ENTITY reports on the fall equinox

When the sun enters Libra, we experience nearly equal daylight and night, also known as fall equinox.

The fall equinox is considered the first day of fall in the northern hemisphere, and will occur on September 22 this year. That means that the sun will shine directly on the equator in about a month. There are two equinoxes per year, one in September and one in March.

The September equinox occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator above Earth’s equator. There is no set date for when it occurs, as it varies per year, but it can happen any time from the 22 to the 24 of September.

Customs

The fall equinox corresponds with many cultural and religious holidays around the world. In Greek traditions, fall is associated with the goddess Persephone and reflection on the success and failures from the previous months.

People in China celebrate the Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival around the time of the fall equinox. The festival is associated with the celebration of the abundance of the summer’s harvest, mooncake filled with lotus and other fun Chinese dishes.

The week-long Buddhist celebration called “Higan” is observed in Japan during both equinoxes since the Meiji period. They use this time to remember the dead by visiting and decorating the graves of loved ones.

Time of Balance

The fall equinox is a time for finding balance and preparing your mind, body and spirit for the winter cycle. From now on, the nights grow longer and the days are shorter as the sun’s power is considered to be in decline. The fall equinox is the perfect time for a “fall cleaning” in order to create harmony and make a change.

Focus on your Goals.

The perfect day to focus on your personal and career goals is on a rainy, autumn day as you lounge on your couch and find your center. You may be tempted to just kick back and binge-watch your favorite Netflix show, but you will feel so much better if you do something productive.

Autumn is the perfect time to start planning and achieving your goals since you won’t have to worry about summer vacation plans. Autumn is a perfect time for students to think about their life and to make changes for the new school year.

Get Inspired by Nature.

Autumn and spring nature both have inspirational benefits, but if you react more positively to brown and orange compared to purple and yellow, autumn is a better time to start fresh. Chill air with orange and red leaves falling on the floor has this sense of relaxation to it.

There is no other time to start fresh than in the fall when you get to sip on your pumpkin spice latte and enjoy nature. Plus, all of those fall fruits and veggies can help boost your energy so that you can get more done that day.

If you need to make an importance decision, make your way to your favorite park and enjoy the wonderful season while clearing your mind.

Eat healthy.

So you binge-ate while watching Netflix and slummed it in your couch all summer? There is no better and EASIER time to start eating healthy and adopting healthy habits than during harvest season. During autumn months, most fruits and veggies are cheaper, so take advantage of these prices and start your new healthy lifestyle.

Not only is it easier to eat healthy, but the weather is perfect for a run around the neighborhood. People tend to gain weight in the winter, so if you’re able to start and then continue your autumn healthy lifestyle, you might feel less guilty for drinking that third cup of hot chocolate.

It is especially easier to workout when it is a little colder outside and the sweat is keeping you warm instead of making you burn under the super hot sun.

Save money.

Autumn is a great time to start saving money for things you want to buy next year, or those upcoming Christmas presents that eat up our wallets. Whether it is buying a new car, new furniture or investing in something, start saving your money once it hits the fall equinox.

It may be harder to save money with energy and heating bills going up, but learning to budget will help you achieve any goal.

There are many reasons autumn is the best season to start adjusting your life and making it better. Autumn can sometimes be associated as the season of depression, but it really doesn’t have to be.

Autumn is about finding balance and starting fresh in all aspects of your life. Students consider autumn to be the perfect time to take up a new hobby or make changes to their education and schooling, so do that!

Do something you’ve always wanted to do and let go of all negativity from past seasons.
