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.

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.

Today is 小暑 Xiǎoshǔ literally translated as “minor heat" is the 11th solar term. Following the summer solstice, the yin shadow now begins to grow. The hottest time of the year is approaching!
We align with nature by adapting our diet and eating cooling foods like tropical fruits, yogurt, and drinking peppermint tea. Less strenuous outdoor activity, midday rest and lazing around in the shade early afternoon are encouraged.
Psychologically, we become more introspective, attuning to our inner feelings, and rekindling the imagination. Allow yourself to daydream for just a few minutes every day. Any compelling images and feelings that arise at this time bring awareness to practical matters that will require additional contemplation over the next six months.
Minor Heat begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 105° (Middle Cancer) - July 7 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 120° (start Leo) - July 22.
The Three Pentads (5-day pentads within this 15 day solar term):
1. ‘Hot winds arrive’
2. ‘Crickets into walls’
3. ‘Hawk studies and learns’

Today is 小满 Xiǎomǎn literally translated as ‘grain-full’ is the 8th solar term. The blazing sun of summer combines with rain to create an environment of heat and humidity.
‘Grain full’ is associated with ample rain, hence, the flat stem of rice gradually fills out, then the rice ripens according to location. Local differences are reflected in differing sayings:
“The rice stem fills out during Qingming (Apr 5), and the ear of rice buds in Guyu (Apr 20).” “Rice stem fills out during Xiaoman (May 21) and the ear of rice forms in Mangzhong (Jun 6).”
The key is to use the solar-nodes within your local area to describe natural phenomena, which reinforces our relationship with nature.
Grain Full is a time for growth but remember to relax and share a laugh with your friends/family/colleagues. It’s a good time to reflect on your youthful self, identifying those traits in others while understanding & appreciating how it serves as an essential developmental function toward maturity, or ‘ripeness’.
Grain-full begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 60° (start Gemini) - May 21 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 75° (middle Gemini) - June 5.

Today is 谷雨 Gǔyù, literally translated as ‘Grain Rain’, is the 6th and final term of spring. The northern hemisphere temperatures rise dramatically during this period, bringing increasing amounts of moisture and rainfall. As the old saying goes,
‘It becomes cloudy when Grain Rain starts and it rains when summer begins’. ‘If you walk barefoot before Grain Rain the ground still feels cold. After Grain Rain, the ground feels comfortable without footwear.’
This rain is crucial for the earth and the harvest for humans. The spring rain is considered as precious as oil. Traditionally, the emperor’s role is to create an environment for harmony in the people and society. Then, as the leader and representative, he must submit himself with an authentic heart at the alter ceremonies. This is a ceremony to create harmony between humans and nature, and then nature will reward humans with harmony of seasons and weather. The ‘grain rains’ should arrive in this period. If the rain does not come, this reflects poorly on the emperor, and his leadership is in question.
It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 30° (Ta**us) - April 20 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 45° - May 5.

As the name suggests, this is the time of year when the sky is an incredible bright blue. Look outside at the blue sky, buds on trees, birds chirping and gliding on the crisp breeze. This springtime image captures the essence of Clear & Bright. Look at the budding trees, the playful birds… we are also part of nature. The Qi is rising from the earth, and the interior of our beings, at frantic pace. Align yourself with the natural order by expressing your own vitality in clear and bright ways. Ride the Qi and look out for rainbows in the coming weeks!

Today is 春分 Chūnfēn, literally translated as ‘Vernal Equinox’ is the 4th solar term. This is one of two points in the annual cycle where the celestial plane intersects the equatorial plane – significant astronomical event.
If we imagine the yearly cycle as one full day – the winter solstice is midnight and the vernal equinox is sunrise when the yang is rising. The theme at this time of year is like that of sunrise, natural excitement for new possibilities and great potential. We have an opportunity right now to swing with the seasonal pendulum, use our natural energy to initiate actions that can bring your annual visions into reality.
