Suggested Dates for Seasonal Ceremonies
Below are the dates when the Seasonal Moments could be celebrated ceremoniously in Australia, Southern Hemisphere. It will be the opposite Seasonal Moment for Northern Hemisphere on the same dates.
I have added in the date and time of the actual Seasonal Moment EST Australia. Other global times can be found at archaeoastronomy.com 2021 for 2021, and archaeoastronomy.com 2022 for 2022. The date for the ceremony has generally been set on the Saturday or Sunday closest to the actual astronomical Moment of the Seasonal transition: this is for general convenience, but the date of celebration could be varied for other reasons such as regional flora and fauna. I think it is special to celebrate right on the Moment when possible.
