The Daoist Outlook・107

Sep 11, 2026

Yin Fire Rooster Moon


   Back up Monkey King, it's Rooster time. If there's anything that can keep a Fire Monkey in check, it has to be his successor, the incredible Yin Fire Hen. This Kentucky Fried archetype is hot headed, aggressive, and strapped with a carbon-steel-beak and cast-iron-claws. Watch out - she will peck you.

   As for the poetry of the moment, get out of the way. You wouldn't want to ruffle the feathers of the poultry princess. The Yin Fire Rooster is essentially the equivalent of a blazing phoenix bursting from its ashes. You'd get burnt just from getting too close, all the more if you were actually in her way. Your best bet is to just sit back and enjoy all the lovely colors of the sunset.
   To make this make sense, you don't want trouble right now, do you? The Summer is clearly complete and the seasonal tides are shifting. You could either act accordingly or nature will have no problem reminding you who's turf you're playing on. Play it safe, dude. Winter is right around the corner.

✧ The Second Moon of Fall ✧

Slow Down: There's no need to rush
Get Complete: Don't drag drama into Winter
Create Space: Make room for all the abundance
Turn In:
There's no need to push yourself
Rest: Pretend you have the time

Winter is Coming

Dog Moon Rises    Dogs are loyal, loving, and kind. They are responsible, dependable, sweet, caring, and compassionate. The only downside to a dog is that they can be a little naive at times - borderline gullible. Dogs are loyal to a fault. They will follow their master to the ends of the earth - even if their master is an idiot.    As for the poetry of the moment, be helpful, but help yours...

Yang Earth Dog Moon     We did it, the bulk of the heat is behind us. If you've been following along this whole time, then you would know we've been working our way home to close out the year in comfort. There's no need to be out and running about.
