Days of equinox mean the change of the time of the year when the sun passes through the heavenly equator line. The spring equinox takes place in the sign of the fish, and autumn - in the zodiac constellation Virgin. Accordingly, the Martov Equinox marks the arrival of spring and preparation for the summer, and the September - the onset of autumn and the preparation for the winter.
Many nationalities on our planet have a new year noted at the occurrence of spring, when nature is preparing for his flourishing.
