Q: is january 14th better than january 16th
A: jan 14th has a little bit less light, in the northern hemisphere, and a little bit more light, in the southern hemisphere. that may be better or worse, depending on your preference. also those particular points in the year may resonate differently for different people, in various ways. i'm not sure if that answers your question, but if you are looking for a compromise, you could try jan 15th
