Autumn - The Metal Element - Distillation and Meaning
6 Wednesdays - October 21 - November 25, 2026
9am - 11:30am PST, 12pm - 2:30pm EST, 18hr - 20.30hr CET
The lyrical energy of late summer is consolidated and refined in autumn in preparation for winter’s descent into the depths. Meaning is gleaned through a process of distillation. Evaluation determines what is worth keeping and what needs to be let go. Like deciduous trees in autumn, we are stripped down to that which is most essential. That essence is stored in the depths where, like a rhizome during the the dark months of winter, it will gather strength in order to emerge again in springtime in new form. Our instinctual nature and embodied soul are resonant with the Metal element. Ethics, beliefs, and spiritual practice exist here too, a conduit between the rarified and the mundane. ‘Fathering’ is of the nature of metal, as is money, and self-esteem or lack thereof. The health of the metal element is reflected physically in the lungs and large intestine.
