Monkey Butt Chicken Head
What better way to start off our new Daoist Outlook newsletter than with a silly title like this. Odd as it may seem, it's legit. We're at the end of the water monkey moon and heading into a new water rooster - hense the butt head title. Get it?
The rooster is the second moon of autumn, a time of steep retreat. While the rest of the west is wrapping up summer, we're already in fall. This is an interesting time of year for a cultivator. Kids are back in school, daily commutes are crazy again, and everyone's pounding coffee and energy drinks. It feels as if the year is only ramping up, all while we should be wrapping up and winding down.
