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.

Waxing Metal Tiger    In many ways, this could be considered auspicious. Sure, we have a wild Fire Horse picking up pace, but we've also got a Metal Tiger for checks and balances. First off, Horses and Tigers make good business buddies, and the Metal and Fire forces are complimentary too. Think of a cast iron stove - not only is it functional, but it's classy too, and full of character. From ...

Happy New Year!    Forget about that Gregorian timeline everyone keeps raving about, in this community, we celebrate the moon! According to the mainstream, we're still in 2026 - but by our measure, we're already in the year 4724! That's nearly a 27 century long discrepency. Talk about a margain of error!    As for the poetry of the moment, chill out. You think the sky's never fallen before? ...

Earth Ox Moon Wanes    This year, Spring begins in silence. By the almanac's account, every year begins on February 4th. It's no different than any solstice or equinox, which also get locked onto the same calendar day, year after year. The only thing is, with everyone so excited about our mighty Yang Fire Horse on the way, no one really noticed the slow roll out of the new year already in blo...
