During the fall (autumnal) equinox, where does the north pole face?

During the fall (autumnal) equinox the North Pole is not facing to anything (Sun wise speaking), this is one of the two days of the year, the other being the spring equinox, when the North Pole is neither facing towards the Sun, nor leaning away from it. This is the day though that marks the beginning of the North Pole's leaning back from the Sun.
