The Daoist Outlook・027

New Rabbit Moon


   We're all familiar with the iconic white rabbit archetype, complete with it's classic line, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" Rabbits are known for running, and they don't really have a choice. Caught in between last month's tiger moon, next month's dragon moon, and all while in a snake year - it's almost as if everyone's out and hungry for rabbits. If you think about it, we've got lucky rabbit's feet - but the rest of that bunny ain't very lucky, now is it?

   The thing is, we've got a Yin Earth Rabbit, these guys aren't exactly little bunnies anymore. A realized earth rabbit is strong, certain, and mature. It has run around enough to know how silly it is to be running around - a kind of "been there done that" feel. To that point, if we can hone our experience and get set on a singular mission, we may be surprised to see how simple life can be. Anyone can do anything, but no one can do everything. Sure, it might be crazy out there, but we don't have to jump in the mosh pit because everyone else is doing it. Instead, let's all do our best to utilize the tempered chi of this Yin Earth Rabbit to ease into a groove, downsize our moves, and get through this loony moon nice and smooth. 

✧ Rise of the Rabbit ✧

Stop Running: Unless you want to burn out before summer.
Start Feeling: Use those soft paw pads to find that pulse.
Clean Things: Especially all that stuff under your rugs.
Make Babies: Or just get started on a new passion project. 😅

Slow is Smooth / Smooth is Fast

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...
