According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, each season is related to an emotion and an organ. For instance, spring is related to anger, which is related to the liver. That doesn’t mean you can’t be angry in the winter or fall, but you may be more likely to have an angry outburst in the spring if your liver is off balance. Spring is a season of growth, dandelions and tulips bursting out of the wet soil, dying to be expressed after long months of cold and snow. People also tend to hibernate in the winter, especially before modern civilization. So when spring arrives, we come bouncing out and unearth ourselves and sometimes, when the liver is out of balance, we can feel angry, resentful, impatient, frustrated, negative, or impulsive. When these emotions aren’t expressed but repressed, we can feel depressed.
