The Sun's Ingress Astrological Information 2012 - 2014

Updated January 1, 2012 by J McCaul

Below is a table displaying three years of Solar Ingress dates, times (UTC), seasonal changes, and zodiac sign. It's a common question, "When does ____ season start?" Each year, the date and time is slightly different, so we can't just say, "Oh, that's on the 21st of every three months" because, obviously, that's not accurate! For more information describing the color codes and abbreviations, refer to the main planet ingress page.

To adjust the times for your timezone, add or subtract the number of hours your timezone is from 0 UT. If you live in the western hemisphere (mostly the Americas) you would subtract the number of hours from the time shown on the table. Most of the eastern hemisphere will add hours to the time shown in the table.
