When looking at events through the lens of the Maya Calendar it is amazing what manifests even when one has a general sense of the nature of the forthcoming energies. The high level shake-ups during this past “transformation-oriented” trecena was a case in point. Hardly a day went by without the announcement of yet another huge political shift. Now, as Read the full article…

Brace yourself, as here it comes again – the energy that was in place during last year’s U.S. presidential election. And just as before, this Jaguar-oriented trecena has a lot to contend with, especially with all the developments that have come to light over the past few days. As we saw last November, this is a time frame that places Read the full article…

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 this first trecena of the new cycle gets underway the Moon Goddess (who is aligned with the power of birth) is working in tandem with Imix, the birth-oriented “generative nucleus” that Read the full article…

With just two trecenas remaining in the current 260 day One Imix to Thirteen Ajaw sequence, the Men (Eagle) trecena tends to be a time frame associated with valour and the push towards supremacy. This is a zone that has been oriented traditionally, around power, military strength, and transformative action, as symbolized by the eagle. This is a “call to action” Read the full article…

There was no doubt last September that the opening of the Ik’ trecena was a “One Wind” day as that was the time when Cat. 5 Super Typhoon Meranti, one of the most powerful ever recorded, knocked out power to some 500,000 households in Taiwan, before wreaking havoc on mainland China. This typhoon had strengthened from a Cat. 1 to Read the full article…

After all the dust and dirt kicked up by the last trecena, which (among other things) generated an extraordinary meltdown in Washington D.C. and set the world wondering about the implications of the missile testing in North Korea, we come to the Muluk trecena, which begins with an important 52-day Shift-point within the 260-day cycle. As One Muluk comes into Read the full article…

As usual, the end of the last trecena brought a crescendo of activity, including much intense scrambling by U.S. lawmakers to pass a spending bill to prevent the government from shutting down, and a major push to repeal and replace Obamacare. While the House of Representatives passed a bill (with a razor-thin 217-213 vote) to do just that, the U.S. Read the full article…

“House”, “Temple”, “Darkness” – these are words often used as a translation for Ak’b’al.
