Winter Solstice: December 21 (or 22)
Summer Solstice: June 21 (or 22)
Spring Equinox/Vernal: March 20 (or 21)
Autumn/Autumnal Equinox: September 22 (or 23)
The days vary depending on the year. One year is approx. 365.25 days, hence a leap year. (.25 times 4= 1, so we add an extra day every 4 years, otherwise the calender would become messed up over time) So, because of that day, the equinoxes and solstices vary.
