TUESDAY March 20 Silent celebration 
Dear Jonathan,I live in Bali. Yesterday we celebrated the New Year. It falls on a different date each time, but, whenever it occurs, we all observe a day of silence. People have to stay in their houses with no lights or sound. Even the airport is closed. Brigid
Dear Brigid, |

WEDNESDAY March 21 Happy New Year! 
People often ask me what's the difference between the equinox that happens in March and the equinox that takes place every September. There are, of course, seasonal variations depending on where you live, but the main distinction is that in March, the days are just as long as the nights... whereas in September, the nights are just as long as the days! Joking apart, the equinoxes coincide with the Sun moving into a new sign of the zodiac. It entered Aries today at 1.07am. A fresh astrological cycle has begun. May I be the first to wish you a Happy New Year.

THURSDAY March 22 A Mayan pilgrimage 
By the time you read this, I will be in Mexico. I am not taking a holiday, I am making a kind of astrological pilgrimage - to the ancient Mayan temple of Chichen Itza. Though I am told it is a glorious place at any time of the year, I have come specifically to witness the equinox. Apparently the Mayans had a way of bringing this astrological event to life. They made their temple catch the sunlight on the equinox so that it casts a shadow in the form of a snake that slowly makes its way down the steps of the building. I'll say more once I have actually seen it!

FRIDAY March 23 Equinox at Chichen Itza 
At Stonehenge, on the solstice, astrologers expect sunrise to be partially obscured by cloud. But I was in Mexico, where the sunshine never stops. Here the ancient Mayans built a temple designed to come to life for a brief moment � twice a year. Surely there was no chance of missing out? To the amazement, though, of the 5,000 who were at Chichen Itza for the equinox, it began to rain near the crucial moment. Happily, the sun broke through just in time to reveal a stunning serpent made from light and shade descending from heaven to feed the Earth.
