1+8+9+2+9=29 2+9=11 Today is an 11 day! On Wednesday, September 23rd is the Spring (for those down south) Autumn (for those in the north) EQUINOX. An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being vertically above a point on the Equator. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. This sounds like a good opportunity to find some balance! By the way, Mercury is still in retrograde until September 30th. |
