Autumn Equinox!
Hello everyone, how are you feeling today?
There is no particular definition for the autumn equinox, it is a phenomenon that has both physical and spiritual interpretation. Some even classify it as legend, myths and fork lore. But the bottom line is that it has to do with the moon and the sun coming together. I will give an accurate definition later, so it is a concept in which people draw their meaning based on what they believe. I will try not to be bias with my writing.
The equinox in September, when the sun crosses the celestial equator in a southerly direction. Link
There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes. Link
Historically, the autumnal equinox has as its main symbolism the abundance of the harvest and the gathering of the fruits related to work, and it is also an important time to express gratitude for the projects 'sown' throughout the year, as well as to begin to review what we have achieved and the 'harvest of the first fruits'.

You can see different views from different sources but the concept still has to do with the equal amount of daylight and night time has a result of the sun crossing an equator.
I was not familiar with this before now, although I know autumn is a particular season (but not in my region). I know there are times where the day is as equal as the night, but I use to think I was just creating ideas on my own. But here you have it...
Thank you for your time...
You shared an interesting piece of info. I have fall here but never was aware of this either. I doubt anyone does. All we care about (or celebrate) is the longest day (most hours of sunlight) and the shortest day (midwinter December 21st).
That's true.
This is why I writing helps in gaining knowledge.
