Everything Under the Moon

So, I feel much more at home in the Autumn and the Winter that I do in the Spring and the Summer. While all the seasons are beautiful, I appreciate the beauty of Autumn and Winter much more- and I feel, somehow, as if I belong in them. I'm curious as to whether anyone else feels like this- do you have a season you feel at home in? And does anyone think it's of any spiritual significance?

I don't have a favourite season. I take all of them as part of the life circle. The one I don't really like is summer but with no rational reason.

The spiritual significance of each season:
Spring:
Another transitional season, spring is a time of phenomenal renewal. The earth reawakens from her slumber, and explodes with new life. In our own lives, Spring can be symbolic of starting new projects, sewing new seeds and coming forth with new ideas. This is also a time to contemplate health and physical well-being too. Be refreshed and prepare for your soulful debut!

Summer:
In a word - 'PARTY!' And our host is the sun whose presence is fierce and utterly forthright on the scene. Days are longer and the rays of the sun dissolve all shadows in our lives. No hiding, no secrets, no darkness. Summer is a time of light, joviality, expression and wholehearted action. To be sure, this season is symbolic of the vitality inherent within every heart.

Autumn:
It's a season of transition, it embodies a culmination - it's Nature's 'last hoorah!' before retiring into winter's slumbering mood. This is a hustle-bustle-boogie down month as preparations are made. Autumn is symbolic of the activity inspired by the fire-glo radiance of the changing foliage we see this time of year. This is a time of taking stock of all the bounty and provision we've been afforded. A time for itemizing our blessings and recounting our joys.

Winter:
It's a season governed by the recluse, the hermit. Activity gives way to dormancy. Life is still, indwelling and silent. This is a time of introversion, contemplation and going within. Symbolic winter invites us to quiet the mind, still the soul, and crystallize our inner workings. This is a time to ice skate through winter whites as a means of gaining purity and clarification.

Take your journey hand-in-hand with Nature by knowing the (general) dates of the equinox and solstices. In this way, you can work inwardly while Nature expresses her grand show of transition outwardly. Keep in mind, these dates I'm listing are for the northern hemisphere of the globe. Please also bear in mind the actual dates shift around a little due to leap years, etc.

Dates for Seasonal Equinoxes and Soltices

Spring (Vernal) Equinox = Around March 20th
Summer Solstice = Around June 24th
Fall (Autumnal) Equinox = Around September 22nd
Winter Solstice = Around December 25th

I'm an autumn-person myself. My highest psychic activity is during the dark half of the year, and that can be for spiritual reasons as well as physical...I'm less physically active in winter, with the main activity being snow shoveling and hot chocolate consumption. I meditate better in autumn/winter. None the less, after winters harsh Jan.& Feb, I welcome spring as relief.

I love the feel of changes in autumn, the variety of weather patterns, the colors and smells. It makes me feel livlier than in sluggish summer heat. A sunny crisp autumn day is a joy.

Thank you for the replies! It's interesting stuff, and I appreciate people taking the time to answer.
(Sorry for how long it took me to reply!)

I like autumn. I like the changing leaves and the smell of wood smoke in the air.

I too favour Autumn and Winter. The shorter days and darker nights feel more spiritual to me, and more moody.

I was born in Winter. Summer is my least favourite season. I do like all the greenery, trees full of leaves, and all the blossoming nature, but the warmer weather is not my cup of tea.
I really don't like the light nights either (for the most part). I find it hard to relax when the evenings are not dark.
I'm more of a small space person, and I feel the darkness acts as a cover, whereas the light of Summer feels open and exposing.
My senses are sensitive, so I don't like being in bright, hot sunshine.
