Today is a cross-quarter day?

in: General

It’s so confusing!

I thought that November 1 was the cross-quarter day.

A cross-quarter day is midway between a solstice and an equinox, but I never bothered to check to see if November 1 was exactly half way between. If you get out your calendar and count off the days, you will find that, indeed, today is the autumnal cross-quarter day. :)

However, if you are Catholic or Scottish (or both I suppose), you might consider Martinmas, November 11, to be the cross-quarter day. Wanna know why it’s important to Scots? You gotta wait until the 11th.

    • Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts; and if people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish. -John Muir, naturalist, explorer, and writer (1838-1914)
