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.

The Daoist Outlook・101
Full Wood Goat Moon    Here we are, full Wood Goat mode. Think of it as a baby Goat, fresh out of the womb. They're cute, cuddly, and clumsy - but when you pit it up against a wild Fire Horse, tensions might get tight. That poor Wood Goat kid is going to have a hard time keeping pace with that blazing bronco... and that manic Fire Horse mare is going to hate having to slow down for that baby ...

The Goat Moon Rises    This feeling is tricky - the pressure to rise against the wisdom to descend. It's currently the time for wrapping things up and closing things out, and yet the New Goat Moon is growing and the late Summer days are still hot. Don't be fooled, friends - dawn is distinct from dusk - we need to be finishing.    As for the poetry of the moment, wrap it up folks. Use whateve...

Yin Wood Goat Moon    Is it a Sheep, a Lamb, a Goat, or a Ram? It might even pass as a miniature bull cow! Whatever you call it, it's the last moon of Summer, and it brings a flavor of closure to the conversation. This species is known to eat anything, and they'd scale a rigid cliff for nothing more than a lick of salt. It'd be wise to use this nimble chi for a safe descent into the cooler mo...
