On the Scale: The Vernal Equinox allows eggs to be balanced on their end.

The vernal equinox occurs on roughly March 21 each year, and many claim that objects such as eggs and brooms are particularly susceptible to the shift in the Earth’s orbit as to achieve a center of gravity that allows them to be balanced on end on that particular day.
