If you want to join Nature for the Equinox and Solstice times, consciously link with Nature for the precise time. Your body and all you projects are nature too, and will appreciate this conscious connection to this big natural rhythm.
From experience, I can highly recommend doing so, it feels good and one can sense the Solstice quality at that time. It has great benefits on the yearly cycle to align at these special moments with Nature!
