Fall Equinox & Astrology
The Fall Equinox begins the season of autumn in the northern
hemisphere: the moment when the sun appears to cross the
celestial equator, heading southward; regularly, the fall
equinox occurs around September 22-September 24, varying
slightly each year according to the 400-year cycle of leap years
in the Gregorian Calendar.
In 2005, Fall Equinox arrived on the cusp of Virgo/Libra, on
September 22 at 22:23 hours, thus we need to give a follow up to
the projects we started during the last Spring Equinox. This
follow up is a seasonal time for balance and harmony, because,
according to astrology, during the Fall Equinox, the Sun will
enter 0 degrees Libra, the Air sign of balance in astrology. The
symbol of Libra in astrology brings the fall Equinox in the
northern hemisphere whilst bring the Spring Equinox to the
southern hemisphere. Astrology uses a scale to represent the
house of Libra, meaning a balance of light and dark.
Let me give you a common explanation about equinoxes... the word
"equinox" was derived from Latin term that simply means "equal
night", a concept which is better demonstrated seeing that the
night has the same length than the day. For measuring the length
of a day, sunrise is the moment when the sun is half-above the
horizon and sunset is the moment when the sun is half-under the
horizon.
But day and night are not exactly of equal length during the
March and September equinoxes. The dates when daytime and
nighttime are each 12 hours occur a few days before and after
the equinoxes. The specific dates of this occurrence are
different for different latitudes.
During the equinoxes, the Earth's auric or magnetic field is
affected by the Sun's alignment with the Earth's equator. Twice
each year, at the equinoxes (Spring/March & Fall/September), the
Sun rises and sets exactly over the equator remaining closely
aligned there for approximately 48 hours.
When the Fall Equinox occurs, the life-force or universal energy
on our planet changes. The balance and alignment energies coming
with the Fall Equinox make it a great time to manifest,
meditate, pray. We can reflect on whether we have actually
planted the seeds we intended and have nurtured them to
fruition. We can refocus our attention on what we truly want to
manifest and then create the right atmosphere or attitude to
bring it about.

For those who live in the northern hemisphere, this is when the
sun of God is crucified on the solar cross of the ecliptic and
celestial equator, and then descends into the
"underworld"(southern hemisphere).
For those who live in the southern hemisphere, this is when the
sun of God is crucified on the solar cross and then begins its
ascension into heaven on the 3rd day of their spring.
The equinox solar effect reduces the magnetic field of the
Earth, allowing us to connect our souls with other dimensions or
doorways. Equinox is also one of the best seasons for connecting
with Earth's sacred sites, like:
The Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, USA, is some sort of equinox
corridor within its complex. This corridor marks the equinox
Sunrise, tracks the Sun's journey through the sky, and then
marks the equinox Sun set.
