An old claim says that you can stand an egg on end ONLY during the vernal or autumnal equinox.
First, what is the vernal equinox? This is the period of time after winter where an equal amount of daylight and nighttime occur at the equator.
The vernal equinox marks the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. It is believed that an equal gravitational pull exists around the egg during an equinox, making it possible to balance it on end. This is correct — however, it is always correct!

The Earth always has an equal gravitational pull on an object. As a result, you can balance an egg on end any time of the year. All you need is a little patience and steady hand to complete the task.
