| Perhaps due to the fact that it is a full moon and the fall equinox at
least 10 people are due to visit Amsterdam on Saturday, 4 Americans
3 English and 3 Dutch. All of them are planning to visit me while they
are in the city.
What am I going to do to celebrate the event?
I think I'll sneak of to Paris for the weekend and come back on Monday
when it is all over.

| re: .0
I will do as I have done for the past year or so...follow
a detailed process, including meditation, for 3 days prior, the day,
and 3 days past the equinox. This is a process outlined by Lazaris
(and available on tape) and this past three month period has resulted
in my manifestation of various "things" that I processed and
"asked for" back in June. I won't go into details because it's
personal and also because I do not wish to subject myself to
the doubts others might express. However, I can verify that for me
this has proven itself successful.
If one wishes to focus on and utilize the energy available at
this time of year, it is there...and can augment or enhance our
realities.

| 1537.3 | What does it mean | NMSUV2::NAM | | Tue Sep 17 1991 11:12 | 4 |

| > What does it mean?
It means that the days and nights will be of equal length. Since the
summer solstice the days have been getting shorter and the nights
longer.
The full moon means that the side of the moon that faces the earth will
be fully illuminated by the sun and none of this side will be in its own
shadow.

Well, it's more important to some than to others. Some philosophies are highly
symbol oriented, and having a time where there becomes more darkness than
light (in the Northern Hemisphere) marks a period of depression, introspection,
or reflection to many.
Some religions consider the time to be a great beginning or ending, and in
some traditions, ceremonies take place.
Re .4 (Jamie):

For those of us North of the equator. It has other implications, not the
least of which is that at the equator, at Noon, Civil Time, the sun would be
directly overhead.
Re .5 (Joel):
>What I'm going to do is take out my telescope and look at it.
I presume you mean the Moon, and not the equinox. :-D
Actually, the worst time to look at the moon through a telescope is at its full
phase. The region between light and dark (called the "terminator," long before
Arnold Schwarzennegger was a twinkle in his parents' eyes) is where, because of
the elongated shadows, one can view the greatest detail on craters. This is
effectively absent during a full moon.

Oh, you're quite right. A full moon is too bright - viewing
lately has been perfect. Except that my neighbors all want
to come out "for a quick look" and I wind up standing in
line for my own 'scope! ;^)

| 1537.8 | also, sunrise/set due East/West | SCCAT::DICKEY | | Tue Sep 17 1991 14:34 | 16 |
| Another aspect of both the spring and fall equinoxes is that on those
days sunrise and sunset will be as close to due East and due West as
they are going to be, this holding true everywhere on the Earth on
those days (in other words, in the Northern hemisphere anyway, between
the spring and fall equinoxes sunrise/set actually occurs to the North
of East/West, between the fall and spring equinoxes it's south of
East/West, I suppose it's the other way around below the Equator).
Also, as for days and nights being of equal length, this actually
occurs a few days before the spring equinox and a few days after
the fall equinox due to the refractive effect of the Earth's atmos-
phere, such effect varying with latitude, local air temperature and
pressue, water vapor content, etc. . . . I suppose this same effect
alters the "due East/West" stuff as well by some amount of time away
from the equinoxes. Regardless, it does hold that the sun will be
directly overhead at the Equator at noon local apparent time on
those days.

| Hey, hey! We get a few good days...
Actually, we had had about a month of beautiful weather.
The day I picked up the new 'scope it clouded up and
stayed that way for almost two weeks. Then it got nice
again, but it was a new moon. So I'll enjoy this small
window of opportunity before our weather, as it will,
reverts to type... ;^)

| 1537.12 | Michaelmas and the autumnal equinox | HURON::LINNELL | | Wed Sep 18 1991 11:54 | 14 |
| Following the Equinox and associated with it is the festival of
Michaelmas. This honors the arch-angel Michael who is a time spirit
that rules the autumn season. It is significant that the summer months
is a time of expansion in which the dragon rises, a time of sulfur.
Then in late August (22-24) come the meteor showers from the sword of
Perseus. This brings a rain of cosmic iron to the earth. Iron is
Michael's substance and through its strength Michael seeks courage in
the human, a courage that can lead to healing and spiritual penetration
and new initiatives in life. Michaelmas is celebrated on September
26th as Christmas is celebrated on the 25th following the winter
solistice. The time spirits also rule an "age" of earth evolution. An
age is about 300 years. These "rotate" similarly to the zodiac
rotation over the course of a year. Michael began another reign, his
last, in 1879 at the end of Kali Yuga.
