We are moving into Summer in the Northern Hemisphere which is Fire Element season (Heart, Small Intestine, Triple Warmer, Pericardium meridians), in a time when astrologically we are in a lot of Fire energy in the year of the Fire Horse. So I wanted to talk about the Fire Element in TCM, focusing this week on loving up on the heart and cultivating Shen.

We are kicking off the Gemini Season Nervous System journey this Monday in THIS IS THE SPACE and the Fire element is very tied to the nervous system through electricity and the ways in which trapped unprocessed emotions wreak havoc — keeping us in a state of dysregulation, illness, pain and ‘stuckness’. Perfect to be speaking about today with the Moon in Aries ;).

The Fire Element in TCM is also very tied to identity and all of the massive Aries astrology we’ve been moving through has been about the dismantling and architecture of identity. We are shedding (hopefully) victim narratives and homogenized ideas of success while reclaiming sovereignty. As we peel back layers of conditioning, more of our truth shines through and as we move through this portal — many will be claiming new identities.

We will have to… as many old definitions of selfhood will matter much less in our new world. In June Chiron will move into Taurus helping us to recalibrate self worth around this becoming.

I shared practical tips (like too much raw cold food can actually be drying) and two favorite Fire element acupressure points within the podcast (illustrated below in Substack) along with lots of ways to love up on and nourish yourself this season.

This is a perfect time in our collective astrology to practice reconnecting with joy while also supporting emotional hygiene and mental health.

Last Sunday’s WKLY Nourish includes an excerpt from a Fire element fascia flow where I share more about the season as well as some simple practices with big rewards.
