Full Wood Goat Moon
Here we are, full Wood Goat mode. Think of it as a baby Goat, fresh out of the womb. They're cute, cuddly, and clumsy - but when you pit it up against a wild Fire Horse, tensions might get tight. That poor Wood Goat kid is going to have a hard time keeping pace with that blazing bronco... and that manic Fire Horse mare is going to hate having to slow down for that baby Goat.
As for the poetry of the moment, breathe. When times get tight, it can feel like we're being drawn and quartered by life, especially in a Yang Fire Horse Year! Fate has a funny way of forcing us forward, and destiny couldn't care less if we're ready or not. Assuming we've got choice in the matter, it would be wise to slow down and settle... at least for the moment.
To make this make sense, pump the breaks. While the rest of the world is pulling at our coat tails and urging us to carry on, the Summer sun is fizzing out and the Autumn moons are starting to surface. Believe it or not, It's time to fold those swim trunks and put the sun screen away - it's scarf season!
