We originally wanted a gallery where we had all taken a picture at the same time, hence synchronicity. The equinoxes and solstices were just a convenient time to choose.
It works quite nicely with the Jungian sense of 'coincidence of events that appear to be connected but are not' in that the photographs are presented in the same gallery and therefore appear to be connected, but any resemblances between them are coincidental, assuming no collusion between photographers as to the subject matter or techniques used.
