Stars and Constellations Highlights for March
The Sacred Hoop of Stars is high in the sky after Sunset and is marked by the stars Castor and Pollux, Procyon, Sirius, Rigel, the Pleiades and Capella. At the center of this Hoop is the Galactic Edge where the plane of the galaxy and the plane of the Solar system intersect forming the Galactic Cross where the June Solstice Sun currently rises. The Sacred Hoop is visible in the Northern hemisphere from November to April with the middle months being the best time to view it. Betelguese, Rigel and Orion’s Belt are also visible inside the Hoop. See article on Sacred Hoop
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. See Article on Celebrating the Equinoxes
