September 19th [2-3] was the Autumn Equinox and the first day of the novel when Will starts his journey and walks the Chartres labyrinth. Thus, all Autumn Equinoxes are significant. They represent the waning of male power (when the light in the sky means that day is longer than night) and the waxing of female - all the way until the Spring Equinox on March 21st / 22nd when the moon has longer reign than the sun.

Alex's birthday is September 22nd, which is also an important date for Lucy. This can be connected with Shakespeare's interest in twinship and siblings.
