On Episode 7: Claire Wigglesworth, acupuncturist and dear friend, returns to discuss the transition into the Fall or Autumn Season (Metal Season) from the perspective of Chinese Medicine and the 5 Elements. This is part 4 of a 5-part series where we compare the similarities between Astrology and Acupuncture. Claire shares the wisdom of how this season shows up in our minds, bodies and spirits, as well as tips for how to work with this energy. Justin brings in various astrological and elemental ideas to compare with the 5 element perspective.
Topics discussed:
- The Sheng cycle and the 5 Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
- The beauty of witnessing slow changes within the fall season
- Allowing our energy to shift from yang to yin & gathering resources for the Winter/Water season
- The dynamic relationship between yin and yang; and how it’s not a binary, but rather relates to the expansiveness and the interconnectedness of all sides of the binary
- The Lung and Large Intestine channels and their relation to Metal element - organs that help us filter our outer-world experience and distill down what we need to keep & release what’s not ours
- Trees as the Lungs of the Earth and anchors of yin energy. Deforestation as a yin deficiency in the Earth’s lungs.
- Living in a society that doesn’t value grief, and ignores or resists death.
- Tips for maintaining health in the colder months: protecting your inner heat, protecting from outside invaders
- Comparing Libra and Scorpio archetypes to what the Metal element represents, as well as the remaining astrology of 2022.
- & much more!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
