This weekend, fri - sun is Oxboy Maiden Void. Now, it’s happening in what might be the best qi conditions of the year, but higher yang is still an issue that must be managed and everyone has their own habits of mind and blindspots.
The main thing is for saturday and sunday, very yin days, to be as tranquilo as possible. Glide and stumble in a light hearted way, keep your qi in your channels and the mind inside the body. Do not over exert as this time of high fire year/season can bring up injuries and toxins to purge. If u get sick or injured, take it as a sign to ritually purify and exorcise. But again, not overly aggressively.
Friday was the most yang day of the 3, so hopefully you got all your chores done. If not, let go for a bit, or, be very forgiving with yourself this weekend whilst not being complacent or indulgent.
Very Yin days where no forward progression can/should be forced, and when fire is on the rise (peaking at summer solstice but then radiating out in decline towards Autumn Equinox), can be like a quiet retreat in the woods. Stay cozy, light a safe fire, dont drink alcohol, maybe fast or eat very simply, gaze at the night sky.
This coincides with ritual purification for offerings to ancestors in ancient china by emperors and heads of clans/families.
Hygiene hygiene hygiene!
When you look back, you always only have your own conduct and ignorance to blame. Toxic positivity is the same as toxic nihilism. We all have our imbalances and just learn to work with them with foresight rather than only hindsight.
Eating cold foods, or excessively damp, greasy foods, not sleeping early enough, is how you add burden to your system and then crash, get sick, etc.
You can enjoy yourself, unless your idea of enjoyment is the binge purge cycle.
Know when enough is enough and how to feel satisfied!
Can you use fire intelligently or will you complain about being burned out?
beautifully put, thank you
