Dragon Moon Wanes
Careful now, don't let the Dragon fool you. Remember at the beginning of the moon when we told you that the Dragon was really, really big? Well, this is where it shows up - you thought the Dragon was done, but NOPE! We still have another moon to go! You thought that was a Snake moon coming next? Better look again... that's not a snake - that's the Dragon's tail!
As for the poetry of the moment, this is it! The Game of Thrones may have us scared of the Winter, but the real trouble is here with the rise of Summer!
Feel like the world is going crazy - inside and out? Well, this is the pace and intensity of a Yang Fire Horse Year. It's not all that bad, but don't expect it to let up anytime soon. We've still got a long ride ahead of us.
To make this make sense, hang in there. It might be rough, but things are likely to get way worse before they get any better. Knowing this, maybe we could learn to count our blessings and appreciate where we are - for better or for worse. As bad as these things may be, God forbid the tides turn on us and these extremes exacerbate. One day we could end up praying for a day like today - so it might be wise to learn gratitude early.
