#AUTUMN EQUINOX 2021 FESTIVAL FULL#
The autumn equinox is closely associated with the harvest, with the UK’s traditional harvest festival falling on the Sunday of the full moon closest to its position in the calendar. The autumn equinox marks the point when the sun is positioned exactly above the equator and the day is the same length as the night. If you reside in the Northern Hemisphere, you know it as the fall equinox (or autumnal equinox). Just like for the summer and winter solstices, druids still gather at Stonehenge to mark the autumn equinox, watching the sun rise above the famous stones. On Wednesday, September 22, we enter our second and final equinox of 2021. On or around September 22nd, it is a time of giving thanks. It is a time we take a few moments to honor the changing seasons and celebrate the harvest. What is Mabon?Īlthough the summer and winter solstices are perhaps more commonly associated with ancient celebrations, the equinoxes also carry significance for people across the world. Come and join us in celebrating the autumn equinox, the mid-harvest festival of Mabon, the sacred child, the Golden one. Fall is officially here, as Wednesday, September 22 marks the second equinox of 2021, otherwise known as the fall equinox (or autumnal equinox). The autumnal and spring equinoxes mark when the two hemispheres swap over, while the summer and winter solstices denote the sun reaching its most northerly and southerly points. The actual date when the timings are equal is referred to as the equilux, and falls a few days before the spring equinox and a few days after the autumn equinox.įor six months each of the year, either the northern or southern hemisphere is pointing slightly towards the sun, bringing the longer days and warmer temperatures of spring and summer. The Gregorian calendar does not always match up because the planet takes 365.25 days to orbit around the sun. but its roots as a harvest festival go back to ancient times. It usually falls on the 22 or 23 September but in 1931, it fell on 24 September. In theory the planet should get 12 hours of daylight on darkness on the equinox dates, although this is complicated slightly by the Earth’s atmosphere affecting the way we see sunlight. Mabon happens on September 23, 2023, celebrating the Autumn Equinox and is the second.
