Start of a New Season
Every year there are two equinoxes and two solstices, which mark the start of a new astronomical season. For millennia, these four turning points have played important roles in human culture.

The myths and traditions described below are rooted in cultures of the Northern Hemisphere, where the September equinox is the autumnal (fall) equinox. Seasons are opposite on different sides of the equator, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it is the vernal (spring) equinox.
