Halloween or Samhain is not a random date. It is the furthest swing of the Sun from the central axis of the analemma to the East.

What is the analemma? Imagine taking the exact same photo of the day sky every day at the same time. Let’s pick a time: OK 11:11am it is.

You would discover that at every day throughout the year the Sun's position not only varies higher and lower (North and South) as you would expect with the change of the seasons, but also slightly East and West. 

This figure-8 (or lemniscate pathway) that the Sun makes in the sky is called the analemma.

Couple this action with “daylight savings time” (adding an extra hour tonite) and you get maximum confusion. Over the years I finally had to conclude that this is done on purpose—to throw off your natural circadian rhythms.
