“The autumn equinox arrives on Saturday, September 23, 2023. The exact time of the fall equinox varies by time zone in North America, those living in the eastern time zone will experience the equinox at 2:50am eastern daylight savings time and for those of us living in eastern Europe the time will be 9:49am, officially marking the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
The word “equinox” comes from Latin and means “equal night,” referring to the roughly 12-hour day and 12-hour night that occurs only on the two equinox days of the year. On the equinox we honor the balance and interaction of the light and the dark, and we may feel gratitude for the changes that come with the passing of time.
As we consciously link our awareness to the cycles of nature, our understanding of our own cycles begin to deepen.
Spiritually speaking, fall represents the harvest time of year, a time to acknowledge growth and expansion as a natural evolution of our organic being. Our lives go through cycles of growth, harvest, death, and rebirth just as we see in nature.”
