What happens during this time: The sun crosses the celestial equator and moves southward in the northern hemisphere during the September equinox. The location on the earth where the sun is directly overhead at solar noon is known as the subsolar point. The subsolar point occurs on the equator during the September equinox and March equinox. At that time, the earth’s axis of rotation is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of the earth and the sun. This is the time when many people believe that the earth experiences 12 hours of day and night.
What I've always wondered is, do you think other than human persons ALSO recognize this holiday and celebrate it, maybe, in their own way?

Re: Autumn Equinox
Fri, September 18, 2009 - 10:08 PMMe and Raven have a thing on this holiday - There is a spot I found on a fall equinox about two years ago. I had this erg to take a drive I had no idea where I was going and I ended up fallowing raven to this little fishing whole and fallowed an old logging road away from the reservoir and sat on a log. Sure enough raven came bye again and I started to caw back and forth with him . . . . been back a few times, but during the equinox is when it so alive. So in a sense I think our animal relatives are very aware of this and other solar events . . . more then they are given credit these days.
