The equinox is a lovely balance point. Balance between day and night. Balance between the rising in one hemisphere and the falling in another. The interplay of yin and yang showing up in all kinds of ways. As they always do.

In the previous post, we looked at the mathematics of how the year is divided into yin and yang, the four directions, and the Five Elements. If you missed it, you can review it here. In that post my illustrations were, shall we say, amateurish. However one of my students took it upon himself to create the final graphic in a more stylish way, and that is shown here. Thank you Peter! The graphic is free of copyright. Note that the seasons are from the perspective of the southern hemisphere. For the northern hemisphere, reverse the seasons.

Whether you are springing forward in the southern hemisphere, or falling back in the northern, I wish you a balanced season.
