There is no "winter equinox". Equinox is spring and fall. It is the Winter Solstice, and it happens when the earth reaches the extreme of it's orbital inclination and begins to reverse the inclination in the opposite direction. The days begin to get longer in the northern hemisphere, and shorter in the southern hemisphere.
