🎋🍁DOYO Term (Summer to Fall)
July 19 – August 6

The DOYO period marks a transitional phase between the seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—occurring four times a year. This particular DOYO term bridges summer and fall. It is a time to reset and replace the Earth’s energy.

In traditional wisdom, Star #5 governs the DOYO period. This star carries both destructive and regenerative energy, symbolizing endings that pave the way for new beginnings.

Key Advice for DOYO Period:

　Historically, this was seen as a time to return the soil to the universe, and   people were advised to avoid disturbing the ground. If you must work with soil, it’s recommended to wear gloves as a form of energetic protection. During this time, people, objects, and even situations may become unstable due to the shifting Earth energy.

• Avoid major decisions. Judgment may be clouded, and impulsive choices can lead to regret. It’s best to finalize plans and make large purchases before this period begins.
• Be cautious with conflict. Tensions can run high, and misunderstandings may arise. Take extra care in communication and avoid confrontations when possible.
• Appliance issues may surface. Expect minor disruptions or malfunctions in daily life.
• Refrain from starting or ending contracts. This includes marriages, engagements, store openings, or canceling agreements. If you must proceed, choose a day called MABI, when positive energy helps ease confusion.

Recommended MABI Days (when energy is softened):
July 21, July 22, July 26, August 2, August 3
