Rabbit Moon Wanes

   And just like that, the second moon drifts away. If you have ever heard the expression "Time Flys," well, now you get to live it. Here we are, only having just begun the year, and we're already at the end of Spring! This raging Fire Horse has really ramped up from a trot to a gallop, and there are no signs of slowing. So hang tight - we've still got a lot of Yang in stock!  

   As for the poetry of the moment - here we go! We're steadily stepping into the most volatile time of a year. Arguably, all of the year's action takes place right in this Spring/Summer-Dragon/Snake cusp. The rest of the year is all about cleaning up the mess these two archetypes make. Sure, we're still a good moon away from the action, but in a Yang Fire Horse run, many of us can already feel the heat. Careful, it'll likely get far worse before it gets any better.
   To make this make sense, accept life for what it is - chaos. If we can lower our expectations and find peace amidst the storm, we'll fare far better than we would if we hold on to our expectations and desired outcomes. This is a time to practice adaption. As the Christians say, "Let Go, and Let God."

✧ Peace Begins with Me ✧

Mentally: Clear out the clutter from your mind.
