The Daoist Outlook・028

Mar 07, 2025

Lucky Rabbit's Feet


   The waxing rabbit moon is a time of hyper sensitivity, and all the more so in a snake year. These two animals are considered the most mystical of the twelve, so the veil may wear thin while the two of them are together. 
   Have you been feeling it? There's a bit of tension in the air. It's almost as if there's some underlying threat looming in the dark. If your sixth senses are tingling, that's because yin is still the big force here. Yang has barely begun its rise. Juggling any uncertainties? This is the time to get educated, not the time to act. Perhaps it would be best to sit this moon out to let the fog clear before you make any big decisions.

   Yin Earth Rabbits have big floppy ears. Use them to listen for the meaning behind the message. They also have soft, gummy paw pads on the bottoms of their long, fluffy feet. Use them to get a feel for the pulse of a persistent problem or behavior pattern. Learn to utilize all of your heightened senses to get a better perspective on situations before you start biting and kicking everyone around you. If you can navigate the pits of this moon cycle right, you'll have a long line of familiars wanting to hug and cuddle you. That's way better than running from hole to hole in fear for your life, right?

✧ Play it Safe ✧

Mind your Manners: Keep your side of the street clean.
Brush it Off: Don't take anything personally. Anything!
Smile More: Especially while you're being idle.
It's All a Big Show: Sit back and watch it like a sitcom.

Silly Rabbit, Tricks are for Kids

The Horse Moon Wanes    Have you ever noticed that some horses wear blinders? They're these tiny little flaps of black leather that block off the sides of a horses eyes to shield their periferal vision. They're common amongst service horses and calvary. It keeps them focused and it prevents them from getting overly stimulated.    As for the poetry of the moment, take some time to reflect on ...

Full Wood Horse Moon    BOOM! If only we could start this edition off with a sound effect, or better yet, a theme song. This is the peak of Mount Everest - the highest point of the year. We've made it. You can pat yourself on the back. Great job! Now we get to watch the mushroom cloud and steer clear of the fall out.     As for the poetry of the moment, go ahead, take a breather. With the wo...

Waxing Wood Horse Moon   It's Summer Solstice season, the absolute peak of our annual solar cycle - you doing okay? Whether you're Kid Icarus or Tony Montana from Scarface, the story remains the same, "Careful not to fly too high." You'd be better off floating and coasting at a steady cruising altitude for the rest of this phase.    As for the poetry of the moment, don't over extend yourself...
