This year, the harvest moon falls on Monday, September 20 - just two days prior to the autumn equinox.
Farmers Almanac facts & folklore
The word equinox comes from Latin aequus or “equal,” and nox or “night” because on the equinox, day and night are roughly equal in length. When the sun crosses the equator from north to south, this marks the autumnal [Sep or Oct] equinox and when it crosses from south to north, it marks the vernal [March] equinox.

The recent pull out of American forces in Afghanistan has forced us all to question actions and consequences arising from this. How it has changed our world and how each of us were affected in its wake.
