Happy Equinox! Today is the day when day and night are equal, and from this day until the winter solstice the abundant light will gradually recede, giving way to fall in the Northern Hemisphere. From an acupuncture energetics perspective, we are moving into a more yin time. Everything becomes slower, quieter, less active, cooler, darker…

Today marks the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Day and night are nearly equal on this day, and going forward we will see the days gradually shorten and the nights get longer. So, we are moving into a time of increasing yin and receding yang. What this means is that the active, warm, bright, masculine energy is shifting to a more passive, cool, dark, feminine energetic.
