End of Heat
As oppressive heat recedes, neglected details become easier to spot. Reopen one delayed contract, account, or draft and take it through a complete accuracy check.
In detail
End of Heat begins when the Sun reaches 150 degrees of apparent ecliptic longitude, the measured seasonal position, and lasts until White Dew. It is a midterm, so it does not switch the BaZi month pillar. The term treats heat as beginning to stop, shifting interpretation from enduring oppressive conditions to restoring order and catching deferred details. The Collected Explanations of the Seventy-Two Seasonal Manifestations supports this reading through its explanation of heat ending here. Start of Autumn announces the seasonal turn; End of Heat describes the heat's actual retreat.
FAQ
- How is End of Heat different from Start of Autumn?
- Start of Autumn marks the seasonal turn first, while End of Heat describes the oppressive warmth beginning to withdraw in practice. The distinction changes the emphasis from selecting what continues to restoring delayed detail work, so reviews and corrections fit the latter period better.
- Does End of Heat change the BaZi month pillar?
- No. End of Heat is a midterm rather than a sectional term, so it changes the seasonal context without opening a new month pillar. To verify the pillar for this interval, refer back to the exact Start of Autumn boundary.
