AUTUMN - March/April/May
|
As we ease out of Summer and head towards the cooler months, the leaves begin to change colour, creating quite a beautiful landscape before they eventually falling to ground and wither. This is Autumn.
According to Chinese Medicine, Autumn time corresponds to the Lungs. This is a time of dryness. We can see this in the environment with dry leaves and plants. Physically our body shows dryness through our skin, hair, nose and throat. We might find that we can develop coughs or colds that start at the throat or nose. and it can also be a pronounced time for asthma and wheezing. As our lungs are also responsible for our skin health we may have conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea and eczema that may become more prevalent during this time. Food therapy, acupuncture and herbal medicine may be of benefit. For further enquiries or additional information, please refer to the Contact page. |

LUNAR NEW YEAR - Year of the Fire Horse
The Lunar New Year in 2026 welcomes the Year of the Horse, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, this is a time for cultural traditions, family reunions, and hopes for good fortune in the coming year.
In 2026, Lunar New Year falls on February 17th, kicking off the 16-day Spring Festival (based on Northern Hemisphere seasons).
As we leave behind the cautious, introspective and intuitive Year of the Snake, the Year of the Horse gallops in with vibrant and fiery energy, symbolizing adventure, vitality, enthusiasm and momentum, bringing a year focused on bold moves and exploration.
The last few months can feel as if we've been stuck in old emotional patterns with hurts and worries feeling like they are re-emerging from the past.
Take comfort in knowing this is part of the transition from Snake year to Horse year, from letting go of what no longer serves us to moving forward with new ideas, new innovations and a new outlook both in your personal and professional life.
Also in numerology we've moved from a 9 year (2025) to a 1 year (2026), with 9 being the completion of a cycle and 1 being the start of a new cycle.
A 9 year (obtained by adding the individual numbers together - 2+0+2+5) represents resolving anything left unfinished and letting go of what doesn't resonate with you anymore. This can be a time of emotional upheaval as we have familiarity with what we know and sometimes moving in a new direction or letting go of the familiar can stir up feelings of fear or anger as we move into new unfamiliar territory.
A 1 year can signify leadership, self-expression, independence and creativity, which along with the Fire Horse can be a great time for beginning a new project, or moving in a new direction.
