Qiufen (Autumn Equinox) again brings Yin-Yang balance — but tilting into Yin. Metal chi crests. In Saju, decision-making is sharpest here; resolve postponed choices before winter's softening sets in.
Metal (金) represents structure, refinement, and harvest. Under a Metal-dominant solar term, the chi contracts inward — pruning, clarifying, and finishing are favored. In Saju, Metal controls Wood (officer), is controlled by Fire (officer-receiver), produces Water (output), is produced by Earth (resource). Practical use: finalize contracts, close loops, edit work, sharpen skills, audit finances. Avoid impulsive new expansions; restraint pays.
