Theme: Autumn Covers

A True Autumn Day

The first day of fall 2023 was Saturday, September 23. This day is also known as the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The Autumnal Equinox is one of two days of the year when our Sun is directly above the Equator, dividing night and day into two equal lengths worldwide. The other day is the Spring—or Vernal—Equinox, which fell on March 20 this year.

Of course, the seasons are flipped in the Southern Hemisphere, where winter has ended, and now it’s the season of Spring.

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

—ALBERT CAMUS

The Libra Sun

According to Western astrology, September 23, 2:49 AM EST, is when the sun enters the constellation of Libra. The twelve signs of the Zodiac are grouped into four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. Libra is an air sign and has cardinal energy. Cardinal energy corresponds with the changing seasons and is a time for innovation and trying new things.

The symbol that represents Libra is the scales. The scales are the only inanimate object in the Zodiac. Some qualities that Librans possess include focusing on balance, harmony, and justice. They are also lazy, gluttonous daydreamers. (I should know. I’m a Libra!)

The Libra season is all about finding balance and harmony. It’s the time of year to celebrate the abundance in life, which coincides with the Autumn harvest.
