The Daoist Outlook・026

Feb 21, 2025

Tiger Moon Wanes


   And with that, the Yin Wood Snake Year is off to a strong start. As we wrap up this Tiger moon, it's a good time to assess how you managed all this new energy of the Spring season. Did you go out and squander it all, or have you been good about your pacing and tempo? Be careful, Rabbit moon is worse in that regard. You're going to be pulled all over the place. Just remember, your power is found in your position and poise, not in abrupt outbursts.

   This is still the time to sit back and observe. If we were to parallel the year to the length of a day, you’ve only just gotten out of bed to brush your teeth. Go ahead and slap that snooze bar. Yawn a little longer, stretch and wiggle your toes. The new year has barely begun so take your time. Pace yourself, the Rabbit moon is next, followed by the Dragon! Life is only going to ramp up from here. Wait to see how things unfold before you play your cards.

✧ The Tail-end of the Tiger ✧

Chill Out: We know you're strong, you don't need to show it.
Just Watch: 
Let everyone play their cards first, observe the board.
Hide in the Grass: Lay low, prowl, and stalk. Don't strike just yet.
Kill with One Bite: That doesn't just happen. You need to plan it.

The Daoist Outlook・104
The Monkey Moon Rises    The Monkey King was formidable even before he became an immortal. He was the "Great Sage Equal of Heaven and Earth." First, he beat up Poseiden and took his shoes, he stole the Pivot Pole that pinned the Milky Way galaxy to the Earth's axis to use as a fighting stick, before he kicked in the gates of Hell, mopped the floor with the Devil himself, and then erased his n...

Yang Fire Monkey Moon    Monkeys are full of trouble, not so much out of mischief, but more so out of boredom - especially those frisky, Fire types. These fiesty primates only like to learn the rules enough to break them. They're the best at instigating a good time. The only thing is, we should all be winding down - not riling up.    As for the poetry of the moment, contain yourself. It's of...

The Goat Moon Wanes    Here we are, the last leg of Summer - any last words? Consider this phase "Project Hail Mary," Yang's last ditch effort. This is the time to get inside! It's no longer about being wise, now it's about being human. Whodini was right, "The Freaks Come Out at Night," so curb those cravings or find yourself in the company of all the other hungry ghosts that roam around afte...
