Matariki

Matariki is the Maori name for a cluster of stars in the night sky. In 2019 from the 25th of June to 28th, the cluster of stars will appear in the dawn sky. The stars signal to the start of the Maori new year.

Matariki is a cluster of stars. There is 9 stars that shine the most and those are the 9 sisters.
Matariki: Gathering of people and Whanau. Reflection and the environment.
Pohutukawa: People who have passed on.
Waiti: Fresh water, and food that lives in it, wai- water
Waita: sea water, and food that lives in it, wai-water
Waipuna-a-rangi: Precipitation, water in the sky. rain falling from the scared sky.
Tupuanuku: Food growing on papatunuku.
Tupuarangi: food growing in the ngahere, up in the trees.
Ururangi: wind
Hiwa-i-te-Rangi: whishing, dreaming star. Hopes and aspirations
Each star holds a certain significance over our wellbeing and environment, as seen from the Māori view of the world.

I think Matariki is a special time because it is a 1 time a year thing and it indicates a new year.
