Last Two Weeks of Autumn

   Here we are at the full yang wood dog moon. We're now down to the last two weeks before the winter chill creeps in. If you asked Ole' Greg, autumn has only just begun. Lady Luna, on the other hand, already has her scarves and sweaters out. Better lap up the last of those pumpkin spice lattés, we're moving on to peppermint, pine cone, and chestnut season. 

   Now, before we jump ahead of ourselves, we still need to finish fall. This week, we honor Cai Shen, the money god! This diety's a funny one. Sure, he's honored for money and wealth, but really, he represents value. Asians don't brag about the money they have as much as they brag about all of the money they save. Right? With that in mind, don't strive to be rich, strive to be efficient, effective, and essential - that way, you'll always have enough.
