Kab’an – Earth, Evolutionary Movement, often a time for great leaps into new directions. Four days into this trecena we will reach the completion of exactly two Tzolk’in cycles since the start of the new era on Dec. 21, 2012. So where are we now? No doubt, given all the hype surrounding that end point/start point date, many thought that some Read the full article…

As we approach the conclusion of the second Tzolk’in cycle since the December 2012 start of this new Great Cycle of time, we return to the K’an trecena, aligned with the general idea of Germination.

Time to take your “inner monkey” out for a romp!  Following another wild ride through the Etz’nab’ trecena, filled with many shocking events reflective of the divisiveness and decisiveness that can come out when the Sun God engages in battle with the Lord of the Underworld (especially with a Grand Cardinal Cross in place), we now welcome the return of Read the full article…

As we come to the close of the Classical Maya year the strong Quetzalcóatl-related forces associated with the Chikchan trecena are now coming into play.

After coming through the various “storms” highlighted in the March 15th post, we now move into the Eb’ trecena, which has been affilated traditionally with renewed vitality and fertility.

We have been watching them throughout this Kawak (“Storm”) trecena – – those dark and ominous clouds. Some came in on the first day, in classic One Kawak fashion. Reports from Australia show a massive dark cloud, described as “apocalyptic”, that rolled in like a tsunami over Sydney on that day, and then dumped some 30 mm of rain in just 30 Read the full article…

Stripped down to the bare bones – that is how much is looking these days after so much dreadful weather . . . and the tense and demanding events of the past trecena that saw enormous anti-government protests in the Ukraine, Bosnia, Venezuela, and Thailand; the rescue of hundreds of people from Homs in Syria; and millions of people struggling Read the full article…

It could be a tense start to 2014’s Winter Olympics, as there have already been grumblings about Sochi’s relative readiness for these games (as described in Sam Laird’s article – click here).
