It would seem that quite recently we celebrated with you a great solar holiday - the day of the summer solstice on June 21. And now the next, no less significant solar holiday, the day of the autumnal equinox, will come very soon. Solar holidays are special points in the movement of our planet around the Sun, denoting a change in the life cycle of all life on it.

So, this 2017, the autumnal equinox will come on September 22 at 20:02 UTC. In Moscow it will be 23:02, and in the more eastern cities of Russia it will be the night of next September 23rd. The date of the autumnal equinox is different every year, it can be both September 22 and 23. The astronomical year is about 6 hours longer than the calendar year. Therefore, the shift occurs every year, and if it were not for an additional day in a leap year, which evens out the situation, then the shift would go further along the calendar indefinitely.

Equinox is a special time when day and night are equal. When not only nature changes, but also the human worldview. Everything is saturated with unprecedented energy, a special period when the light and dark hours of the day last the same amount of time - 12 hours each. Knowing exactly what date is the day of the autumnal equinox in 2017, you need to stop the daily rush, put your thoughts in order. The autumnal equinox, like any sunny holiday, is the perfect time for positive changes in life.

According to the astrological calendar, this is the time when autumn comes to the northern hemisphere, and spring to the southern. Sunrise occurs exactly in the east and sunset in the west. Although due to the refraction of the sun's rays, daylight lasts a little longer. But after September 22, the day is rapidly decreasing, giving way to night. In the fall, the equinox will come when the celestial body crosses the equator and moves to the southern hemisphere. It is at this moment that a huge release of cosmic energy occurs - a favorable period for new beginnings.

With the onset of the autumnal equinox, the Sun pleases us with the last warm rays, the second Indian summer begins. People call this time "golden autumn" and it lasts until October 14. At this time, autumn leaves fall, and migratory birds fly south.

From an astrological point of view, the period of the autumnal equinox is indicated by the sign of Libra. The sun enters this sign exactly at the moment of equinox. Astrologers consider this to be the most fruitful period for negotiations and reconciliation with loved ones, because Libra is the best diplomat in the horoscope! The main thing is openness in everything, in communication and thoughts. You need to express gratitude for all the good that is in life, and ask the Sun about what is most important at the moment. During this period, a positive outcome is most likely in all endeavors.
