The Daoist Outlook・027

Feb 28, 2025

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

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...
