What I mean is the use of available light in the days where there was no electricity and the symbolism involved to construct Gothic and Neo Gothic Churches.
Granted the Vernal Equinox changes a little but the light still follows a given direction at or around that time.
The other sides of a half Dodecagon will direct sun shine to the alter area in most all seasons.
This is no longer needed with electricity but back in the day? Many things were constructed to use natural light and symbolisms seem to have evolved from this.

Many places have been proven to have been built to follow the natural sun light for various reasons.
When to plant crops, tell time, and so on.

All of them seem to have developed a symbolism and even a belief system of some type.
