Discover the equinox! Learn about these two yearly astronomical events where day and night are nearly equal length worldwide. Explore their significance!
As the sun enters Libra around the autumn equinox, day and night are of equal length, creating a perfect celestial balance. This equilibrium is mirrored in the scales, symbolizing justice and the turning point of the seasons.
Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the astrological 'Age of Aries' ended around 2,000 years ago. Today, the spring equinox actually occurs when the Sun is in Pisces, though Aries traditionally marks the astrological new year.
