The real year doesn’t begin in January, it begins in March.

Nature sets the timeline, not the calendar: with the spring equinox, light overtakes darkness and biological cycles restart.

In ancient Rome, the year began in March, a month tied to action and renewal, and even the names of the months still reflect that original order.

January is an administrative agreement.

March is a real reset.

This claim is partially true but oversimplified. The ancient Roman calendar originally began in March, and many ancient cultures marked the spring equinox as a time of renewal. However, the modern calendar—introduced by Julius Caesar and later reformed by Pope Gregory XIII—officially starts in January. While March aligns with natural cycles, January is the administrative start of the year due to historical reforms.

You can verify this by checking the history of the Julian and Gregorian calendars on Wikipedia or reputable history sites.
