Fall Equinox & Astrology
By Alma De La Cruz, Fri Dec 9th

The Fall Equinox begins the season of autumn in the northernhemisphere: the moment when the sun appears to cross thecelestial equator, heading southward; regularly, the fallequinox occurs around September 22-September 24, varyingslightly each year according to the 400-year cycle of leap yearsin the Gregorian Calendar.

In 2005, Fall Equinox arrived on the cusp of Virgo/Libra, onSeptember 22 at 22:23 hours, thus we need to give a follow up tothe projects we started during the last Spring Equinox. Thisfollow up is a seasonal time for balance and harmony, because,according to astrology, during the Fall Equinox, the Sun willenter 0 degrees Libra, the Air sign of balance in astrology. Thesymbol of Libra in astrology brings the fall Equinox in thenorthern hemisphere whilst bring the Spring Equinox to thesouthern hemisphere. Astrology uses a scale to represent thehouse 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 "equalnight", a concept which is better demonstrated seeing that thenight has the same length than the day. For measuring the lengthof a day, sunrise is the moment when the sun is half-above thehorizon and sunset is the moment when the sun is half-under thehorizon.

But day and night are not exactly of equal length during theMarch and September equinoxes. The dates when daytime andnighttime are each 12 hours occur a few days before and afterthe equinoxes. The specific dates of this occurrence aredifferent for different latitudes.

During the equinoxes, the Earth's auric or magnetic field isaffected by the Sun's alignment with the Earth's equator. Twiceeach year, at the equinoxes (Spring/March & Fall/September), theSun rises and sets exactly over the equator remaining closelyaligned there for approximately 48 hours.

When the Fall Equinox occurs, the life-force or universal energyon our planet changes. The balance and alignment energies comingwith the Fall Equinox make it a great time to manifest,meditate, pray. We can reflect on whether we have actuallyplanted the seeds we intended and have nurtured them tofruition. We can refocus our attention on what we truly want tomanifest and then create the right atmosphere or attitude tobring it about.

Some synonyms in astrology:

Fall equinox = 1st day of Autumn, Fall equinox = Autumn Equinox,Fall equinox

For those who live in the northern hemisphere, this is when thesun of God is crucified on the solar cross of the ecliptic andcelestial equator, and then descends into the"underworld"(southern hemisphere).

For those who live in the southern hemisphere, this is when thesun of God is crucified on the solar cross and then begins itsascension into heaven on the 3rd day of their spring.

The equinox solar effect reduces the magnetic field of theEarth, allowing us to connect our souls with other dimensions ordoorways. Equinox is also one of the best seasons for connectingwith Earth's sacred sites, like:
