The Daoist Outlook・002

Yin Water Rooster Moon


   Water is the oldest of the five elements, it represents winter. Think of it like a huge mountain, stuck and immoble, with white, snowy peaks. See how that's like an old man, stuck and immoble, with white hair all over his face and head?
   Next, you have the influence of the rooster; a mission driven chicken with a razor sharp beak that can tie up loose ends and close out projects with poise and precision. Put these two flavors together and you get a wise old bird that wants to wrap things up and get home for dinner. The dragon year is nearly complete and winter is just one moon away. This is your time to wind down and wrap it all up.

Full Metal Rabbit Moon    Rabbits are known to be busy bodies. They're typically sweet, bubbly, and bright with an especially strong sensitive side. Those floppy ears and tender paws lend to keen connectivity and heightened intuition. That sixth sense of theres is all the more heightened amongst mystical Metal types. To that end, this would be a good time to get spiritual - how ever that look...

Waxing Metal Rabbit    We all know of the classic adage depicting the epic race between the old tortoise and the spry young hare - well, we're living it now. If you're aligned with the mainstream-machine-mind-clock-calendar-construct, then you're likely under the impression that Spring has only just begun - but that would be the rabbit in this instance. The real winner of the race is our turt...
