Summer is Yang Fire Element - Radiant Season of Fire & Connection Summer is the season of Fire (火, Huǒ)—a time of expansion, joy, and the vibrant dance of Yang energy. In Chinese medicine, the Heart (心, Xīn) rules summer, as an organ and as the sovereign of spirit, housing Shen (神), the luminous essence of consciousness. Yang is the radiant, active force of summer—fire, joy, and full bloom. But like the sun, it must be balanced to avoid burnout. When the Heart is at peace, we flourish like a sunlit garden: open, joyful, and deeply connected. 
The Heart is the “Supreme Controller” with rhythms echoing the sun’s zenith, urging us to shine brightly but avoid burning out. Just as fire needs balance (too much scatters Shen, too little dims joy), summer teaches us the art of harmony in warmth.
