Dear bonnie, I tried to give actual examples, but this year the sun entered aries at a time when the sun was rising somewhere in the pacific, so that I cannot give you concrete examples: can´t find suitable places! But the procedure is as follows: For your (or specified location), find the time when the sun enters Aries. Find out the time of sunrise. If the time of ingress is after sunrise time, that day is New Year´s day. But if ingress is between midnight and sunrise of that date, the PREVIOUS day is New Year´s day, as if ingress were between previous sunrise and following midnight! But why are you so particular about this? The New Year has no real significance. muhurthas, yogas, thithis etc. may have, but try to live ABOVE these things. You may be able to choose days and hours and minutes for a few things to start or do, but most of life is based on other conditions. When I was still working any morning I could be given a ticket to fly to Rome or New york by some flight to attend a meeting with the clients of my employer. Could I say, "the muhurtha is bad and my transits are dangerous, so I won´t fly"?" Don´t get lost in the woods: every tree has a nymph, the forest is full of "minor deities" who expect to be propitiated, who will perhaps help you to get over difficulties. This is, as Shakespeare said in the mouth of Hamlet `the insolence of petty office!`. By taking the help of these little "uncles and aunts who help to hide you" you are only playing truant. Whatever lessons you miss in this life, you will return to learn! I was frequently a truant at school and college: had my fun, BUT slogged to learn whatever I had missed, so that in the end I passed with honours -: I had chosen my time to learn, but not escaped learning! I was never a model student, but in the schools and colleges where I studied my name is engraved as the best in my class of those years. What gave me this honour? Only the thought, as Kasi-visvanathan/Hans the beautiful swan Smedhol, often gushes: the Supreme Being rules over all others angelic servants! I greeted you all for New Year. I´d love to greet you all every day! But know that it is a nuisance, can pall with time! NOW is the muhurtha, the holy moment, the time to think of Narayana, Durga .... and every moment is NOW! Whatever we do - or think we are doing - let us dedicate it to the Supreme being and say, "help me to fulfil your wishes!". Kiss, marry, eat or go to the toilet with this thought and all your muhurthas will be right, all your days will be New year´s days, all your Christmases be white - and pure!
