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.

Rabbit Moon Wanes    And just like that, the second moon drifts away. If you have ever heard the expression "Time Flys," well, now you get to live it. Here we are, only having just begun the year, and we're already at the end of Spring! This raging Fire Horse has really ramped up from a trot to a gallop, and there are no signs of slowing. So hang tight - we've still got a lot of Yang in stock...

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...
