On this day, our planet reaches a perfect cosmic balance: day and night are nearly equal all around the world.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, this marks the beginning of astronomical autumn - a season of golden leaves, crisp air, and longer nights under starry skies. Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, spring awakens with longer days and new life returning.
Equinoxes have been celebrated for thousands of years as symbols of harmony and renewal. From ancient monuments aligned with the Sun to harvest rituals, they remind us of our deep connection with the cosmos.
Take a moment today, September 22, 2025, to enjoy the balance of light and darkness.

It's Homecoming week! There are lots activities planned. See the attached image for details.
