The golden season of late summer as regarded in Chinese 5 element cosmology, is the point in the progression of the seasons when nature itself is abundantly imbued in thickness, weight, and is in the culminating stage of growth and fruition that makes way for harvest. Late summer is considered to be the fifth season and has its elemental correspondence within the earth element, axis of the five elements. Earth secures the human microcosm with the virtues of integrity, trust, loyalty, empathy, reciprocity and is also the seat of intellect.

The capacity for thought and contemplation supports our life’s momentum by integrating, enriching, and providing the ripeness to nourish our destiny.
