The equinox is in the lowest dip of the far horizon. Summer and winter cross-quarters are at the ends of nearer ridges.
Half-way points between cross-quarters and the equinox are on tops of the far ridge though the summer one is only a minor top. Both lunistice ranges could be said to span dips.
Vertical scale x2, maxpic 3200x1600.
Orange lines mark the annual solar round. Lunistice positions over the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle are blue. More about the Solar Calendar More about the Lunar Calendar More about this placeLook West
