The moon is finally dark today, thank goodness! This first moon of the year of the black water dragon has been explosive on many levels, but in particular it has outed all kinds of secrets, from previously hidden affairs of the heart to previously unseen cancers to previously hidden aggressive tendencies. The daughter of a client was bitten by her rescued pit bull mix, a dog she was very fond of, and proud to have rescued. The bite was serious; it crushed the bones in her forearm and the dog's teeth pierced the bone so deeply that marrow extruded from the wound. That is really a bad bite! Made me think of Jake and thank god that he never bit anyone. The dog has been put down, the girl is in the hospital where she'll stay for awhile until they're sure her marrow didn't get infected.
I am a black water dragon by birth and yes I do love stirring the deep, dark waters at the bottom of the sea, I'll admit it. Nevertheless or maybe because I have this tendency, I felt no hesitation about speaking directly to the black water dragons. I have been begging them to settle down, a rather useless act since dragons are fiercely wild and can not be domesticated in any sense of the word. What I "got" is that they were laughing at me since I am one of them. I asked if they planned to calm down a little bit with the dark moon. Indeed they seem exhausted by all the stirring and troublemaking. They really went on a bender to launch their year. They "said" they will sleep at the dark moon, but their "tails will continue to twitch." Hmph. There's no safety net this lunar year, apparently. Do you have a deep, dark secret? All I want to say is look out! It could all come out into the light. It could. Maybe it won't. Who knows?
It feels calm in Washington DC this morning. Brother Wind is blowing a bit and it's cold, but I don't feel the upturned energy of recent weeks, I'm not sensing upheaval. At least not yet! The day is young.
I have clients and more clients coming today to luxuriate in the warmth and softness of my new massage table. I'm looking forward to a satisfying day of connection and healing. Hope your day is splendid. Shalom.

You always give me so much to think about with only one blog post. I am deeply affected by the moon but am ignorant about dragons. There are so many things influencing how I encounter life and I am not sure what to do with/about it. Luckily, I have a positive attitude most of the time but when I don't, like right now, I struggle.
I don't think I have any big dark secrets but I certainly could have forgotten them if I do.
I think the idea of things hidden becoming revealed is quite in Meg's life lately - though she's doing the revealing :)
are there big light secrets - you know the kind that you hold because they bring so much joy and goodness into this world? steven
I just finished reading Thomas Moore's "Dark Night of the Soul", and I find so much here that reminds me of the goddess Hecate. Your commentary about darkness and moons and breezes....and even dogs curled happily at your feet. Thinking I need to pass by here more often....Best to you. EFH
Perhaps not a big, dark secret... but I do have many, many secrets. And sometimes, I wonder what to do with them. . .
SG I'm going to write about that on the other blog today when I have time.
Gary I am so sorry you're struggling! Wish I could help.
Steven I love the bright secrets that bring smiles and happiness when revealed. I really love them. However, we are black water dragons. We love dragging the detritus out into the bright light, having a good look at what was mired in the deeps. Oh my!
Reya, I think you do.
A black water dragon: I haven't heard of this. It sounds really awesome and powerful, and also mischief-making.
That's an awful story about your client's daughter. Sending healing thoughts her way, wherever she is.
Stirring up the muck and mire deep in the black water...hmmmm. Yes, I think I've met the black water dragon. He did, indeed, seem delighted with his stirring.
We can only hope that the stirring will evenutally lead to a clearing of the waters, yes?
Hmmmm. I'm doing the math, and I've just realized you were born the same year as my ex-husband. He was a Dragon, and he and I did NOT get along. I was born in a Dog year, and dragons and dogs are such a poor marital match.
I love Chinese astrology!
My current Partner (of almost 14 years) is a Rooster. We have our issues, but it's a whole lot easier with him than with my Ex. My Mr6 is a little Rooster. And my Partner's wayward daughter is.....a DRAGON (scary background music)!
As I grew up with so many dark hidden secrets, you know what they were, Reya, and I was forbidden to ask about them, and out of loyalty and obedience I followed the rules, but they made me sick - so for "my own life" I found a better solution. I am blunt and straightforward and admit my own wrong-doings and accept others`. Period. No hidden secrets. We are all not "good" people, I don`t believe in heroes and saints, and if people pretend they are I call them liars and hypocrits. If we had a culture of forgiving, no dark dragon-guarded pits would be necessary.
Fortunately, Reya, I have no major secrets.
That dog story! So sad! That poor woman, and that poor dog. You just never know what scars you inherit with a rescue dog. (Which is not at all to speak against rescuing dogs -- I would still adopt a rescue dog before going for any other options.)
I love those paperweights!
Scary music indeed Nerima. I was born on new year's eve of the year of the black water dragon, 4 hours before a solar eclipse, on Friday the 13th! Good lord!
wonderful post.
so this is your YEAR.....one of my chinese friends told me years ago that you are in 'your year' it is very auspicious to wear some red every day.
you look really good in red by the way!!!
