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.

Yang Earth Dog Moon     We did it, the bulk of the heat is behind us. If you've been following along this whole time, then you would know we've been working our way home to close out the year in comfort. There's no need to be out and running about. Why not get cozy in front of the fire with a warm cup of cocoa instead?    As for the poetry of the moment, this moon is like a loyal pet dog. Im...

Rooster Moon Wanes    As our spicy Chicken Moon comes to a close, we want to utilize every last bit of her influence to close up shop. We may not get another chance to put all those last minute details in order, so put off anything and everything that can wait and focus on meeting your deadlines! Make use of this last chance energy to wrap up your workload and avoid accruing late fees.     A...

Full Fire Rooster Moon    Much like last month's Monkey, we've got another moon of Fire - except this one is Yin. Instead of some raging flame, think of it more like a sizzling stack of coals with searing embers crackling against the romantic contrast of a moonlit horizon. When you mix that up that with the agitated gait of a Yang Fire Horse Year, it looks just like a phoenix rising from it's...
