The Daoist Outlook・050

Full Double Goat Moon


   Welcome to the last full moon of Summer. Yang rarely goes out without a bang, but what goes up must come down. Even if you have some gas left in the tank, it might only be just enough to get home. Let's not get distracted just because we've caught hold of a second wind. 

   As for the poetry of the moment, mind your motivations. Allow yourself to challenge the core of your cravings. What have you got to prove? This isn't the time for friction, this is when you should be enjoying your stroll into the sunset. Whether martial or medicinal, the best fights are the ones we avoid. This phase, the winner will be the one that can bite their own tongue.

✧ Final Full Moon of Summer ✧
Clock Out: You're done already. Let's go.
Go Home: Don't get trapped up in tangents.
Settle In: You'll need some energy for this too.
Go to Bed: Let's not borrow life from tomorrow.
Start Again: Mornings begin the night before.

Steady Now

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...
The Daoist Outlook・083
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...
