The Daoist Outlook・084

Apr 03, 2026

Full Metal Rabbit Moon


   Rabbits are known to be busy bodies. They're typically sweet, bubbly, and bright with an especially strong sensitive side. Those floppy ears and tender paws lend to keen connectivity and heightened intuition. That sixth sense of theres is all the more heightened amongst mystical Metal types. To that end, this would be a good time to get spiritual - how ever that looks for you. 

   As for the poetry of the moment, pray. It's not that hard. Shifu often says, "If you only have one prayer - let it be gratitude." Whether you believe in a God or not is irrelevant - you can still be grateful. We don't have to wait for Thanksgiving to foster a feeling of appreciation in our hearts.  
   To make this make sense, be thankful. It starts with counting our blessings and making a list of gratitudes. After thinking about it, maybe you can begin to feel it too. You might feel warm, emotional, or anxious. Some people even get chills up their spine. From that point, all that's left is action. Go out in the world and do something special for someone - keep the gratitude going.

✧ Acting Out of Appreciation ✧
Think It: Make a list of all your blessings.
Feel It: Let yourself get charged with emotions.
Plan It: How could you put that feeling to good use?
Do It: Share gratitude through acts of kindness.
Enjoy It: Witness your blessings bloom.

It's a Beautiful Morning

The Daoist Outlook・103
Yang Fire Monkey Moon    Monkeys are full of trouble, not so much out of mischief, but more so out of boredom - especially those frisky, Fire types. These fiesty primates only like to learn the rules enough to break them. They're the best at instigating a good time. The only thing is, we should all be winding down - not riling up.    As for the poetry of the moment, contain yourself. It's of...

The Goat Moon Wanes    Here we are, the last leg of Summer - any last words? Consider this phase "Project Hail Mary," Yang's last ditch effort. This is the time to get inside! It's no longer about being wise, now it's about being human. Whodini was right, "The Freaks Come Out at Night," so curb those cravings or find yourself in the company of all the other hungry ghosts that roam around afte...
The Daoist Outlook・101
Full Wood Goat Moon    Here we are, full Wood Goat mode. Think of it as a baby Goat, fresh out of the womb. They're cute, cuddly, and clumsy - but when you pit it up against a wild Fire Horse, tensions might get tight. That poor Wood Goat kid is going to have a hard time keeping pace with that blazing bronco... and that manic Fire Horse mare is going to hate having to slow down for that baby ...
