There is no such things as summer and winter equinoxes. You have spring and autumn equinoxes, when the amount of daylight and darkness are equal. In summer and winter you have solstices, when you have the longest and shortest days in terms of the amount of daylight. The equinoxes are when the Equator transits the Ecliptic making the Sun appear as if it is moving either North or South depending on what part of the Ecliptic the Earth is in relative to it's rotation around the Sun.

March and September. Called the Spring and Autumn equinoxes and when one hemisphere is in the Spring Equinox, the other is in the Autumn Equinox. Same point on the Ecliptic. "Beware the Ides of March."
