The Sun's Movement Overlaps with the Breaks of the Seasons
The Sun advances one sign in about 1 month, and goes around the 12 signs in one year. Within that movement, the four days that become especially large breaks are the days falling at the beginnings of the seasons.
By calculation for 2027, the day it moves into Aries on March 21 is the spring equinox, the day it moves into Cancer on June 21 is the summer solstice, the day it moves into Libra on September 23 is the autumn equinox, and the day it moves into Capricorn on December 22 is the winter solstice. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are each read as signs that begin a season. Because these four days come about every 3 months, they almost overlap with quarterly breaks. That the quarters of work and the Sun's breaks are in a close position is the foundation for using this way of reading.
March, June, September, December — The Meanings of the Four Breaks
The four breaks can each be read as a different role. The spring equinox on March 21 is a break for starting. It is also a period close to the beginning of the fiscal year, and can be used as a period for placing new assignments and plans. It is a period suited to placing the judgment to decide.
The summer solstice on June 21 is a break at the middle of the year. It is read as a period for checking how what was started is advancing, and adjusting toward the second half. The autumn equinox on September 23 is a break for the second half. It can be used as a period for looking at the remaining period until the end of the year, and dividing what to continue from what to stop. The winter solstice on December 22 is a break for closing. It is read as a period for deciding a summary of the year and the content to hand over to the following year. It is a form of placing the four roles of starting, adjusting, dividing, closing for each quarter.
How to Use the Sun's Breaks for Quarterly Arrangements
Quarterly arrangements are often decided by a company's closing of accounts and fiscal year breaks, but by that alone, it can be hard to place breaks for your own judgments. The Sun's four breaks come at almost the same period every year, so they are easy to use as markers for personal review.
As a way of using them, before and after each of the four days, you place work matching its role. Before and after the spring equinox, decide the content to start and the person in charge. Before and after the summer solstice, check how things are advancing and decide necessary adjustments. Before and after the autumn equinox, divide what to continue in the remaining period from what to stop. Before and after the winter solstice, leave the content to hand over in writing. If you take a form of repeating these four every year, judgments concentrating at the end of the year decrease. In particular, by placing the judgment to stop at the autumn equinox, there will be less deciding in a hurry at the end of the year.
Dividing Monthly Breaks from Quarterly Breaks
Because the Sun moves through a sign in about 1 month, it also makes monthly breaks. This site's monthly horoscope is written with those monthly movements as the basis. A monthly break is used for daily arrangements and that month's judgments.
On the other hand, a quarterly break is used for larger judgments. Content that is hard to decide in monthly units, such as swapping assignments, beginning handing over, and deciding whether to continue or stop. If the two breaks are mixed, a large judgment can be changed by a small monthly movement. Placing large judgments at quarterly breaks and small adjustments at monthly breaks, divided, is the basics when using the Sun's movements. With this division, you can place judgments within the flow of the year without being swept along by each month's reading.
As a concrete work example, if you consider handing over an assignment, a form where whether to hand over itself is decided at a quarterly break, and the concrete procedures and schedule for handing over are adjusted each month, is suited. By dividing the time to decide from the time to adjust, it becomes easier for both the side handing over and the side receiving to see the order of preparation.
Because It Is a Break Repeated Every Year, It Can Be Used
The good point of the Sun's breaks is that they are repeated every year. Because it is not a movement that occurs only in a special year, it can be incorporated as a habit within your own arrangements.
The four days in 2027 are March 21, June 21, September 23, and December 22. Put these dates in the calendar, and before and after them, place reviews matching the roles. By just that, places to put judgments arise in the flow of the year. The movements of the stars are not only for predicting the future. Using repeated breaks as markers for your own arrangements is a way of reading that fits how work is proceeded with in your forties and beyond.
Points to Note When Placing the Four Breaks in Your Own Schedule
When using the four breaks, there is no need to make them coincide completely with the breaks of a company's fiscal year or closing of accounts. The spring equinox is March 21, a period close to the end of the fiscal year for many companies, but there is a shift of a few days. Rather than forcing that shift to match, a form of placing them as your own review days, on a day when work can actually be done, such as a weekend before or after the spring equinox, is realistic. The meaning of a break lies not in the date itself, but in placing work matching the role before and after it.
Also, there is no need to handle all four with the same weight. It is sufficient to use them changing the weight to match your own situation, such as: a person with handing over ahead in that year thickens the winter solstice and autumn equinox breaks, and a person whose new assignment begins thickens the spring equinox break. On the premise of knowing the roles of the breaks, deciding yourself which break to use as the center is the premise of this way of reading.
At the end of the year, if you look back at what was decided at the four breaks, the placing of the next year's breaks also becomes easier to decide. If what was decided remains in a record, in the following year you do not need to repeat the same checking. A habit of leaving briefly in a record the content decided at each break changes the Sun's cycle into a system of arrangements that can be used every year.
The four breaks are also breaks that are easy to share with people around you, such as family and colleagues. Because a change of season is a period everyone can feel, it is easy to convey as a time for review. By layering a work break not decided by the movements of the stars alone, but onto a break of the seasons — a marker everyone can share — arrangements with those around also become easier to match. These four days can also be used as a bridge for connecting a personal reading to schedules with those around.
