Astrologer View: September 23rd. FALL EQUINOX
by Martin Schulman
The Autumnal Equinox will occur on September 23rd. at 2:52 a.m. PDT (9:52 U.T.) when the Sun will be directly above the Earth's equator.
At this celestial point of 0' declination, night and day become nearly equal in length. It is
interesting to note that the word, 'Equinox' comes from the latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night).
Yet, at the poles, far from the equator, where there are only two seasons (6 months of daylight,
beginning at the Spring equinox and 6 months of night beginning at the Autumn Equinox), this special time
symbolizes the transition from one season to another.
Since most of us do not live near the poles, and therefore experience less severe climate changes throughout
the year, this fall Equinox marks the beginning of the Autumnal Season in the Northern Hemisphere at 0
degrees of the sign Libra.
This equality of day and night at the equator suggests a rebalancing of
that which was out of balance.
As we enter Libra, symbolized by the balanced scales of Karmic Justice, Fairness and Equality,
we are reminded that this is a time of quiet reflection so we may attempt to center the
yin and yang in our lives.
We must be considerate of others, realizing that they too suffer in ways they do not often show.
As we reflect upon ourselves, Libra teaches us the importance of tolerance in all of our
relationships so that we do not create bad karma for ourselves or others going forward.
Yet, most importantly, at this time of looking inward (as the leaves fall from the trees which
get ready for their winter dormant period), we too must realize that this is not a time to
be showy, but rather accept ourselves on the very deepest of levels with the knowledge that
more can be accomplished with love than even the greatest of efforts without it.
Love and Light,
Martin Schulman
Equinox Legend: Egg Balancing -
It has been thought from the earliest of times that because the Equinox
is a time when graviational forces are evenly centered (with the Sun at
0 degrees declination) that it might be possible to balance an egg
standing on end without difficulty (a seemingly impossible task).
Logic would say that the closer one is to the equator, the easier
this would be to do. Yet, reports have it that with some effort
and approximately five minutes, this difficult feat could be
achieved from almost anywhere.
In fact at least one scientist (of the genre of those who like
to take the magic out of life) has reported that an egg could
be balanced at any time of the year without the assistance
of an Equinox.
Because of scant research on such an important phenomena,
it is difficult to reach a conclusion as to who is right.
Of course any good astrologer worth their salt, would defy
that scientist to try to balance a chicken, equinox or not!

Remembering a Great Human Being: Mahatma Gandhi
As we go into the Autumnal Equinox, we are reminded of the value
of Peace and those who sacrificed their lives to achieve it. We
have so much to be grateful for in the loving memory of Mahatma
Gandhi who had both his Sun and Ascendant in Libra.(Full
horoscope with interpretation can be found in
Karmic Astrology vol. 1, The Moon's Nodes and Reincarnation)
One of the wonderful things about Astrology is that it calls
attention to how the charts of people who have done so much
to advance our causes of humanity live on in spirit, beyond their
mortal life, in our hearts and our minds, as the very fibre
of decency upon which we are trying to build our civilization's
future.
Celebrities influenced by this Equinox are;
- Bruce Springsteen, Musician
- Kevin Sorbo, Actor-Hercules
- Mickey Rooney, Actor
All of these have their Sun within 1 degree of the Equinox.
