Once every 19 years, there's an extra bit of balance in September.

This year, there's a Full Moon on the day of the Autumn Equinox.

Very pleasing symmetry.

Once every 19 years

Only a few more chances to view this Autumn Equinox/Lunar arrangement before we reach the halfway point in this precessional cycle: 2029, then 2048, 2067 and finally 2086

... while I'm about it, let's go back in 19 year steps to the time that Stonehenge was in use and look at Autumn Equinox 2330 BC.

Dancing with the Pleiades

Hmm - Summer Solstice point in Leo practically on top of Regulus, Pleiades at the Vernal Equinox point. Diodorus Siculus's Hyperboreans must surely date to this time.
