AS the sun makes its annual progression across the sky twice in this 
cycle, it reaches a time of equal hours of day and night known as an 
equinox.
This year the autumn equinox falls on Saturday, March 20. 
For the people whose lives are tied to the land and its seasons, it 
represents the time of the second 'wild' or ‘green' harvest of the fruits 
and vegetables of the earth, a time to take store for the colder months 
ahead.
It is also a time of balancing, of weighing up what has been achieved 
and planning for what is to come, of looking at what is needed and the 
direction of our life's path.
The equinox has also traditionally (for over 3000 years) been a time to 
celebrate with festivals and fairs in a way of preparing us for winter.
