End of Heat — Born Hour

End of Heat: folk calendars say heat 'stops' — metal air clarifies in Shen month.

Overview

Chu Shu (处暑) is Shen month's Zhong Qi at 150°. The character 处 suggests heat dwelling/ending — climate tendency, not a switch.

Pentads: 鹰乃祭鸟、天地始肃、禾乃登. Harvest festivals and '放河灯' (river lanterns) appear in some locales.

Still the same Shen month as Li Qiu. Month command does not change at a Zhong Qi.

Do not confuse calendar poetry with weather guarantees — heat can return.

Deepens 申 month.

Culture Custom

River lanterns near 中元 overlap with Chu Shu in the lunar calendar some years — two festival streams can coincide.

Three pentads: hawks offer birds; heaven and earth turn stern; grain ripens.

Classical: heat stops here.

Month command: Shen mid-point; heat retreats, metal clarifies.

Jie nodes can move the Month Pillar; Zhong Qi deepen the same month without switching branch.

End of Heat is a calendrical node and cultural festival, not a weather guarantee or personal luck verdict.
