The equinox happens toward the end of this month, heralding the beginning of autumn in the North Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

An equinox happens when the sun crosses the celestial equator, an imaginary line in the sky not unlike our Earth's own equator.

It's on the equinox that the sun rises due east and sets due west. This is why people often go to famous landmarks to watch the rising of setting of the sun on the equinoxes and solstices. In our ever changing world, it's nice to know there are some constants.

Astrologically, the autumnal equinox is when the sun sign of Libra begins. It's fitting, as this is the time when day and night are of equal length, and Libra is the sign of the scales.

The full moon that corresponds with this event is called the Harvest Moon or the Corn Moon. The few days around the equinox and the full moon bring a period in which everything is ripening and full of energy.

It all seems to be coming into fullness, preparing either for the coming of winter or the start of the growing season.
