Solar Term: limit of heat (處暑 )


The limit of the heat is the second solar term of autumn. temperatures in Taiwan will remain hot, unlike what autumn should be like, thus people call this weather the「秋老虎」 "autumn tiger."
This is the season when typhoons are most common. 「六月颶,七月風颱母」The power of the typhoons can be very strong, therefore remember to pay attention to the weather report! 

Solar terms are a perfect time for meditation. Remember to find some time for yourself and meditate during this solar term!

Solar Term: start of autumn(立秋)


This solar term is as it's name, implying the start of autumn and cooler weather. The worst summer is over, and the cool autumn days have arrived. Although Taiwan belongs to the sub-tropical weathers, it really the weather remains relatively hot. The weather will noticeably start to cool down in two more months.  
If you stroll into the mountain you will find Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva ) with beautiful scenery to enjoy! 
  
Before you plan your trip, remember to grasp this opportunity for a longer meditation sit! Solar terms are when the energy is stronger, as energy between the earth and heavens are exchanges on this day.
