The Daoist Outlook・111

Oct 09, 2026

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. Why not get cozy in front of the fire with a warm cup of cocoa instead?

   As for the poetry of the moment, this moon is like a loyal pet dog. Imagine coming home after a long day's work and your Golden Retriever jumps up to greet you at the door. Isn't that sweet? This is why we asked you to manage your reserves - you still have to take your dog out for a walk.
   To make this make sense, Fall is nearly finished - the end is in sight. Why on earth would you start anything new? The year's almost complete, this is the time for routines and rituals. Now circle around your favorite floor mat a few times and lay down for the night. That'a boy.

✧ The Last Moon of Autumn ✧

Take a Walk: Enjoy a scenic jaunt
Hold Hands: Reciprocate unconditional love
Eat with People: Friends, the forgotten food group
Be Obedient:
Have some wholesome fun
Let's Rest: Get cozy by the fire

All Dogs Go to Heaven

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.     A...

Full Fire Rooster Moon    Much like last month's Monkey, we've got another moon of Fire - except this one is Yin. Instead of some raging flame, think of it more like a sizzling stack of coals with searing embers crackling against the romantic contrast of a moonlit horizon. When you mix that up that with the agitated gait of a Yang Fire Horse Year, it looks just like a phoenix rising from it's...
The Daoist Outlook・108
Yin Rooster Moon Rises    Roosters have great energy for finishing. Imagine the floor, covered in grit, rocks, and pebbles - a chicken has no problem picking out a little insect or a tiny seed. Right? Use this energy to cross those T's and dot those I's. In the conversation of closing up, no other archetype gets it right like the Rooster.    As for the poetry of the moment, wrap it up. Why k...
