New Rabbit Moon
We're all familiar with the iconic white rabbit archetype, complete with it's classic line, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" Rabbits are known for running, and they don't really have a choice. Caught in between last month's tiger moon, next month's dragon moon, and all while in a snake year - it's almost as if everyone's out and hungry for rabbits. If you think about it, we've got lucky rabbit's feet - but the rest of that bunny ain't very lucky, now is it?
The thing is, we've got a Yin Earth Rabbit, these guys aren't exactly little bunnies anymore. A realized earth rabbit is strong, certain, and mature. It has run around enough to know how silly it is to be running around - a kind of "been there done that" feel. To that point, if we can hone our experience and get set on a singular mission, we may be surprised to see how simple life can be. Anyone can do anything, but no one can do everything. Sure, it might be crazy out there, but we don't have to jump in the mosh pit because everyone else is doing it. Instead, let's all do our best to utilize the tempered chi of this Yin Earth Rabbit to ease into a groove, downsize our moves, and get through this loony moon nice and smooth.
