What is most essential, is the least substantial.๐คฏ
Autumn (and the metal element) connect us to the value of things without attachment to their material form.โฃ
If our Metal Element is too excess, and our attitude focuses too firmly on what EGO values, we must defend and covet it no matter what the consequences to anyone or anything are, including ourselves. We can become stingy, sharp, stagnant, defensive, curt, cutting, cold, uncaring, miserly.โฃ
If our Metal Element is too deficient, and we believe nothing of value can be truly attained or held onto in life, then we become lost, depressed, ambivalent, detached. โฃ
Autumn is about inhaling (๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฑ๐ช๐ณ๐ช๐ต/๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ/๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ) and exhaling (๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฐ/๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ง/๐ฎ๐ฆ).โฃ
This dynamic can bring Perspective if we have a choice or Grief/Longing if we do not.
