Einen schönen Tag der Arbeit wünsche ich Euch.

#LaborDay in Austria falls on a #crossquarter day, roughly halfway between #vernalequinox and #summersolstice, as the days continue to lengthen.

🧵 1 Here we are, more or less halfway between Winter Solstice + Spring Equinox! (Thanks to @mirabilos I've recently learned more about the calculation of #CrossQuarter Days: it's not so straightforward!)
Anyway, for me a general idea of mid-way works- I'll make my natural observations over several days anyway, and if I have time/ energy for ritual, it will depend on work/weather!

We're approaching the northern summer/autumn #CrossQuarter, while in the south, winter begins to release it's grip as the winter/spring cross is nearly here.

This is sometimes called the #Thermistice - when the summer warmth or winter chill are at their strongest.

We celebrate this time together in person, and with our wider community online too, be it summer or winter. Join us (Wed 7th Aug, 5pm US Eastern) for an open discussion and catch up!

#GroundhogDay and #meteorology ... of course!
#GroundhogsDay and #astronomy ... yeah, that too!

#Crossquarter days mark the halfway point between
a #solstice and an #equinox.

As the #Earth continues its orbit about the #Sun, #spring is coming.
