New Horse Moon
As we round the peak of summer it's funny to think that the Snake Year is already halfway through. If there ever was a moment to be seized, then this is it. The Horse moon is your chance to wrap things up and complete them with definitive resolve. After this phase, it'll be more about packing up and heading home for a modest meal and some humble hibernation.
As for the poetry of the moment, this moon allows for an interesting view. Of course we have horse power, which is all about velocity and drive - but a water horse is old, patient, and wise. It's about power, not force. Utilize your bones and breath and use less of your muscles and sweat. Leverage is all about position, not pressure. So yes, wrap it up, just don't force your finish. You want to be cool - like am black stalion with roller skates on. Ya dig?
