    Liquid Freedom: The Winding Windfalls of the Water Snake

    This month we’re going to be discussing the archetype of the Water Snake. As the sign that kicks off the summer in the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake is considered a Skyhorse sign, as it is meant to launch us into movement. Skyhorse signs naturally have a characteristic of travel tied to them, and with the Snake, the movement is non-linear, as these periods beget opportunity to take on new journeys.

    Winds of Wisdom: Hexagram 61 and the Metal Rabbit

    This week we're continuing our discussion of the Metal Rabbit archetype, this time in relation to Hexagram 61 in the I Ching, which is tied to Inner Truth. Hexagram 61 is composed of the trigrams of Wind above and Lake below. We don't always know where the wind will take us, or where our creative growth wants to lead us, but we can find joy in that. When we sense what is true to us, feels good to us, and feels aligned with deeper meaning and purpose, we can learn to find fulfillment even in uncertainty.

    Peaks and Horizons: Fire and Earth Lessons from the Metal Tiger

    This week we’re continuing our discussion of the Metal Tiger by exploring its hidden stem elements of Yang Fire and Yang Earth. Fire represents our passion, optimism, and capacity for action. When properly fueled — and supported by the Wood element that feeds it — this energy motivates us to be seen. Yang Earth, on the other hand, offers a grounding influence within what is otherwise a fast-moving and impulsive archetype. Placed in the connection sector, it supports building stable relationships through presence, reliability, and groundedness. --------- Support Floresense: ⁠Substack⁠ ⁠Insight Timer Meditations⁠
