I was curious about the old saying about the month of March: in like a lion, out like a lamb. I remembered it while packing an order full of our new lamb design.

Apparently their are two possible origins of the adage, one is meteorological, the other astrological.  The weather explanation is simple – the beginning of March tends to be colder than the end of March – blustery lion to mild lamb.

The other, older explaination originates with the constellations:  Leo, the Lion, and Aries, the ram or lamb. It has to do with the relative positions of these constellations in the sky at the beginning and end of the month.  An illustration of the astronomy explains it.  At the beginning of March the constallation Leo is rising into the night sky.  At the end of the month, Aries, the lamb is descending from the night sky.  So in like the lion and out like the lamb.
