The Daoist Outlook・043

Jun 20, 2025

The Horse Moon Wanes


   Here it is, this is the summit we've been waiting for. This is likened to that brief moment of zero-G before gravity takes over and pulls you back down to the ground. You've worked hard all through launch, and now that you're finally up in the air, why not let yourself enjoy the view for a second?

   As for the poetry of the moment, this is your chance to consider your time and tempo. The year's Yang is officially finished, any drive to push beyond this point is the natural result of cultural conditioning. Let yourself rest now. While the rest of the West is starting to ramp up their Summer madness, us lunar lovers are already looking for the return flight home. Don't get caught up in the melee of modern living. Hot Summers make for long, cold Winters. It's only natural. The higher the peak the deeper the pit.  

✧ How to Celebrate the Solstice ✧

Throw a Party: Enjoy yourself. You've earned it!
Get Festive: Spend time with friends and family!
Share the Fun: Invite your neighbors to the party!
Get to Bed: Work hard, play hard, sleep deep.

Summer in the City

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...
