The Daoist Outlook・059

The Full Rooster Moon


   The full Rooster moon of any Snake year feels like a concentrated chicken bouillon bomb. Hens make great closers - especially if paired with a snake. They cross all of the T's and dot all of the I's. Attention to the details makes your poultry pal the perfect partner in crime. Sure, you could do everything yourself - and get your feathers ruffled up while you're at it. In these cases, it's better to just ask your friends for help.

   As for the poetry of the moment, don't "cluck" it up! Roosters are prone to pride - which also makes them prone to falls. Thing is, the bigger your chest puffs up the bigger your blind spots become. So don't be so full of yourself. For the rest of this phase, let vulnerability be your super power. 
   To make this make sense, share the road. Delegate your tasks and lighten your load. Help others and let others help you. Cross the finish line together. If you're shooting solo, it's only a matter of time before your head gets cut off - and then nothing gets done. The risk isn't worth the reward.

Waxing Metal Tiger    In many ways, this could be considered auspicious. Sure, we have a wild Fire Horse picking up pace, but we've also got a Metal Tiger for checks and balances. First off, Horses and Tigers make good business buddies, and the Metal and Fire forces are complimentary too. Think of a cast iron stove - not only is it functional, but it's classy too, and full of character. From ...

Happy New Year!    Forget about that Gregorian timeline everyone keeps raving about, in this community, we celebrate the moon! According to the mainstream, we're still in 2026 - but by our measure, we're already in the year 4724! That's nearly a 27 century long discrepency. Talk about a margain of error!    As for the poetry of the moment, chill out. You think the sky's never fallen before? ...

Earth Ox Moon Wanes    This year, Spring begins in silence. By the almanac's account, every year begins on February 4th. It's no different than any solstice or equinox, which also get locked onto the same calendar day, year after year. The only thing is, with everyone so excited about our mighty Yang Fire Horse on the way, no one really noticed the slow roll out of the new year already in blo...
