When are the solstices and the equinoxes?
Equinoxes are when there are twelve hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. The autumnal equinox is on September 21st on average, and the vernal equinox is on March 21st on average. You can tell that the seasons have changed and the equinoxes and solstices have occured because the amount of sunlight changes and temperatures also change. Solstices are when there is either the shortest or longest amount of daylight. The summer solstice is when there is the longest amount of daylight. After the summer solstice, days begin to slowly get shorter until the autumnal equinox. The winter solstice is when there is the shortest amount of daylight. After the winter solstice the days get longer until you reach the vernal equinox.

What does the phrase 'vernal equinox' mean in Latin?
The English phrase 'vernal equinox' refers to the spring[date] of equal night [and day]. For starting late March, the day is about equal to the night in length. It represents the end of the shorter days and longer nights of winter. And it represents the beginning of the longer days and shorter nights of summer. The equivalent in Latin is aequinoctium vernalis. For the noun 'aequinoctium' means 'equal night'. And the adjective 'vernalis' means 'of or relating to spring'.

Why is it so dark in the mornings right now it seems to be getting darker not lighter?
If you were to arise prior to sunrise, you would see that indeed, the sun IS arriving earlier day by day; however, once the vernal equinox passes, the sun will begin to rise earlier and earlier again (and also set later). The equinoxes (vernal and autumnal) are the two days of the year when daylight and darkness are of equal length. The autumnal ushers in shorter days and longer nights while the vernal brings us longer days and shorter nights. The daily difference is subtle, by only minutes, but on a monthly basis it is more apparent.
