"Aia nō ka equinox o ka hāʻulelau, a he ʻuʻuku ka hau ʻohe i ke ahiahi." He kiʻekiʻe a he ʻōlinolino ke kau hāʻulelau, a ʻo ka hā o ka lā o ka hāʻulelau, ka equinox o ka hāʻulelau, ke hele mālie mai nei.

"Ua like ka equinox o ka ʻauʻau me ka yin a me ka yang, no laila ua like ke ao a me ka pō, a ua like ke anu a me ke kauwela." Mai ka inoa ʻana o ka equinox o ka ʻauʻau, ʻaʻole paʻakikī ke ʻike i kēia lā, ua like ka yin a me ka yang, ua like ke ao a me ka pō, a ua anu ka hau a ua akāka ka makani. I ka manawa like, aia kēia lā ma waenakonu o nā lā 90 mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka ʻauʻau a hiki i ka ʻauʻau hau.

I ka wā ma mua, he mea koʻikoʻi loa ka equinox o ka ʻauʻau i nā huaʻōlelo lā he iwakāluakūmāhā. No ka mea, ʻo ka equinox o ka ʻauʻau ka "ʻahaʻaina mōhai mahina" kuʻuna, a ua ulu pū ka ʻAhaʻaina Mid-Autumn mai ka "mōhai ʻahaʻaina kau i ka mahina". Eia kekahi, mai ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka equinox o ka ʻauʻau makahiki ʻo ia ka "ʻAhaʻaina ʻOhi Mahiʻai Kina". I kēia huaʻōlelo lā, i ka wā e piha ai nā mahinaʻai i ka hauʻoli o ka ʻohi nui ʻana, a loaʻa i nā kānaka ka nui o ka meaʻai e ʻono ai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hauʻoli i nā lā liʻiliʻi o ka waena o ka ʻauʻau me ka ʻole o ke kaumaha i ke ʻano pōʻeleʻele e hiki mai ana.
