Ripening — The Heavy Fruit
Fruit hangs heavy on the branch as daylight starts to shorten. As a stage in your chart or in the turning year, it tends towards stabilisation: a good window for harvesting, closing deals and weighing what to keep.

The classic side · 地支 Earthly Branch
未 Wei · The Goat
未 is hot, dry earth in the dog days — ripe fields (己) still warm with summer’s fire (丁), holding the roots of Wood (乙) as the tomb and treasury of Wood (木庫). Gentle, artistic, caring and quietly stubborn; it gives generously and remembers everything.
The spirit animal: A pale gold ram with great curled horns on sun-baked hills at dusk.
