Matariki

Did you know that the Seven Sisters is a synonym for Matariki?  Matariki also represents the Maori New Year.
When the stars are shining brightly it indicates warm weather ahead and when the stars are dim it is going to be quite cold.
When Matariki is in the sky it is a good time to plant winter crops such as brocolli, cauliflowers, carrots, peas, potatoes and more.

It is a time to forgive and forget.
