True, it IS the conclusion of the Maya calendar, (based on a beginning of it several thousand years earlier, which I can't fathom, since they were not even around then to start a calendar).\n\nNevertheless, on this date, "the precession of the equinox", as I understand it, reaches its next ending revolution amongst the stars,(along the celestal equator), completing the circuit after 26,000+ years.  \n\nSo, THIS IS THE BIG EVENT, astronomically speaking.  So this will be the ending of something, (and the beginning also of the next 26,000+ year circuit).\n\nI've asked the question:, "When was this point in the sky\nestablished and by whom?", but no one has been able to answer it yet.\n\nAnd, I'm not wanting to be pessimistic, but this old world will be lucky to last till 2012, the way things are going, worldwide.

We'll be watching at my school if it's not cloudy (the weather doesn't look good for the northeast US).  We don't have anything fancy, just an 8" Schmidt-Cass with a solar filter.  If we do get clouded/rained out, then we'll be watching a webcast, projected on the planetarium dome.

Ostara\nSolstice\nAgain did the earth shift\nAgain did the nights grow short\nAnd the days long \nAnd the people\nof the Earth were glad\nand celebrated\neach in their own ways\n- Diane Lee Moomey\n\nAround March 20/21, we celebrate Ostara, the Spring Equinox, which heralds the beginning of spring and the of the agricultural year On this day darkness and light are in balance. From this day onward, day will dominate the night and the Earth will explode with life. Ostara is a celebration of this renewal and rebirth of nature and warming of the Earth. As mirrors of the world around us, this is an ideal time to put plans into action for growth in our own lives, to actively encourage change.\nOstara is named after Eostra or Ostara, who is the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring to whom offerings of cakes and colored eggs were made at the Vernal Equinox. Rabbits were sacred to her, especially white rabbits, and she was believed to take the form of a rabbit.\nIt is time for the Earth to "spring" into action and for us to initiate and celebrate new beginnings. One of the most universal symbols of this Sabbat is the planting of seeds and the sprouting of new life from the womb of the Earth Mother. The Vernal or Spring Equinox marks the beginning of the "light" half of the year, when day gradually becomes longer than night. From now until Autumn, the power of the Goddess dominates our festivities bringing light, warmth and fertility to the earth. The courtship of the God and Goddess commences with this Sabbat and this is an appropriate time to focus on the balance of male and female energies within ourselves. \nIn the Pagan Wheel of the Year, this is the time when the great Mother Goddess, again a virgin at Candlemas, welcomes the young Sun God unto her and conceives a child of this divine union. The child will be born nine months later, at Yule, the Winter Solstice.\nThe word "Easter" is derived from the word "Eostre" and the symbols used to celebrate Easter have pre-Christian origins. The Easter bunny reminds us of the hare, the animal most sacred to the Goddess Diana and the eggs that the hare brings symbolize new beginnings, rebirth, continuity and growth. Have you ever wondered why Easter changes dates and months from year to year? Interestingly it is always the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox! Blessed Be....\n\nHappy Ostara \nDivine-Candle(magickal name)
