11/07/2025

Today is 立冬 Lìdōng literally translated as the ‘start of winter’ and is the first of the six seasonal phases that constitute the season of winter.
We are at the three-quarter point in the annual cycle. There is a feeling we are in the ‘home-stretch’ and we may feel a renewal of energy to see us through to the finish line. Use this energy wisely and be aware not to overdo it.
Winter is the final phase of the annual cycle and it is useful to compare the ‘feeling’ of the cycles to the one we know best, our life cycle. If we think about the final phase in relation to our life, we think old age and wisdom. Winter embodies these attributes as the oldest and wisest part of the year.
Over the next three months, reflect on your experiences this year to develop insights, and use those insights to guide yourself and others towards higher potential.
Lìdōng begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 225° (middle Scorpio) - November 7 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 240° (start Sagittarius) - November 22.

Today is 霜降 Shuāngjiàng literally translated as ‘frost descent’ is the 18th solar term. The last solar term of autumn marks a sharp drop in temperature and the end of the golden harvest season. This is the time to enjoy Mother Nature's final burst of color before the Yang submits to the rising Yin of winter. Moisture condenses on tree leaves and branches or on the ground forming frost, hence the name shuang jiang, or frost's descent.’
The end of autumn is also a season of change, where dryness and cold become the main environmental elements. Imbalance and illness are prone to surfacing at this time – particularly in the metal element – Lung and Large Intestine. It's best to dress so that the body skin is completely covered (particularly feet and lower body warm), stay out of the strong wind and eat all cooked foods, especially root vegetables, winter squash, barley, rice, and spices like garlic, ginger and black pepper, which may help to support Lung functions and alleviate dampness. Cooked apples and pears can be a wonderful seasonal relief for dry throats and cough.
Frost descent begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 210° (start Scorpio) - October 23 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 225° (middle Scorpio) - November 7.

The Three Pentads (5-day pentads within this 15 day solar term):

Today is 秋分 Qiūfēn literally translated as ‘autumn equinox’ is the 16th solar term and one of two points in the annual cycle where the celestial plane intersects the equatorial plane.
At the equinox, the opposing forces of Yin and Yang come into balance as the length of day and the length of night become equal. When two opposing forces are in harmony, peace and beauty are manifest and this beauty of nature inspires us. Communicate with the self and others in the most beautiful and gentle way.
Keep an eye out for beautiful sunsets at this time of the year!
Take a moment to ponder the meaning in your life and the life you choose to live.
The equinox occurs when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 180° (start Libra) - September 23 - and ends when it reaches the longitude of 195° (middle Libra) - October 8.

Today is 處暑 Chǔshǔ literally translated as ‘limit of heat’ is the 14th solar term and the signs of autumn start to become obvious. Days are still warm but at sunrise and sunset, you will notice a distinct coolness in the air.
It is the second term in the autumn period and the descending yang Qi in the northern hemisphere more obviously affects us both outwardly in the environment and inwardly in our attitude. Emotionally, the season is transitioning to be a time of contemplation and reflection. Physically, a time to be cautious of the Earth Phase – digestive conditions.
It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 150° (Start Virgo) - August 23 - and ends when it reaches the longitude of 165° (Middle Virgo) - September 7.

Today is 立秋 Lìqiū literally translated as the ‘start of autumn”’ is the 13th solar term. Liqiu is the first of six phases that make the autumn season in East Asian cultures.
Over the next three months, the lush greenery of summer will gradually begin to fade. The temperature will drop and moisture will be squeezed out of the atmosphere. As the yang retreats cooling and drying the air, the land becomes more arid and the colors of autumn appear.
On an emotional level it is time to become more practical and less idealistic.
The quality associated with the midway point of all cycles, in this case the annual, is self-assurance born out of clear vision. This is the appropriate time of the year to reflect on the changes you will need to make over the next few months to realign with more purposeful and achievable goals.
Liqiu begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 135° (Mid-Leo) - August 7 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 150° (Start Virgo) August 23.

Today is 大暑 Dàshǔ literally translated as ‘major heat’ is the 12th solar term, the final phase of summer. This is the hottest time of the year, where the sun shows us its true power. Summer is the season of the Heart, linked to the emotions of love and joy. As the heat in the summer peaks, these emotions are peaking and it is an ideal time to express your love. And the warning at this time of year is to be cautious of over-doing things in the mind, which can easily create corrupted Heart energy in the form of anxiety and agitation.
Major heat begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 120° (start Leo) - July 23 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 135° (middle Leo) - August 7.
