Metal Tiger Moon Wanes

   It's the tail end of the Tiger moon, and quite frankly, Tigers don't have the best batting average - they miss far more than they hit. Fortunately, the hits are often big enough to split the difference, but just like a Tiger's stripes, its life is rather "off and on"/"feast or famine." It can be quite the rollercoaster.

   As for the poetry of the moment, hone in. You don't have to chase after an appetizer, save your appetite for the big meal. There is a lot on the line, and we don't want to squander off our precious reserves for lackluster gains. A Yang Metal Tiger is like a retired military mercenary - old but still dangerous. So forget about the chase - either go for the kill, or leave it alone.
   To make this make sense, practice discernment. It's a jungle out there and we need not burden our backs with unnecessary knick-knacks. If what you are up to doesn't generate tangible value for yourself and others, then don't waste your time or effort. Keep things as simple as possible - just focus on the bottom line and forget about everything else. The year has only begun.
