A Better Look At The Fall Equinox – Through The Alternative Astronomy Lens

In this video lesson we are going to take a look at the Fall Equinox through an Alternative Astronomy lens to show us things about it you likely have never seen before.

Welcome back everyone and if this is your first time here, then hi there and welcome to you.

If you search on the internet for some info about the Fall Equinox, you will likely return some results that will tell you about the Fall Equinox being the first day of Autumn or Fall season and that it occurs on a shifting date on the calendar, but in the Northern Hemisphere, will occur the third week in the month of September.

The heliocentric model of the universe goes along with the usual descriptions you will find about the Fall Equinox from many various sources, including timeanddate.com where the explanation we are given is that it is the path of the Sun moving past the celestial equator and closer then to the Southern part of the Earth.  This move south for the Sun brings Spring to the Southern Hemisphere and Fall to us here in the Northern Hemisphere.

You can also find from various sources like timeanddate.com that the word equinox is derived from Latin and means “equal night”.

A usual explanation of the Fall Equinox also includes that it is during this time of year that all places on Earth will receive almost equal amounts of sunlight.  In other words, there are equal day to night-time hours.

Notice this explanation is all about the Sun, yet right in the word it’s telling us what we’re missing.  Equinox means equal night, not equal day.

We are going to have to look deeper then at the Fall Equinox night sky to see what is being hidden in the dark about it.

Even a source like timeanddate.com will tell you that equinox days don’t exactly have twelve hours of daylight in them.  If you look on sites like timeanddate.com however from your location, the site will tell you exactly what date on the calendar you will find equal or almost equal daytime to night-time hours in September.  This is usually not exactly on the date we will mark as the Fall Equinox, but you should see it will be within the same week.

As we’ve been learning more about as we go along, we are going to once again want to face due South and look up at what we’ve nicknamed is the Real Oracle or The Real All Seeing Eye in the sky.  

You find due South by turning your body until your left side is toward the direction the sun rises in the morning where you live and your right side is toward the direction the sun will set.

It is not only the Sun that rises in the East and sets in the West along the arc of the ecliptic in this area of the sky, it is also the Moon, all the known planets and all the star constellations of the zodiac travel along the same area of the arc of the ecliptic, too.

Now that we know where to look, we need to know when and what to expect that we will see, but no one is telling you about, but we will…or better said, we will show you what you have been missing about this Fall Equinox story.
