The Fall Equinox has been celebrated for centuries as the 2nd and final harvest of the year. A day to reap our final harvest of the season before we slide into the cozy and slower pace of the winter months. A time when the earth rests and resets in preparation for another season of growth the following spring. The equinox is an equal portion of both sunlight and moonlight , reminding us of the importance of balance between growth and rest.
