New Goat Moon
Wow! It's the last moon of Summer. This year is flying by, but don't worry, we're still quite a ways away from Winter. This is especially true for this year as we have a Double Goat leap year. Our last leap year was just a few years back with Rabbit. These things happen every 2...
The Horse Moon Wanes
Here it is, this is the summit we've been waiting for. This is likened to that brief moment of zero-G before gravity takes over and pulls you back down to the ground. You've worked hard all through launch, and now that you're finally up in the air, why not let yourself e...
Full Horse Moon
Have you ever wondered what forever can feel like? It's almost like letting water boil - it takes longer if you watch the clock. We say all that to say this, hang in there, guys. We're almost over the hump. Just keep going. We know you're tired, we all are. We can ease up onc...
Waxing Water Horse Moon
This is the big peak. As we rapidly approach the summit of the Snake, this is where we get to pump the gas one last time to get us over the final hump. Be sure to savor that little instant of air time before G-force sets in and pulls you back down to the dark pit of...
Dragon Boat Festival
Every year, on the fifth day of the fifth moon, many Asian cultures honor the Dragon Boat Festival. It's attributed to a nobel Prime Minister, Qu Yuan, from over 2000 years ago. According to legend, he drowned himself out of political protest, and all the people rushed ...
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 mo...
Double Snake Moon Wanes
The days are slow but the years are fast; can you believe that it's already Summer?! Relative to your position on this planet, you may not even notice the heat, but a lap around the sun is a lap around the sun. If you feel like the seasons are lagging, try to relate...
Full Double-Snake Moon
Back in the days of young Confucius, before he made a name for himself as a civil philosopher, he traveled all over China on a campaign to unify the lands. This was not an easy task. Imagine all the different ethnic minorities, all the different languages and dialects...
The Snake's Squeeze
Snakes are creative killers. We all know that they bite, some even use their venom! The scary ones, however, squeeze and suffocate. Try to keep this in mind as the season begins to heat up and tensions get tight. You don't want to get choked out by the stress of a Double...
New Snake Moon
We've got ourselves a very special double Snake flavor to explore. With a Yin Wood Snake year coupled with a Yin Metal Snake moon, it's as if we've got our own little ouroboros. The mirror nature of this moon combined with the constant conflict of metal and wood creates just e...
Dragon Moon Wanes
This is it, the last bit of Spring. Can you believe that we're already starting Summer? As quickly as we breezed through Winter and Spring, the Summer might feel a little long this time around. We've got ourselves a double-goat leap-year which is going to translate as an ex...
Full Dragon Moon
Admittedly, this moon is far less emotional than the previous one, but the charge is certainly stronger. Nature is in full bloom and the year is beginning to ramp up. There's a lot of potential to manage right now. How are you with containment? Can you keep it all under wrap...
