Our logo for example has the yin and yang symbol reversed to that which most people use as usually you will see the darker section above and the lighter section below.
Looking at the diagram of the available daylight throughout the 12 months of the year we can see the movement of yin and yang energy. The darker section (black) represents the yin energy, the dark and quieter energy, the autumn and the winter seasons. The lighter section represents the yang energy, the bright and more active energy, the spring and the summer seasons. The base of the chart represents the winter solstice when the yin energy is at its strongest because the nights are longer and the available daylight shorter thus it is the darker shade is strongest here. The following day the yang energy starts to grow again as the days start to draw out and we can see the lighter shade starting. We can then follow the growth of this yang energy as we follow the chart round in a clockwise direction. At the peak of the chart we see the light area change to the darker shade again. This is the summer solstice when the yang energy reaches its climax and the longest day starts to draw in again.
This simple diagram illustrates the strength of the yin and yang energy throughout the year and confirms the illustration of yin and yang in or logo.
