Jim, (or anyone else
) does the fact that the Vernal Equinox falls on the 21st this year effect the Temple of Thelema Holy Days reading list? I intend to follow the list this year during the Holy season but it looks like a minor adjustment will have to be made to accomodate the late Equinox this year.Is there a fix? Or is it a case of "business as usual" despite the late date of the Equinox?

Well, first of all, the date depends on where you live (what time zone). The upcoming Vernal Equinox occurs March 21, 0:08 GMT. That is (for example) 5:08 PM Pacific Daylight Time, or 8:08 PM EDT.
The meditation cycle is a human contrivance, so it has he flexibility of being so. On the rare (almost never happens) event like this, one just does one's best. I think what I personally would do if I lived in England is to do the first seasonal meditation on the evening of March 20, quite late, even though it is in the last couple of hours before the Equinox. Being that close has always felt to be within the "reach" of the new current. (For example, if practical circumstances warranted, I wouldn't hesitate to do the ceremony of receiving the new Word of the Equinox in the last few hours before the change.)
