Crystals for the Transition to Autumn

Days are growing shorter, the nights are getting longer, and the wheel of time continues to turn. This coming Sunday, 9/22/24 at 7:43 AM CT, is the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere marking the change of seasons. The Sun will be exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length; this is also one of the two points in the sky where the ecliptic (the Sun’s annual pathway) and the celestial equator intersect. You can learn more about the Equinox and how it is celebrated in our previous post Get Ready to Party: Autumn Equinox Celebrations Around the World.
