This typhoon had strengthened from a Cat. 1 to Read the full article…

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

It has been eight days since the start of the new Maya year, with several “world shifting” events, such as the triggering of Brexit and the U.S. missile strikes on Syria, occurring during that period.

With a highly challenging January now behind us we find the Chikchan trecena aligned with early February and a number of delightful diversions such as the continuation of Chinese New Year festivities, Valentine’s Day, and Carnevale in Venice. This is a force that can bring forth strong energy surges, as seen two cycles ago when the migrant crisis in Europe 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?

Almost as if to add an exclamation Read the full article…

During the first few days of this trecena flags on all public buildings across the U.S. will fly at half-mast in recognition of the passing last week of the celebrated astronaut/ senator John Glenn.
