This past Monday was March 21st, the start of the astrological year as the Sun moves into the sign of Aries - new beginnings!

Canada Post started off the astrological new year in style by introducing the first of a new set of stamps. 4 of these stamps: Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer will be introduced during 2011 along with specially coloured first day covers for each sign. Once all 12 have been released, the first day covers will be able to be arranged in a complete circle - a sky map.
