A solar term is a period of about two weeks, based on the sun’s position in the zodiac. Solar terms form the traditional Chinese calendar system. The calendar follows the ancient Chinese belief that living in accordance with nature will enable one to live a harmonious life. This article series explores each solar term, offering guidance on how to best navigate the season.
Frost (Oct 23 to Nov 6) is the last solar term of Autumn, and in the northern hemisphere, the first frost of the season is quickly approaching, if it hasn’t already occurred. In the natural realm, it is the last period of time for things to grow or develop before the weather and living conditions get too difficult.
