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 Horse Moon Wanes    Have you ever noticed that some horses wear blinders? They're these tiny little flaps of black leather that block off the sides of a horses eyes to shield their periferal vision. They're common amongst service horses and calvary. It keeps them focused and it prevents them from getting overly stimulated.    As for the poetry of the moment, take some time to reflect on ...

Full Wood Horse Moon    BOOM! If only we could start this edition off with a sound effect, or better yet, a theme song. This is the peak of Mount Everest - the highest point of the year. We've made it. You can pat yourself on the back. Great job! Now we get to watch the mushroom cloud and steer clear of the fall out.     As for the poetry of the moment, go ahead, take a breather. With the wo...

Waxing Wood Horse Moon   It's Summer Solstice season, the absolute peak of our annual solar cycle - you doing okay? Whether you're Kid Icarus or Tony Montana from Scarface, the story remains the same, "Careful not to fly too high." You'd be better off floating and coasting at a steady cruising altitude for the rest of this phase.    As for the poetry of the moment, don't over extend yourself...
