March always features the Equinox. This is when there is a balance of day and night in both hemisphere’s on Earth though it is the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Souther Hemisphere.

March Night Sky Observing Highlights

March is when the Sun crosses over the Aries Equinox point marking the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Sacred Hoop of Stars (as they were known to the Lakota Sioux and other Plains Indians) are high in the sky after Sunset. This configuration of stars is what astronomer’s sometimes call the ‘winter hexagon’ though the Sacred Hoop includes the Pleiades on the outer edge rather than Aldebaran, the eye of the Bull. The top star of the Hoop this month is Capella and moving clockwise includes the Pleiades, Rigel, Sirius, and Procyon, and Pollux and Castor.

The Ecliptic (plane of the solar system also the path the planets travel) and the Milky Way (plane of the galaxy) intersect near the middle of this hoop of Stars forming a cross within a circle. The place of the intersection occurs at what is called the Galactic Edge, where we look out beyond our Galaxy. The center point of the cross is located between the feet of the Twins and the horns of the Bull. This intersection is the place in the sky where the summer solstice (0 degree Cancer) is currently located.

Orion and the Hyades are located inside the Hoop and are easily spotted this time of year. Interestingly, the Mayans perceived the sword of Orion as a sacred fire of creation inside a fire pit. Modern astronomers have discovered this is a place where new stars are being birthed!

Heaven’s Gate is a configuration of Stars that form a great equilateral triangle with two stars that form the outer edge of the Sacred Hoop already mentioned and they are Sirius and Procyon. The third star is Betelgeuse marking the shoulder of Orion. These stars were known as ‘Heavens Gate’ to Alaskan Shaman’s and represent another version of an entry point or entrance into incarnation.

Another stellar triangle is also becoming more visible this month rising later in the evening marking the tail of the Lion and featuring the bright star Denebola, 43 light years away.
