The Solar New Year, rooted in astronomical events like solstices and equinoxes, marks seasonal transitions and the Sun’s journey through the zodiac. Unlike the Gregorian New Year, this celebration is closely tied to nature’s rhythms, making it a unique reflection of humanity’s connection to the cosmos.
What is the Solar New Year?
The Solar New Year is based on the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, aligning with key celestial moments such as the spring equinox or winter solstice. These events signify shifts in seasons, influencing agriculture, culture, and tradition. For example, in South and Southeast Asia, the Sun’s transition into the Aries constellation, around April 14, heralds the Solar New Year, uniting many communities in vibrant festivities.
