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.
