@Neblib I prefer vernal equinox so no one gets left out

@Inextinguishable_Ravings I hadn't heard it called that but looking up "vernal" it appears it might also imply spring? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vernal

@Neblib @Inextinguishable_Ravings Yeah, vernal and autumnal are just synonyms for spring and fall respectively. March equinox is the inclusive way to name it.

@Neblib @timesandseasons It does imply spring but vernal equinox is always used in March. I heard enough people explain it to me as a kid since I grew up in NZ.

The months do work too but they feel a bit boring. Maybe we should name it Cancer and Capricorn equinox?
