Thursday 22nd February 9.30-10.30am 401 Whitehead Road, Hastings Cost $100 Contact sue.simpson0@gmail.com Mathematics and Astronomy New Year In China people are now celebrating their Spring Festival at the start of the Chinese Year of the Dragon. Rather like the Christian Festival of Easter (and the Jewish Passover) the Chinese New Year is based the relationship between Sun, Moon and Earth: it starts on the New Moon preceding the first Full moon after the mid-point between the Northern Winter Solstice and Vernal Equinox [5 February]. The Spring Holiday goes from the New Moon to the Full Moon. The Chinese Dragon [loong] is the only mythical creature of their 12-animal zodiac – depicted with a coiled dynamic form with an amalgam of features: scales of fish tail of a serpent, belly of a clam, head of a camel, claws of an eagle ears of a cow and eyes of a demon! However, in eastern cultures dragons are considered benevolent and wise yet powerful – they breathe clouds, move the seasons, and control the waters of rivers, lakes and seas. They are linked with yang and the masculine generative principle [perhaps more representing etheric forces]. To be born in the year of the Dragon is considered to be good luck, so the birth rate in China is much higher every 12 years. Whereas the year of the Tiger [yin] is not so auspicious and less children are born in those years. (Easter's astronomical aspect is that is celebrated on the first SUNday after the first Full MOON after the Northern Vernal EQUINOX. All through Winter the full Moon travels higher in the sky at midnight than the SUN is at midday. After the equinox the midday Sun climbs higher than the Full Moon (the Christ sun forces overtake the Moon forces) and does so until the Autumn Equinox. In summer, the full moon is as low as the winter sun.) Community NoticesCORNUCOPIA ORGANICS IS FOR SALE We are a long standing organic shop in Hastings, Hawkes Bay, and it's time for us to sell! Although it's the end of an era for us, we hope it is the start of a new era for someone else! So, after 30 plus years of serving the wonderful Hawkes Bay and Taikura School community, we would love to hand over the reins to someone who will hopefully carry on the impulse that we started many years ago and bring their own passion and skills into the business.
