New Snake Moon
We've got ourselves a very special double Snake flavor to explore. With a Yin Wood Snake year coupled with a Yin Metal Snake moon, it's as if we've got our own little ouroboros. The mirror nature of this moon combined with the constant conflict of metal and wood creates just enough friction to start a fire. So grab a water bottle, this is going to be a long, hot summer.
The poetry here is one of self reflection and personal accountability. This moon, take a moment to tame your victim complex. There's no power in the blame game. Stop finding fault in factors beyond your control. Instead, allow yourself to take radical responsibility for all your funks. If some one or some thing has the power to crush you, then you'll need some one or some thing to save you too. But, if you're able to own up to your shortcomings and hold yourself accountable, then maybe you can muster the power to resolve your fate and unlock your destiny. Might as well try, the stars are ripe for it.
If all that feels too heavy to tackle, at the very least tend to your personal needs - namely your health. We've got ourselves an extra moon of summer lined up this year so we all need to make sure we are thoroughly nourished and properly hydrated for the ride. With good nutrition, good exercise, good rest, and a good attitude, we'll be all set for a great Summer!
