E Q U I N O X - equal/night. At this time, the length of the day and the length of the night are roughly equal, in both of the Earth's hemispheres (unlike at the solstices, which mark the polarities of longest day/shortest night and shortest day/longest night). I'm increasingly of the belief that closeness with the cyclic time marked by these types of events is important for health. I've noticed that my own particular touchy health points tend to flare up when circumstances suck into the idea that time is only linear, and it makes sense to me because body is so inherently rhythmic. May you be merry in the space between as we lean towards winter.
