The Daoist Outlook・110
Rooster Moon Wanes
As our spicy Chicken Moon comes to a close, we want to utilize every last bit of her influence to close up shop. We may not get another chance to put all those last minute details in order, so put off anything and everything that can wait and focus on meeting your deadlines! Make use of this last chance energy to wrap up your workload and avoid accruing late fees.

As for the poetry of the moment, wrap it up. If we compared the length of a year to the length of a day, this particular phase would be aligned with the early evening - just before dusk. "Night fall," ie Winter, is upon us. Let's tidy up, settle down, and get ready for bed. Doesn't that sound nice?
To make this make sense, get it done. This is the time to finalize that draft, double check your work, and submit a polished project. Try not to entertain anything new or exciting just yet - wait until the Spring. Go home and settle down for now. Sink into the well weathered groove of your restful rituals and evening wind-down routines - this is the beginning of Winter.
✧ Goodnight Rooster ✧
Wrap Up: Focus on the finish
Clock Out: Don't beat around the bush
Travel Wise: Dodge traffic and beat the rush
Wash Up: Don't take the day into bed
Go to Sleep: Invest in rest
It's Almost Bed Time
