The phenomenon of individuals associating themselves with particular seasons spring, summer, autumn, or winter involves a sense of deep connection and resonance with the characteristics and symbolism typically attributed to that time of year. This identification often extends beyond a simple preference, encompassing perceived alignment with seasonal attributes such as energy levels, emotional disposition, aesthetic preferences, and even life stages. For example, someone identifying as ‘spring’ might feel most energized during springtime, relate to themes of rebirth and growth, and favor vibrant colors and fresh starts.
This form of self-identification can offer individuals a framework for understanding their personal rhythms and tendencies. By aligning with a season, individuals may gain a stronger sense of self-awareness and acceptance. Furthermore, it can influence creative expression, personal style, and even lifestyle choices, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. While the practice is relatively recent in its explicit articulation, the underlying human tendency to draw parallels between the natural world and personal experience has historical roots in various cultures and belief systems that associate different times of year with distinct qualities and energies.
