秋分已过夏至未至
[qiū fēn yĭ guò xià zhì wèi zhì]
'Autumnal Equinox has passed, Summer Solstice hasn't come yet', metaphorically represents a state of being between two moments or states of affairs, neither entirely one nor the other. This reflects ambiguity and anticipation - having experienced one phase but waiting for another to begin, possibly in terms of relationships or personal growth stages.
