The Spring Equinox March 2011

The Vernal Equinox* and an Overview of the Three Months Ahead

Note:  The Vernal Equinox is the date in the northern hemisphere when the Sun crosses the celestial equator (declination 0) moving northward. Night and day are nearly equal and this date marks the beginning of Spring, thus, it is often called the Spring Equinox.

In the southern hemisphere, the center of the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward - it is often called the Autumnal Equinox, marking the beginning of Autumn in the southern hemisphere.

The Spring Equinox occurs Sunday, March 20, 2011, at 6:22 PM EST Washington D.C.

The Spring Equinox Sun promises employment in new professions your parents never dreamed existed. Some folks will find jobs where uniforms are required and others will need a pocket protector. The big money is in partnerships where one partner is a terrific salesman and the other one is terrific at explaining the product or service. Those willing to take a risk will have a lot of fun in investing in commodities, entertainment and the visual arts.
