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. And, as this is going on, we find the Ok (Dog) trecena in place to carry us through Read the full article…

As this Kab’an (Earth/Movement) trecena begins, thousands of people will be in the midst of “red light” skies or noticing intense red sunsets.

The end of July, the end of a month that has been recorded as being the hottest on record, bringing temperatures that temporarily exceeded the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

And in a large swath of southeastern Ukraine the devastating flooding caused by Russia’s destruction Read the full article…

In the UK over the past year there has been a considerable amount of pageantry. In early June of 2022 a very special 4-day Platinum Jubilee celebration was held, with hundreds of parading soldiers, horses, and musicians, special performances, tributary events in Commonwealth countries, and exceptional exhibitions that highlighted aspects of Queen Elizabeth’s life and seven decade reign. Then, three Read the full article…

It’s Spring, and the natural realm is heeding the call to push forth new life everywhere it can. That reaching for the sun, that call to stretch upwards and grow, that “self determined drive” to expand and fulfill one’s potential, is very much aligned with the nature of this time frame.

Expect miracles. Anticipate magic. This is the Wind, Breath, Spirit trecena, and it’s going to be a period of high intensity and high excitement for millions of people, just like it was in the UK last year, at the time of Queen Elizabeth’s Grand Platinum Jubilee.
