Northern Hemisphere autumn seasonal transitions

Overview

The transition into autumn in the Northern Hemisphere involves various seasonal markers, including meteorological, astronomical, and Celtic calendars. While the meteorological season begins on September 1 and the Celtic calendar marks it as early as August 1, the astronomical autumn is defined by the equinox occurring around September 22 or 23.

For the year 2026, the astronomical autumn begins on September 23, when the Sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south. On Saturday, September 23, 2026, the equinox occurs at 08:49 French time. This event results in nearly equal lengths of daylight and darkness globally and is caused by the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth's rotation relative to its orbit.

Following the equinox, metaphysics specialist Amana Manuela notes that the period serves as a time for alignment with natural rhythms and finding balance, coinciding with the Harvest Moon. In the Chinese calendar, this September period is characterized by an increase in metal energy, which may facilitate practical and analytical decision-making. Manuela suggests this is a time for meditative action and analyzing past actions, though she advises against major financial movements, such as large loans or payments, during the weekend of September 26 and 27 due to potential increases in emotional intensity.

Various cultures observe these transitions through different lenses. In the Jewish calendar, this period coincides with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Other observations include ceremonial gatherings at Mayan sites like Chichen Itza or public holidays in Japan. Astrologically, the Sun enters Libra, shifting focus toward social harmony and diplomacy.
