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・091
Waxing Water Snake    There was once a Snake caught in a fire. A brave man saved the Snake by pulling it from the blaze, but in the process, the Snake bit the man and killed him with poison. Perhaps we could fault the Snake, but it's only natural for it to bite. Perhaps we could fault the brave man, but he only wanted to help.     As for the poetry of the moment, be careful! If you want to s...

Yin Water Snake Moon    Wow, Snake moon - the first moon of Summer! We often talk about how a Snake is really just the tail of a Dragon, but Snakes also have a personality of their own. On good days, they're wise, intuitive, attentive, intelligent, and caring. On bad days, however, they could be down right mean, manic, and manipulative - their misconduct is literally biblical. Care for an app...

Dragon Moon Wanes    Careful now, don't let the Dragon fool you. Remember at the beginning of the moon when we told you that the Dragon was really, really big? Well, this is where it shows up - you thought the Dragon was done, but NOPE! We still have another moon to go! You thought that was a Snake moon coming next? Better look again... that's not a snake - that's the Dragon's tail!    As fo...
