What is the Time of Transition?
In folk sayings, not going out or avoiding red and white events during the time of transition all refer to this concept. This idea is very popular in folk culture and has deep roots. The reason is that the time of transition is a critical point for the exchange and transformation of the old and new great luck, or the starting point. A smooth transition often means that the luck during the next ten years (great luck) or one year (small luck) will be stable and free from major disasters. The key word here is "transition" ("交"). At this time when two great luckes begin to change, it is important to create the most harmonious, stable, and auspicious environment to ensure a smooth transition of energy and fortune. "Transition" refers to the new great luck, which is about to replace the old one and take over its duties, like a new leader taking office. The transition between the old and new also signifies the beginning of a new leader and a new situation. "A good start is half the battle," is exactly the meaning of this.Do All Metal-Born People Have the Same Time of Transition?
Ancient people summarized:Fire-born people (火命人) transition during the noon on the third day before the Grain of Breeze (清明);
Earth-born people (土命人) transition nine days after the Grain in Ear (芒种) during the Chen hour;
Metal-born people (金命人) transition at the Shen hour on the day of the Limit of Heat (处暑);
Wood-born people (木命人) transition at the Yin hour on the Great Cold (大寒);
Water-born people (水命人) transition three days before the Winter Solstice (冬至) during the Hai hour.
This only indicates the time of transition for metal-born people, but does not specify whether all metal-born people have the same time of transition. Therefore, there's no need to worry about this question.
