Cold Dew — Born Hour

Cold Dew opens Xu month: dew turns colder; dry earth command after metal.

Overview

Han Lu (寒露) is the Jie at 195° opening Xu (戌). The next step after White Dew is colder dew and later frost.

Pentads: 鸿雁来宾、雀入大水为蛤、菊有黄华. Chrysanthemum viewing (赏菊) is the iconic custom.

Month Pillar You → Xu. Xu is dry earth with hidden fire and metal in classical tables.

Folk 'cold dew, put on more clothes' (寒露脚不露) is health folklore, not a chart layer.
