Happy Easter…. Good Friday April 18 2014: Easter Sunday April 20 2014

SGC Admin: Easter is a Christian celebration and observation.

Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday

Many people enjoy this celebration regardless of religious denomination as Easter is also a sign of spring.

Good Friday may be a statutory holiday in some countries, where business’s, banks, post office, and most stores are closed.

Our thanks to Wikipedia for the following information on this widely observed holiday. 

Easter[nb 1][nb 2] (also called the Pasch[1][2] or Pascha[nb 3][3]) is a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament.[4][5] Easter is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday), commemorating the Last Supper and its preceding foot washing,[6][7] as well as Good Friday, commemorating thecrucifixion and death of Jesus.[8] Easter is followed by a fifty-day period called Eastertideor the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox.[9] 

Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the “Full Moon” is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. 

Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are etymologically related or homonymous.[10]

Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but attending sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greetingclipping the church and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb, are common motifs.[11][12][13]

Additional customs include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades, which are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians

SGC Admin: Just wanted to add something new I found out regarding Easter Eggs, thanks to Tammy of Magical Dreams. It’s a legend/myth involving the Goddess Ostara (Eostre)

A very long time ago Goddess Ostara/Eostre found an injured bird and wanted to heal it and the story goes in order to do so, the Goddess had to change the near-death bird into a Hare  … However, the Hare although healthy in all ways had once distinct difference from all the other Hares…  instead of having babies this special Hair laid beautiful colourful Eggs…. And since that time we celebrate Easter with bunnies and eggs… :)

Full Moon April 15 2014: Moon void off course: Lunar Eclipse

Our lady becomes full on April 15 2014 at approximately 3:42 am where she is resting in the sign of Libra… but she also becomes void off course at the same time until she settles in with the sign of Scorpio at approximately 12:20 pm. This means we may feel the effects of both the Libra moon and the Scorpio Moon…

While the moon is void off course it is strongly suggested we not start projects or sign important documents or commit ourselves to people, events or places as we may have to retract our “promise” later, redo our projects or not finish them at all… or we may “regret” what we have signed at a later date… It is a good time to meditate, ponder and assess where we are .. And it’s a fabulous time to attend to routine tasks…. 

When the moon is full or becoming full in the few days leading up to the full moon it is traditionally suggested this time is best used to finish up projects we have already begun… And while it is not the best time to begin new projects, relationships, jobs etc… it shouldn’t stop us from making plans for the future, just as long as we don’t try to implement them now…. For those of us who have no choice but to begin something new during a full moon, take heart, it if doesn’t work out, keep the lessons learned and apply them in the future…. :)

The Moon in Libra is all about relationships, partnerships and making things beautiful… sometimes we can experience unbalanced relationships where a delicate handling may be required… and because the full moon represents completion it is possible that romantic relationships and business partnerships or sports relationships can come to an end now, if this is the case dealings should run fairly smoothly as most people are apt to be more agreeable. (Unless of course it is in their core nature to be awkward or create upset). It’s a great time to finish up our creative projects, especially ones which help to improve the look of our home or office.

The Moon in Scorpio….. ah this can be a challenging time for some… as our lady tends to become more sensitive here, and she can sometimes assume things, be jealous or take offence when none was meant… It is a good idea be more aware of our feelings now, but in a logical way instead of an emotional one… think before we speak, react, or act,  to avoid saying or doing things we may regret later, or which may hurt the feelings of others…. On the up side, it’s a great time for research and detective work, boding well for students and researchers… and regular folk who just want to discover something new or different… The Scorpio full moon may encourage us to be more intimate with another then we usually would be… this is great for lovers but care should be taken if single and out for a night on the town…

 

Solar and Lunar Eclipses Stock Vector - 24507378

Lunar Eclipse.… When a Lunar eclipse appears with a full moon it increases the effects of the full moon…. for 2 days before the full moon and for 1 day after the full moon, we may feel more anxious than normal and our time tables may be hectic, or at least it feels like it’s hectic, perhaps we feel disorganized or overwhelmed…. If an eclipse occurs on or near our birthday, it is likely that the coming year will prove to be one of transformation, changes and lessons…. wheel set in motion with a lunar eclipse full moon may take up to 6 months to occur…. This full moon/eclipse is on the edge of Libra, indicating issues and situations regarding relationships may be to the fore and will need attention… the love life could be unusual …
