The Full Rooster Moon


   The full Rooster moon of any Snake year feels like a concentrated chicken bouillon bomb. Hens make great closers - especially if paired with a snake. They cross all of the T's and dot all of the I's. Attention to the details makes your poultry pal the perfect partner in crime. Sure, you could do everything yourself - and get your feathers ruffled up while you're at it. In these cases, it's better to just ask your friends for help.

   As for the poetry of the moment, don't "cluck" it up! Roosters are prone to pride - which also makes them prone to falls. Thing is, the bigger your chest puffs up the bigger your blind spots become. So don't be so full of yourself. For the rest of this phase, let vulnerability be your super power. 
   To make this make sense, share the road. Delegate your tasks and lighten your load. Help others and let others help you. Cross the finish line together. If you're shooting solo, it's only a matter of time before your head gets cut off - and then nothing gets done. The risk isn't worth the reward.

Fire Pig Moon Wanes    Here we are at the curly-tail end of our Yin Fire Pig Moon. The solstice is nearly upon us and we're quickly encroaching upon the deepest pit of Yin for the year - but don't worry - it'll fly right by and should be over before it even begins. Once this phase comes to pass, Yang will be on the rise yet again... and so the world goes - as it always has/always will.    As...

A Full Fire Pig Moon    Last week we leaned in on the internal transformative power of a pig, but did you know that it has an external transformative capacity too? It's true! If you plucked a feral boar from the wild - tusks, hair, and all - and threw it in a pen, within 3-6 mo. it'd look no different from all the other porky pigs. In the same way, if you take an heirloom, blue ribbon pigle...

The Waxing Fire Pig    Did you know that pigs could live under an outhouse and thrive? They can literally eat nothing but food scraps and feces and still be perfectly content. The other animal that could do that is the goat; but if a goat eats garbage, it will taste like garbage - both the meat and the milk. Not a pig though. It has the ability to metabolize the mess and still be delicious....
