🍂 The balance of light and darkness arrives today.
On September 22, the September equinox marks the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, bringing the Northern Hemisphere into autumn and the Southern Hemisphere into spring.
Around the equinox, the Sun rises almost due east and sets almost due west, while day and night become nearly equal in length across much of the world.
But the meaning changes depending on which side of the equator you call home. 🌍
For the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the beginning of shorter days and longer nights. For the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the return of longer days and the approach of summer.
One moment in Earth’s orbit — two seasons, unfolding in opposite directions. 🍁🌸
