EARTH
EARTH symbolizes the late summer.
It is the shortest of the five season.
The pause betwen the element of wood and fire and the descending elements of metal and water.
It is the energy of Mother Earth.
Time of harvest.
Time to reap what we have worked for throughout the year.
The earth is good, the quality of the soil has the ability to produce food to nourish ourselves.
The shortened days and cooler weather makes this the best time of year for planting most everything.
Plants love this time of year, their leaves aren’t stressed by scorching sun. There is less demand for water from the roots and roots are in their most active phase of growth allowing for a well established root system before winter sets in.
