Cycles are circles by another name.
Add the dimension of time and the seasons dance in a spiral, either slow or fast depending on how much attention you pay. Thus my question.
Jews answer the question: September. Harvest is in and the barns are full. We know if the coming year will see feast or famine.
Christians, and other northern hemisphere types preoccupied with equinoctical precession, answer: At the Winter Soltice when the world stops getting darker.
Chinese answer: The first new moon after the first full moon following the solstice when we begin to plant.
The answer swings from the prudent, to the relieved, to the hopeful.
