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・110
Rooster Moon Wanes    As our spicy Chicken Moon comes to a close, we want to utilize every last bit of her influence to close up shop. We may not get another chance to put all those last minute details in order, so put off anything and everything that can wait and focus on meeting your deadlines!

Full Fire Rooster Moon    Much like last month's Monkey, we've got another moon of Fire - except this one is Yin. Instead of some raging flame, think of it more like a sizzling stack of coals with searing embers crackling against the romantic contrast of a moonlit horizon. When you mix that up that with the agitated gait of a Yang Fire Horse Year, it looks just like a phoenix rising from it's...
The Daoist Outlook・108
Yin Rooster Moon Rises    Roosters have great energy for finishing. Imagine the floor, covered in grit, rocks, and pebbles - a chicken has no problem picking out a little insect or a tiny seed. Right? Use this energy to cross those T's and dot those I's. In the conversation of closing up, no other archetype gets it right like the Rooster.    As for the poetry of the moment, wrap it up. Why k...
