006. Yin Water Snake Moon

May 11, 2026

   Alright… now we enter Summer. Fire on top of fire. The Yang Fire Horse year was already hot - now Snake Moon arrives and turns up the flame. Lucky for you, this is a Water Snake, otherwise we’d all be running around like overcooked dumplings. Still… don’t get comfortable. Heat brings chaos - fast movement, short tempers, impulsive decisions. The question this month is simple: can you keep your cool in the chaos? If not, you will burn yourself before anyone else does.


∙ Sum of the Month ∙ 

⭐︎ Your Key Word: Chill. Emotional regulation will be your saving grace.
+ Oxen & Roosters:
Don't squander your spoils. Abundance can dry up.
- Pigs: Surround yourself with support this month. You can use the help.
Âą Rabbits & Goats: You don't have to do everything. Learn to prioritize.
May 17th - June 14th


   This is not a month to outwork the fire - you won’t win. You have to regulate it. Slow your breath. Watch your reactions. This would be a good time to pray… and better yet, meditate. Go inward while the world gets louder. The Snake survives by sensing, not by forcing. If you try to match the intensity around you, you’ll exhaust yourself. If you stay cool, you become untouchable.
   Pigs… be careful out there. This heat can overwhelm you quickly - don't overextend. Rabbits and Goats, you may feel scattered or pressured - resist the urge to busy yourself just to cope. Be okay with some things being left undone. Roosters and Oxen, you get a boost here - some clarity, some light, some traction - but don’t get frivolous. In this much Yang, abundance can dry up just as fast as it appears. What you gain, you must manage.

010. Yin Fire Rooster Moon
   The heat is changing. Summer's wild fire is beginning to settle, but don't mistake that for a weakness. Yin Fire Rooster is like the final polishing of a katana blade before it's put away for Winter. This month isn't about making big moves or stealing the spotlight. It's about refinement. Look carefully. Tighten loose ends. Finish what you've started. Humility and modesty will carry you muc...
009. Yang Fire Monkey Moon
   The seasons are turning. Autumn is here, but don't think the heat is gone yet. We are moving from Goat to Monkey, from collective momentum to a creative stop. The problem is that many people are still carrying the habits of Summer. They've been running hard all year, pushing, chasing, building, expanding. Monkey Moon arrives with an important lesson: pump on those brakes. If you want to hav...
008. Yin Wood Goat Moon
   Summer is beginning to soften. The wild galloping energy of Horse Moon starts to give way to something slower, gentler, and more reflective. Don't mistake that for weakness. Yin Wood Goat energy is subtle, but powerful. While Horse charges forward, Goat pauses to consider whether the path is worth taking at all. After months of fire, movement, and momentum, this moon asks a simple question:...
