Yin Earth Pig Moon
It's officially Winter! How does it feel? The sizzling coals of the Fire Horse are beginning to burn out. We're in Yin. If we pit the length of a year against the length of a day, this would be bed time. So if you're not hibernating yet, you should at least be sleeping in and catching some extra Zzz's.
As for the poetry of the moment, rest. Go ahead, handle your business. It wouldn't be advised to escape your daily duties for sake of this cosmology - but still, work with the end in mind. Try to finish early and hurry home for dinner. There will always be more work, but as of right now, nothing is more important than your down time. Let yourself rest.
To make this make sense, close up shop. You should already be finished by now, so if you're still on the grind, make sure what you're up to is worth your time and energy. Seriously, before you embark on anything new, run it through these three functional filters: 1. Does this need to be done? 2. Does this need to be done - right now? 3. Does this need to be done right now - by me? If the task at hand doesn't make these three cuts, drop it.
