Why a lunar calendar?

A calendar allows us to move through natural cycles together. Staying with the feeling that everything is alive and changing all of the time, predictable patterns enable us to build meaningful relationships.

In this version of a lunar calendar, loosely based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, lunar Spring is the blue green dragon of the east that brings renewal and fresh growth. Lunar Summer is the red bird of the south that warms us as we enjoy bounty and expansion. Lunar Fall is the white tiger of the west that protects us as we harvest and prepare. Lunar Winter is the black tortoise of the north that guides us as we rest and store up energy for spring.

A lunar calendar can help you change the common habit of approaching every day in the same way and with the same goal: checking as many things off your list as possible. Each day has a different temperament. I hope you enjoy!
