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 Water Snake    There was once a Snake caught in a fire. A brave man saved the Snake by pulling it from the blaze, but in the process, the Snake bit the man and killed him with poison. Perhaps we could fault the Snake, but it's only natural for it to bite. Perhaps we could fault the brave man, but he only wanted to help.     As for the poetry of the moment, be careful! If you want to s...

Yin Water Snake Moon    Wow, Snake moon - the first moon of Summer! We often talk about how a Snake is really just the tail of a Dragon, but Snakes also have a personality of their own. On good days, they're wise, intuitive, attentive, intelligent, and caring. On bad days, however, they could be down right mean, manic, and manipulative - their misconduct is literally biblical. Care for an app...

Dragon Moon Wanes    Careful now, don't let the Dragon fool you. Remember at the beginning of the moon when we told you that the Dragon was really, really big? Well, this is where it shows up - you thought the Dragon was done, but NOPE! We still have another moon to go! You thought that was a Snake moon coming next? Better look again... that's not a snake - that's the Dragon's tail!    As fo...
