Many seasonal conditions ranging from seasonal affected disorder [SAD], to winter holiday stress, summer malaise, bipolar mood cycles, and perhaps other heretofore unaccounted for recurrent seasonal phenomena, have faulty or flawed current explanations for their relationship to the solar year. A number of disciplines openly acknowledge that the mechanism for seasonality is not well understood.

As of yet this area of chronobiology has not as been thoroughly studied. But it is entirely possible that the change in proximity to the Sun is a perceptible feeling, and even exagerated within certain populations.

What’s more, these internal ‘bio-rhythms’ are furthermore evidenced throughout human history. The timing of certain modern celebrations of traditional seasonal holidays, demonstrates further evidence of a connection between perihelion effect and the internal human alchemy. Holidays are clues as to ancient methods of paying homage to the source of holiday rituals and legends since ancient times. By a deconstruction of the pattern of holiday celebrations another deeper understanding of the seasonal cycle is demonstrated.
