Mid summer and the Sun trecena is coming into place – good timing!

Brace yourself, as here it comes again – the energy that was in place during last year’s U.S. presidential election.

A brilliant Full Moon ushers in a brand new 260-day count, providing us with yet another opportunity to work through the Imix-to-Ajaw (birth to enlightenment) cycle of energies.

As we move forward from the last 13-day period, which began with a “Day Without Immigrants” strike in the U.S., followed by a declaration of war against the media by the U.S. president, and then a series of large-scale protest demonstrations throughout the trecena, we arrive at the key mid-point within the overall 260-day cycle.   This is One Chuwen, Read the full article…

After the intensity of the last trecena with its severe ice storms, blizzards, rainstorms, earthquakes (Italy), and political storms that brought the conclusion of one era and the opening of another – an era in which the world at large has to deal with the issue of a “Divided States of America” – the question looms: What now?
