Mid March 2026
The Ides of March (March 15) isn’t exactly a holiday. The date refers to the assassination of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BCE. Over time, the phrase has become shorthand for moments when caution is wise— I can’t help noticing how often history echoes itself.

Eggs Standing on their ends!
My favorite solar event is the Vernal Equinox which this year happens Friday, March 20th time is: 10:46 qm EDT/ 7:46 am PDT, at the exact time the sun is over the equator.
To connect with this worldly energy, try standing eggs on their ends. Feel the balance and extend it out to your friends, family, community and with the world.
