  Refs:
境 can be a point in time, rather than a physical boundary.
Kojien, Genius and Shogakukan all have this as a separate sense, which they define as 分かれ目.
Examples:
- この戦争を境に、東京と大阪の錦絵新聞はほぼ廃刊。
- 最近、恋人の早苗に対してどことなく冷めている浩太郎は、2012年の文化の日を境に、突然時間を逆走し始める。
Lately, for no particular reason, Kotaro had been losing interest in his girlfriend Sanae. Then, on Culture Day in 2012, time started to run backwards. 
- 妻の死を境にして彼の人生観は大きく変わった。
His view of life changed completely after his wife's death.
