Rooster Moon Wanes
We're at the tail end of our celestial Chicken/Snake combo. If we can see beyond the Abrahamic vilification of the sacred serpent and instead honor it as an ancestral wisdom keeper of the earth, then we could equally allow the rooster to mature into a phoenix - the noble wisdom keeper of the heavens. These opposing foes unify to create the ultimate Yin/Yang Tai Chi harmony.
As for the poetry of the moment, see this as a little minute of zero gravity. You know - that split-second neutral point that comes between rising and falling. It's probably the closest thing that we could compare to heaven. So, try to enjoy it, because from this phase forward, we dive back down into the steep pit of Yin for another taste of fate.
To make this make sense, be content. No more reaching, no more striving, no more projects, plans, or prospects. Stop stealing life from tomorrow. Let all your efforts be toward resolution and fulfillment - everything else is just fine the way it is. It's dark outside. Let's wind down and go to bed.
