Yin Wood Goat Moon
Is it a Sheep, a Lamb, a Goat, or a Ram? It might even pass as a miniature bull cow! Whatever you call it, it's the last moon of Summer, and it brings a flavor of closure to the conversation. This species is known to eat anything, and they'd scale a rigid cliff for nothing more than a lick of salt. It'd be wise to use this nimble chi for a safe descent into the cooler moons of Fall.
As for the poetry of the moment, slow down - like, waaay down. From this view, the sizzle of Summer is behind us. Now is the time to forge your way home and quietly close out the night. Skimp that second wind and ignore all those fancy happy hour specials. Let your friends burn out while you remain alert and rested. Don't forget, we still have a huge Winter ahead of us.
To make this make sense, don't over do it. Learn when enough is enough. Let someone else set the agenda. You don't need to have the last word. Try not to start anything new, and certainly don't stir up any pots from the past. This is your golden hour, that perfect moment just before sunset. Remember that you have a valuable treasure worth going home to - now act like it.
✧ The Last Moon of Summer ✧
Devote: Work towards a purpose.
Dominate: Knock out all of your daily duties.
Discern: Don't start nothing that won't be nothing.
Direct: There's no need to sugarcoat truth.
Don't Delay: Hurry home - Now!
It Has to End Sometime
