Full Double-Snake Moon
Back in the days of young Confucius, before he made a name for himself as a civil philosopher, he traveled all over China on a campaign to unify the lands. This was not an easy task. Imagine all the different ethnic minorities, all the different languages and dialects...
The Snake's Squeeze
Snakes are creative killers. We all know that they bite, some even use their venom! The scary ones, however, squeeze and suffocate. Try to keep this in mind as the season begins to heat up and tensions get tight. You don't want to get choked out by the stress of a Double...
New Snake Moon
We've got ourselves a very special double Snake flavor to explore. With a Yin Wood Snake year coupled with a Yin Metal Snake moon, it's as if we've got our own little ouroboros. The mirror nature of this moon combined with the constant conflict of metal and wood creates just e...
Dragon Moon Wanes
This is it, the last bit of Spring. Can you believe that we're already starting Summer? As quickly as we breezed through Winter and Spring, the Summer might feel a little long this time around. We've got ourselves a double-goat leap-year which is going to translate as an ex...
Full Dragon Moon
Admittedly, this moon is far less emotional than the previous one, but the charge is certainly stronger. Nature is in full bloom and the year is beginning to ramp up. There's a lot of potential to manage right now. How are you with containment? Can you keep it all under wrap...
The Yang Metal Dragon
We've made it to the final moon of Spring, the Yang Metal Dragon. After this phase, Yang takes full flight up into the heights of Summer. That's when the rubber hits the road and things really start to ramp up - but for now, we wait. It's like the calm before a big sto...
New Dragon Moon
The annual Qing Ming Festival is this week in China. The name translates as "Clear and Bright." It's pretty much the same as "Dia De Los Muertos" in Mexico, except our holiday is in the Spring and there's is in the Fall. What's interesting is how both of these death festivals...
Rabbit Moon Wanes
We're not out of the woods just yet. The lucky rabbit may have evaded the terrestrial threat of the tiger, but she may very well run right into the jaws of a Dragon. The next two moons are considered the most potent of the twelve zodiac archetypes - all the other moons are ...
Full Rabbit Moon
We're traversing some mystic moments at the moment. Can you feel it? We've been raving about this magical moon for a few weeks now, but we're not the only ones. Interestingly enough, over 1⁄4 of the planet's population is fasting right now in celebration of the Ramadan Moon....
Lucky Rabbit's Feet
The waxing rabbit moon is a time of hyper sensitivity, and all the more so in a snake year. These two animals are considered the most mystical of the twelve, so the veil may wear thin while the two of them are together. Have you been feeling it? There's a bit of tensio...
New Rabbit Moon
We're all familiar with the iconic white rabbit archetype, complete with it's classic line, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" Rabbits are known for running, and they don't really have a choice. Caught in between last month's tiger moon, next month's dragon moon, and all while i...
Tiger Moon Wanes
And with that, the Yin Wood Snake Year is off to a strong start. As we wrap up this Tiger moon, it's a good time to assess how you managed all this new energy of the Spring season. Did you go out and squander it all, or have you been good about your pacing and tempo? Be care...
