002. Yang Metal Tiger Moon

Feb 11, 2026

   Listen carefully. First moon of the year and everybody already running around like headless chicken. Stop it. This is Tiger Moon, not Rabbit Moon. You don’t chase during Metal Tiger. You crouch. You breathe. You watch who is making noise and who is actually moving pieces. Yang Metal is blade energy - sharp, disciplined, precise. Yang Fire Horse year wants speed, drama, big entrance. But this month? Control yourself. Bend low. Study the wind. When it’s your time to pounce, you won’t need to shout. The ground will already belong to you - your dinner is dead before it can even run.


∙ Sum of the Month ∙

⭐︎ Your Key Word: Vigilance - Soft and calm, yet capable and alert.
+ Dogs & Horses:
Save your Spoils, you'll need a lot of help this year.
- Monkeys & Rats: Just keep your head down, no need to show off.
Âą Dragons: This would be a good time to play small, like a little lizard.


   Now. Monkeys - behave. Metal Tiger has zero patience for clever tricks and side commentary. You joke at the wrong time, you get swatted. Rats, same thing - don’t over-scheme. Take it easy. Clean your corner, don’t poke the tiger’s ribs. Dragons… aiya. You are both opposed and strangely supported this moon. The clash creates friction, but friction makes fire. If you don’t know whether to move or roar, then don’t. Lay low. Power doesn’t disappear just because you’re quiet.
   Dogs and Horses, you feel the wind at your back. Especially Horses - the year is yours, of course you feel strong. But calm down. First moon only. Even a fast horse still needs stable footing. Use the boost to build foundation, not fireworks. The year is long. Tiger is watching who wastes energy and who sharpens claws. Choose wisely.
