The Daoist Outlook・082

Mar 20, 2026

Yin Metal Rabbit Moon


   Shifu will often joke about the Yin Metal Rabbit relating to O.J. Simpson. If you think about it, it kind of makes sense - at least from a Chinese Astrology perspective. Look at a zodiac wheel and you'll find the Rabbit precariously tucked between two beasts of prey - Dragons above and Tigers below - just like O.J. being chased in his white Bronco by police cars AND helicopter. 😅

   As for the poetry of the moment, be careful. Everyone knows that rabbits can multiply like crazy - but have you ever considered why? Well, if you're familiar with the literary classic "Watership Down," then you might also be aware of how dangerous life can be for a bunny. Sure, your old Rabbit's foot might still be considered lucky, but the rest of its body... not so much.
   To make this make sense, mind your hide. When everything is sprouting up, new and fresh, you can't blame life for an accidental nudge or two - you just have to watch your step and keep your head up. We're in prime time for manic mood-swings and spontaneous breakdowns, so try not to take things personal and be sure you're solving more problems than you're causing.

✧ When Danger Lurks ✧

Lock it In: Handle all your necessities.
Forgive and Accept: Let all that little stuff slide!
Simplify Life: Look for satisfaction in the insignificant. 
Stay Connected:
 Update your neighborhood watch.
Practice Gratitude: None of this is promised.

Silly Rabbit! Tricks are for Kids!

Full Water Dragon Moon    Boom! It's kind of the perfect word for the moment. This is Yang rising. In many ways, this is exactly what Yang is supposed to feel like - fast, abrupt, chaotic, and dangerous. These acute flashes of random aggression are all the more amplified in a Yang Fire Horse Year. Funny thing is, this isn't just a for now thing - this is going to be for a while... at least an...

Waxing Water Dragon    Shifu often talks about how big a Dragon can get. Imagine a beast so big it can fill the entire sky! It's like the first Star Wars intro where you can see the bottom of a starship cruiser and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger as the screen pans down. Similarly, the classics describe Dragons as being so big that your eyes can't contain all of one at once...

Yang Water Dragon Moon    Dude! Remember the last big Water Dragon of 2012? Can you remember how crazy that year was? Now, imagine all of that "crazy" compacted into one moon! Sure, we've had a few Water Dragon Moons since... so it's not like the sky is going to fall or anything like that - but you can still expect some curve balls to come hurtling your way.    As for the poetry of the momen...
