregorian calendar.

Reaping the harvest, gathering together and celebrating are the rewards for labor performed and time spent. This is an occasion to relax and to take pleasure from life at its most fruitful.

While the first day of spring signifies a time of rebirth, the first day of autumn indicates the reappearance of conditions that encourage slowing down, preservation, reflection, and preparation for the future. Have a great month, and always remember: Keep looking to the stars!
