Today is Sept 22nd (check this blog’s time stamp). And here in the West coast it is the Fall Equinox. On the East coast the Equinox is tomorrow. Can you take an egg out of your refrigerator and balance it on end? Today it should be easy enough for anyone to do in less than a minute.

There are naysayers on the web who claim that this can be done on any day of the year. I personally have found it impossible to balance an egg for the past two months. I tried this on the very same counter where there are now two eggs balancing on end - one put there by me, and one put there by my boyfriend Lennie They have been there for over 4 hours now, and counting….

And this has led me to a little experiment. With the help of a friend of ours we filmed the egg balancing this morning in his studio. And we will film it again in a week to see if there is any difference betwen the Equinox and a day that is NOT an Equinox. But seeing is believing, so check back and we’ll have the video up as soon as possible. And of course, there’s no greater proof than your own experience, so go ahead and try it. And then try it again next week and see if there is any difference. We can probably count tomorrows results as falling within the parameters of the actual Equinox no matter what coast you are on since there is a little bit of lead up and fade out time involved with the Equinox phenomenon.

The Equinox is one of two days in the year when the balance of light between night and day is exactly equal - thus the name. The other date is March 22, also known as the Spring Equinox. Part of the reason for this, and the reason that we have seasons and the Winter and Summer Solstices is because of the relationship between the Equator and the Sun, also known as the Declination. On the Equinoxes the SUN is on the same level as the Earth’s Equator. It is at 0′ zero degress Declination. On the Summer Solstice it is at it’s farthest North point - and therefore gives us the longest day of the year. On the Winter Solstice the SUN is at it’s farthest South point and therefore gives us the shortest day of the year.

This seemingly complicated geometry is what sets the Astrology that I use apart from the standard flat map Astrology which is all most people have ever heard about. If the Equinox - and therefore the Declination - has an effect on the Egg, what do you think it does to you?

Well, I can answer that question, but 99% of other Astrologers can’t.
