The Daoist Outlook・086

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 moment, keep your eye on the ball. This is where the pace of the game really picks up and you don't want to be stuck in a rut. No one has it all planned out, life could still come flying out of left field in an instant, so be careful not to strike out before you even step to the plate.
   To make this make sense, hone in. There are a million and one possibilities on the table right now, but in all reality, you can only manage one or two of them well. If you try to juggle too much, you could very well lose everything. As they say, "Learn one, master one. Learn twelve, master none."

✧ Dial it Down ✧

Two Eyes: To see the needs of now.
Two Ears: To listen for a chance to serve.
Two Hands: To carry, comfort, and create.
Two Feet:
To bring our blessings forward.
One Mouth: To sing thanks and praise.

The Daoist Outlook・085
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...

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 look...

Waxing Metal Rabbit    We all know of the classic adage depicting the epic race between the old tortoise and the spry young hare - well, we're living it now. If you're aligned with the mainstream-machine-mind-clock-calendar-construct, then you're likely under the impression that Spring has only just begun - but that would be the rabbit in this instance. The real winner of the race is our turt...
