Mars continues its retrograde
motion towards Saturn,
as Jupiter moves slowly towards
the southern predawn sky.
A thin waxing crescent Moon
joins Mercury and Venus
in the western sky at dusk.
The bright stars Deneb and Altair
lie east as Mars and Saturn
rise early in the morning sky.
The Sun marches across the sky,
its centre crosses Earth’s Equator.
The Equinox heralds a changing
of the seasons-Spring
in the Northern Hemisphere,
Autumn in the South.
A magnificent celestial alignment it is.
At the house of Mercy, the cool
evening breeze blows silently,
leaving a slight chill in the air
as the Heavens open up to serenade
the arrival of the Piscean twins.
How majestic is March 20th, 2018!
