Productive and steady. Good for kai and mahi.
Te wā — the hour we are in
Te Poutū-mārō · High sun
The sun stands overhead. This is the working face of the day — Tūmatauenga's hours, for effort, decisions and confrontation.
Say the direct thing today, kindly, instead of working around it.
Set your cosmology
Your birth, your place, your iwi — so the guidance is yours.

Te rā, te āhua o te rangi
Tama-nui-te-rā sets the pace. Snared by Māui, he was made to travel slowly so people would have time enough to live well.
