Wednesday, September 22 at exactly 8:09 p.m. PST, comes the First Day of Fall.
Technically known as the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of Fall is symbolic in many ways. It is during this time that the sun is directly above the Earth’s equator, resulting in an exactly equal time period for day and night.
The term Equinox has been taken from the Latin words ‘aequus’ and ‘nox’ that mean equal and night.
The First Day of Fall is followed by the Harvest Moon on the 23rd. It is during this time that the weather patterns start to shift. Dark Winter starts November 7 where nights will be longer than days.
