During this week, we practice consistency on the Lunar Calendar. As an Aquarius dominant Libra, I know about falling off wagons. Our types generally avoid wagons at all cost. lol. But the proverbial wagon represents the ability to stay on course, stay in bounds, and timely arrive at your intended destination.

In Chinese culture, the metaphorical wagon theme is represented by the Ox who is often pulling a wagon. From the Elemental philosophy, the Ox and wagon represent the Earth energy. Constant, solid, stable, focused, the Ox was a valuable asset in the past…. Like a good truck and tractor nowadays. Work the field. Plow the earth. Prepare the soil. Nurture the seed. Get up and do it again tomorrow. Rain or shine. No matter how you feel. It’s what you do.

When times get hard, I often think of all my ancestors whose life experiences and wisdom was handed down to me through my DNA code. Every single thing that happened to all of them through our history, unbroken passed down through time ending up as me now. Deep thoughts with dandelion tea.
