Balance in the skies, change in the air—the season turns with cosmic rhythm.
Turning of the Seasons
On September 22, 2025, the Autumnal Equinox arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the official start of fall. The equinox is the moment when day and night are nearly equal in length, a celestial balance that has fascinated humanity for millennia. Ancient cultures built monuments like Stonehenge and Chichén Itzá aligned to this astronomical event, treating it as a time of ritual, harvest, and reflection.
Today, the Autumnal Equinox still resonates as a symbolic shift—out of the brightness of summer and into the introspection of fall. It’s a season of transition, abundance, and preparation. From harvest festivals to modern wellness practices, this cosmic checkpoint reminds us to embrace balance and celebrate change.
