How to spell Equinox – September 2022

First things first: what is the September equinox?

No matter where you are in the world, on the equinox September 22 It is one of two days per year when the hours of the night are equal to the hours of the day (hence the term “equi-nox,” or similar night).

Why do we celebrate it? Hellenistic astrology has its roots in the Enlightenment traditions of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece. Because these regions are located in the Northern Hemisphere, the ancients associated the September equinox with the start of fall – a time of harvest and transition. From now until the December solstice, the days will get darker. The leaves will turn crimson and wilt. The wind will feel more crisp on our skin, and whatever harvest we’ve gathered, we’ll have to endure it until the next growing season.

If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite is true. At this point in the year, life has returned to Earth, marking the beginning of spring. During this symbolic rebirth, the soil thaws, shoots emerge, and the flowers release their fragrance.

The point is this: wherever you are in the world, the equinox turns the wheel of the year and usher in a new season.

Rituals to Honor the September Equinox

Since ancient times, humans around the world have marked both the March and September equinoxes as special, powerful, and even sacred. Some cultures built monuments, some made pilgrimages, and others gathered to feast, celebrate, and perform rituals, which helped align them with the energies of the new season.

Because of this, we want to offer you some ideas on how to engage with the moment yourself. Here are six rituals to help you honor the seasonal change.

  1. Happen in nature. Visit your favorite body of water, park, farm, or go hiking. If you have a garden, devote time to gathering the fruits or vegetables that are ready to be picked.
  2. Take A moment to enjoy your personal harvest. Enjoy all the hard work you are doing, gathering, or bearing fruit this year. Thank you. Share this with friends. Celebrate your progress and how far you have come.
  3. restore balance in your home. Clear out your closet and junk drawer. Give or sell anything that seems like extra weight. With equal hours of light and darkness, this equinox brings an opportunity to recalculate inside and out.
