What a difference one cycle can make. Last August, as a new 260-day Maya Calendar cycle was set to begin, there was a renewed sense of optimism as the Harris-Walz campaign clicked into high gear in the U.S. and people had “a reason to hope” that rationality and justice would prevail and Trumpism would finally die down. New military equipment Read the full article…

In the early morning hours of April 18, 1906, on the first day of this trecena, residents of San Francisco felt a rumble, a forewarning of what was to happen 20-25 seconds later, when one of Planet Earth’s most catastrophic earthquakes ruptured the San Andreas fault for almost 300 miles. It was a shakeup that killed thousands, left 80% of Read the full article…

Let there be light. Let there be sun. Let there be en-LIGHT-enment!! After a seriously wild conclusion to the last trecena, that brought torrential rains to many regions, including Nepal, several states in Mexico, and a large swath of the US southeast, it is evident that there are many places that could use some solar “drying out” at this time. Read the full article…

With this beginning of a brand new 260-day Maya Calendar cycle, the shift in energy is palpable. It is late summer, preparations are beginning to be made for forthcoming seasonal transitions, and change is in the wind.

“We’re not going back! We’re not going back!”, the new tagline for the Harris-Walz campaign, is picking up steam on a daily basis, and is signalling the enormous burst of enthusiasm for this campaign as it now moves into its first full trecena. Basically it’s saying “Game On! The timing for the ratcheting up of this campaign is interesting as Read the full article…

Returning once again to the Vulture trecena, after a trecena that brought to light even more ethics issues related to the US Supreme Court, the trial of the US president’s son, a former president undergoing a probation interview and returning to the scene of a horrific crime, and horrendous attacks by Israeli forces on refugee enclaves in Gaza, we come Read the full article…

Back again with the start of a brand new 260-day Maya Calendar cycle, but this time we are getting ready for winter instead of welcoming spring as we did 260 days ago when new beginnings were lining up perfectly. This time, unfortunately, things are definitely darker on many fronts – but not without potential. As always, the first trecena of Read the full article…

As we head towards December, here we are again with the last trecena in the current 260 day cycle. This is the trecena that tends to herald change prior to the beginning of the new cycle, often with an emphasis on “leadership”. And the world is watching, as the negotiations are underway to achieve a temporary ceasefire in order to Read the full article…

Do you remember how you felt at the beginning of this year – with Christmas behind you and the darkness of early January closing in? Many people just wanted to “hunker down” and rest, recuperate from the holidays, and regroup. That was 260 days (one Tzolk’in cycle) ago, and here we are again, working with the same energies for the Read the full article…

Early September, and there’s that “something” in the air – a hint of the impending change in seasons, the anticipation of returning to classes or to work, the uncertainties and expectancies associated with the possibility of having to adapt to something new.
