“Totally under control” – remember that? Those were the “immortal” (but essentially immoral) words of the yet-to-be convicted orange dumpster during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, in the last year of his first term. That was nine cycles ago, on the fifth day of this time frame, one day before the city of Wuhan in China was put under quarantine lockdown, just before the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency. But that denialist in the White House was doing everything he could to downplay it, even though it only took one cycle after that for the global number of coronavirus cases to reach over 35 million. So, does anyone really believe that things are totally under control in the Middle East?

The last time this trecena was in place, last fall, a Gaza “ceasefire” was being negotiated, which was met with scepticism at the time, given Israel’s propensity for ignoring agreements. Since then nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 3,000 injured in Iraeli attacks, despite the “truce”. And now announcements are being made about a US-Iran ceasefire. If it’s true, the next question is – will it hold?

As we embark on this time period that will officially mark the beginning of summer, we are entering a period that often foments events of an “outrageous” nature. Indeed, two cycles ago it brought the inauguration of dumpster 2.0 and the disastrous immediate aftermath. At that same time massive wildfires were turning whole sections of Los Angeles into raging infernos. Tens of thousands of people were under evacuation order as thousands of homes and other structures were being consumed by the flames. One cycle ago, as citizens in Portland were creatively pushing back government troops through their “Frog Inflatables Resistance” tactics, citizens in other states were mounting their own defences, as it had become clear that massive civic resistance would be needed against “the dumpster and his goons” with regard to their cruel immigation agenda.

There is often an “opulence” aspect to events that take place during this period, sometimes tied in with great wealth, or a kind of overwhelming, over-the-top sense of excess, symbolized traditionally by the young Maya corn god who represents exuberance for life and the bounties of the earth (as does the lizard, the Aztec namesake for this trecena). With the World Cup now in play, in 16 cities spread across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., the youthful “exuberance for life” aspects of this time frame will play out vividly on the world stage. In addition, the chaos that it will cause (as in travel disruptions) will also be evident, as will its emphasis on catering to the wealthy and privileged rather than to those with more meagre means. The question of “Just what will Musk do with his trillion dollar income?” also looms large at this point.

Although this is a time frame that tends to open up all sorts of possibilities, the trecena overall can often manifest as a time of “testing”, as new ideas or ventures begin to take shape and the process of nurturing new endeavors begins. As always, the question at this point is – “what will be the nature of this testing at this time”?

Two cycles ago, as millions were bracing for the impact of “dumpster 2.0”, most people could never have imagined how bad things could actually get. But now, with over 60,000 people (including hundreds of children – including babies) being held in ICE detention centers, with federal support programs demolished, with the Departments of Health, Justice, National Defence, Homeland Security, FBI, and DNI (among others) in shambles, with millions struggling to buy food and gas, and dealing with higher prices worldwide due to price increases stemming from the US-Iran war, people are not nearly as “blind to realities” as they were during earlier iterations of this energy period.

This time people are much more aware of the wide-spread devastation that has been wrought by White House falsehoods, whims, decrees, and vindictiveness, and are cognizant of the rampant hypocrisy that supports it. They are also very aware of the diabolically aggressive nature of major players on the world stage, such as Putin, who has been attacking Ukraine so relentlessly, and Netanyahu who has been so fully responsible for the devastation that has been inflicted on Gaza and on Palestinians in other regions. Note that Russia has already begun this trecena by viciously attacking Ukraine again, this time hitting Kyiv’s Dormition Cathedral, a UNESCO world heritage site that is also one of Ukraine’s most significant religious sites. As Ukraine’s Prime Minister emphasized, as efforts were made to save this priceless building, this is “another Russian crime against humanity, against history, against Christianity”.

From an energy perspective, this trecena was seen in ancient Mesoamerica as being under the patronage of a formidable deity known as the Itztlacoliuhqui, the God of Frost, often associated with coldness, punishment, rigidity, and even blindness, sometimes seen as representing “blindness to the implications” of what others might have to suffer through harsh treatment. This was blatantly and horrifically on display in the US when this trecena was in place right after the Trump 2.0 inauguration.

And looking to the past, this time frame has highlighted many of the key issues associated with the tawdry Trumpian saga over the past few years, going all the way back to 2018 when his ex-campaign manager was found guilty on 8 counts of tax fraud, and his former “fixer” pleaded guilty to a number of other felony charges. In 2020 this was the trecena that brought the start of the dumpster’s first impeachment trial, for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. One cycle after that, in October of that same year, the “super-spreader-in-chief” was either denying Covid or making extremely dangerous claims even as hundreds of thousands of people were dying. This trecena was also in place when he became the first convicted felon to take up residence in the White House.

Traditionally, this trecena’s “God of Frost” patron deity provides a reminder of potential jeopardies that can factor into this period. This deity is sometimes shown holding a broom, which can be read as representing the idea of “sweeping clean” whatever might endanger Germination, in order for new life to emerge. The general idea with regard to this patron is to carefully nurture, but not endanger, new opportunities, because if caution is not exercised, there could be disasterous results. Note that the mythological story of this former Lord of the Dawn tells of him being turned into the God of Frost when the Sun shot an arrow back at him when he tried to engage in a shooting match with the sun. This seems to suggest that anyone who tries to “outshine the sun” during this period should really tread cautiously, or they may find that the sun will shoot back! Ultimately, any attempt to usurp the sun will be monumentally self-defeating.

The second patron aligned with this time frame was known as Black Smoking Mirror, representative of the mysteries of the cosmos and “the fate of the earth”.

In the past many key events have happened during this period that have set trajectories for “the fate of the earth”, as when Napoléon Bonaparte proclaimed himself Emperor of France in 1804, and when Hitler acquired dictatorial powers in 1933, and then became Führer of Germany the following year. But for both of these oppressors this trecena later brought a fateful turn of the tide, as Napoléon was exiled to Elba during this trecena in 1814, and Hitler died at his own hands during this trecena in 1945. At that time the unconditional surrender of the German forces in Italy took place near the end of the trecena, along with the surrender of German forces in Berlin. Other key events during this time frame have included the “Saturday Night Massacre” related to Watergate in 1973, Mikhail Gorbachev’s election as Secretary General of the Soviet Communist Party in 1985, and Barack Obama’s acceptance as the Democratic candidate for the U.S. presidency in 2008.

In the past many leaders have intuitively aligned themselves with that key idea of Germination that is characteristic of this period – jumping in and opening up all sorts of new possibilities, as when the DoJ’s Special Counsel Jack Smith began his federal investigations into the wrongdoings of the then-disgraced, twice-impeached, defeated, former occupant of the White House, five cycles ago. But then, two cycle agos, came the . . . gasp . . . return to the White House of this same individual, by then an officially convicted felon, and many of the DoJ’s still outstanding criminal proceedings (including the classified documents case and the Jan. 6th case) suddenly “disappeared”, with a highly problematic US Supreme Court having been a central factor in this charade.

And now, with the “fate of the earth” still on shakey ground, due to all the chaos and destruction, there is a strong possibility that its “trajectory” could shift once again, dramatically, in keeping with this trecena’s past tendency to foment “big”, highly consequential, events, often involving “high drama” related to “outrageous behaviour”. But it is anyone’s guess as to where and how that shift could happen.

As we move through this period, the Maya day 8 Chuwen, on June 22nd, is of particular importance as this is the most auspicious festival day for K’iche’ Maya daykeepers. This is a sacred day oriented around the renewal of calendar traditions and the initiation of new daykeepers, but traditionally this was seen as a special kind of force aligned with “weaving together” past and future to help the “new entity” (associated with the fate of the world) gain a foothold on the road of life.

When this trecena was in place in January of 2025, at the time of the unthinkable second inauguration of the dumpster, thousands gathered for a “People’s March” rally in Washington DC, with attendees representing a wide range of progressive causes from immigration and democracy to climate change, abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, immigrants and the issue of Israel’s war against Gaza. It was seen as a coalition of advocacy groups, a “call to community” – to push back against the notion of hopelessness, and demoralization, and to “make visible” the resistance. That resistance, that was germinated at that time, has grown significantly since then and is now flourishing!

As we journey through this energy sequence keep in mind that whatever happens will be “planting the seeds”, and providing the groundwork for what is to follow. As always, this is a period when sacrifices may have to be made to make room for new growth and new life. This may well require the abandonment of old ideas in favour of something new, fresh, life-enhancing, and perhaps even untried. As this trecena holds the potential to bring forth surprises it would be a good idea to exercise caution, care, and prudence with regard to whatever one might want to “germinate” at this time. Certainly, with vigilance, anything “planted” and carefully tended at this time could easily “sprout” into something strong and robust. Coldness, recklessness, and “blindness”, on the other hand, could be very, very problematic. Let’s hope that those elements do NOT factor into the so-called “ceasefire” negotiations in the Middle East.

In any case, let’s not forget that essential message from the patrons of this trecena – that if someone tries too hard to outshine the sun, the sun will shoot back. And now that this trecena is bringing us into summer, the sun will be an important factor during this current period. Keep the faith! Here are the energies that are coming into play:

1 K’an (June 15th) – an “initiating” energy associated with germination (or even the creation of new abundance), coinciding with opening of the 52nd G7 Summit, in Évian-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, France, which runs for three days. As protectionist tendencies have been creating profound imbalances that have been threatening the stability of the global economy, leading to major commercial and geopolitical tensions that have hindered shared growth, the priority for this summit is to work on ways to reduce these imbalances. The on-going wars are also of primary concern, and, as summit information states, France’s ambition is to restore the G7’s initial vocation, making it a forum for dialogue between major economic powers, both within and beyond its members themselves. The G7 Presidency will be organized around seven ministerial tracks: foreign affairs, development, trade, finance, the digital sector, the environment and home affairs. This is being held in France as France again took over the G7 Presidency on January 1st of this year.

With Israel still attacking targets in the Middle East (despite a so-called “ceasefire”), with all the uncertainties regarding the US and Iran – and the Strait of Hormuz situation, as well as the fact that the Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for well over four years, this will be a very high-stakes gathering. The fact that the dumpster is now in decline and “desperately flailing” – having left a wake of chaos and destruction behind everything that he’s touched – makes him the wild card once again in this gathering. Itztlacoliuhqui, as noted above, comes to mind in this regard. But by now world leaders have a very good sense of what they’re dealing with.

Note as well that it was a One K’an day in 1858 when Abraham Lincoln accepted the Republican nomination to be Senator for Illinois, when he warned of the problematic nature of a “house divided”. That date was June 16th of that year, Maya date One K’an 17 Wo, very similar to today’s Maya date One K’an 17 Sotz’.

This day is now marking six cycles since President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s impassioned address to British MPs via video feed, the first of his many such addresses to world leaders, as he called for assistance to help defend Ukraine from Russian attacks. Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it has been estimated that there have been well over 1.5 million military and thousands of civilian casualties. (A recent estimate indicated that Russian casualties – through death or wounding – are now running at some 30,000 per month.) In a war that has now lasted longer than the first world war, more than 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced, which as triggered Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II.

2 Chikchan (June 16th) – a “dynamic, vitality-oriented, yin-yan” type of energy associated with lifeforce, at the time of a waxing crescent moon, with Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus close by.

This is an energy often associated with “justice”, now marking four cycles exactly since the first courtroom hearing in the dumpster’s Jan. 6th case, as U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan heard arguments on how to structure a protective order for evidence turned over by prosecutors and addressed the case’s unprecedented mix of legal and political concerns, warning about the limits on what the defendant could publicly say about evidence. At that time the trial was awaiting the Supreme Court decision on the question of presidential immunity.

On that same day two prominent, conservative, legal scholars who had been studying the issue for more than a year published their conclusions that all evidence indicated that Trump “cannot be president — cannot run for president, cannot become president, cannot hold office — unless two-thirds of Congress decides to grant him amnesty for his conduct on Jan. 6.” Whatever happened to all that?

As it happens, this is the 11th anniversary of the day when the dumpster first announced his candidacy for president. If the powers-that-be had actually listened to the conclusions of those two scholars, and applied their conclusions to the rule-of-law, he never would have been allowed to continue on, and everything would have been different by now.

At this time this is World Sea Turtle Day and the International Day of the African Child, which has been celebrated every year since 1991.

This evening marks the start of Islamic New Year celebrations, aka the Hijri New Year, at the time of the first sighting of the waxing crescent moon.

3 Kimi (June 17th) – the “activation of death/absolute foundations”, seen in Maya creation mythology as the day when “the first death” was “invented”, coinciding at this time with the final day of the G7 Summit in France., and the full day of the Islamic New Year, also known as the Arabic New Year, the beginning of the first month in the Islamic calendar which is used to calculate significant Islamic events for the year.

The last time this was in place this energy coincided with a secretive (and bizarre) “emergency” meeting in Virginia of hundreds of top military commanders who had been summoned from their posts all over the world in order to hear a truly demented speech in which the dumpster was trying to push the idea that “dangerous” U.S. cities should be used as military training grounds.

A number of retired military professionals called the whole situation “bullshit craziness”, and “deeply embarassing”, as the orange felon’s speech was full of untruths and was downright insulting, as well as flat out dangerous. Political journalist Lawrence O’Donnell emphasized this in his comment that during that appearance, the dumpster “hallucinated dialogue that has never happened” and “proved that he is mentally incapable and emotionally incapable of fulfilling his constitutional duties as president . . . There is no functioning intelligence, no functioning judgement mechanism in the mind of the current holder of the title ‘president. of the US’ ”. O’Donnell underscored this by saying “This is an emergency for the US and the world”.

In 1934 Hitler became Führer of Germany under this influence and in January of 2020 this was in place on the eve of the start of the dumpster’s first impeachment trial in the US Senate, as the rules for the trial were being discussed. This was also in place in August of 2018 at the time of the death of Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General (the world’s top diplomat for 10 years from 1997-2006) and Nobel Peace prize laureate who was well known for quietly reminding world leaders that they needed to put their duty to their citizens above their own political careers.

Currently this is the 54th Gregorian anniversary of the Watergate break-in that eventually led to President Nixon’s resignation. This is also the 251st anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the first major action of the American Revolutionary war, when inexperienced colonial soldiers held off hardened British troops for more than two hours at Breed’s Hill during the Siege of Boston. Although the battle was a tactical victory for the British, the battle gave the patriots confidence that they could stand up against regular army troops in battle. This may be another good reminder of the “power of the people”.

This is now marking nine cycles exactly since January 2020 when a 35-year old man in Washington state, who had recently returned home after visiting family in Wuhan in China, became the first person in the US to be diagnosed with Covid-19. At that time the first confirmed case was reported in South Korea, and China began warning the world about the coronavirus. This same 3 Kimi energy was in place in 1918 when a U.S. public health report was released about severe cases of influenza (Spanish Flu) that had broken out at an army base in Kansas several days earlier. This became the trigger for the deadliest pandemic in human history.

4 Manik’ (June 18th) – a “defining” type of energy associated with reciprocity and the energy of deer – a kind of harmonizing energy connected with the natural world, but there is also a strong “sacrificial” aspect to it. In combination with the solar energy of the number four, this is a “double sun” type of force, as the deer was seen by the Maya as an embodiment of the sun.

This marks one cycle since the inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum, the former mayor of Mexico City, as Mexico’s first woman president (“La Presidenta”). She replaced her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, promising to continue to build on the “advances” made by Obrador, furthering the human rights programmes that made Obrador so popular.

It also marks two cycles since the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s scathing final report on the election interference case, titled: “Report on Efforts to Interfere with the Lawful Transfer of Power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the electoral college vote held on January 6, 2021”. It appeared that the dumpster had not objected, initially, to any of the facts in the report but tried up to the last minute to stop its release.

Currently this is the day when New York will hold a ticker tape parade to celebrate the New York Knicks basketball win of an NBA title, after a gap of 53 years. New York will be euphoric on this day. This is also Sir Paul McCartney’s 84th birthday.

5 Lamat (June 19th) – a “blessing” type of energy associated with Venus, which can serve as a beacon or herald, coinciding at this time with the official opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.

On the exterior of the Sky Room in that building are Obama’s words:

You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be…The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.

As it happens, this opening is taking place precisely two cycles since U.S. President Joe Biden delivered his farewell address from the Oval office, just prior to the end of his presidency.

This is also Juneteenth in the U.S., known as African American Emancipation Day, commemorating the day in 1865 (161 years ago) when Union soldiers landed at Galveston with news that the U.S. civil war had ended and that slaves were free.

Back in 1987 this was the energy in place when President Reagan warned, in a radio speech, about the dangers of imposing tariffs. In his Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade, he said:

Imposing such tariffs or trade barriers and restrictions of any kind are steps that I am loath to take. And [that is because] over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.

This is currently marking four cycles since the pivotal moment in history when the grand jury in Georgia investigating the dumpster’s attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss handed down a 97 page indictment that named Trump and 18 others in 41 felony counts. Over 160 separate criminal acts were listed relating to the first felony count, related to violation of the RICO Act, detailing who was involved in each act. The RICO documents stated that the defendants “constituted a criminal organization” (ie. a criminal racketeering enterprise). That was when it became known that there was evidence that the dumpster’s team was behind the Georgia voting system breach. Unfortunately this entire case became derailed after Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who was dealing with that case, was targeted by the dumpster-controlled DoJ, in the same kind of “politicizing of the law” gambit that has become commonplace under the current regime.

Five Lamat was also the energy in place in 1968 when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his prophetic speech about being a “drum major for peace”.

Over in Europe – this is the day when a ceasefire signing ceremony between the US and Iran is scheduled to be held in Switzerland, if the deal made between the US and Iran just as this trecena was coming into place “holds”. However, given the changeable, and inflammable, nature of all parties involved, it remains to be seen whether this will actually move forward, particularly since the deal requires Israel to stop attacking Lebanon. As this was the energy in place nine cycles ago (in January of 2020) when the dumpster made his first public comment regarding the coronavirus by saying that they had it “totally under control”, one can safely conclude that this so-called signing (or a “peaceful” aftermath) is not something one can confidently bet on.

In Amsterdam, Netherlands, this is the opening of the 7th International Conference on Gender, Sexuality and Diversity Studies.

6 Muluk (June 20th) – the energy of the six directions in conjunction with the purifying or shape-shifting energy of water, marking nine Tzolk’in cycles since the city of Wuhan, the most populous city in Central China, was first put under quarantine lockdown (in the biggest lockdown in world history at that point, in January 2020) in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

It has now been 11 cycles since August of 2018 when Paul Manafort, the dumpster’s ex-campaign manager, was found guilty on 8 counts of tax fraud, and (in another court) the dumpster’s former “fixer” Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to a number of other felony charges, one of which implicated the dumpster as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in campaign finance violations. Both were sentenced to prison. Michael Cohen was a key witness in the hush money trial which played out throughout this trecena two cycles ago, which resulted in the dumpster being found guilty on 34 felony counts.

Currently this is World Refugee Day, an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe, millions of whom have been made homeless by those dreadful wars.

7 Ok (June 21st) – translating as “self-generating” love, guidance, and/or loyalty, this energy is coinciding with Father’s Day and with the Summer Solstice, and the various celebrations associated with it. This is the longest day and shortest night of the year. In conjunction with the solstice, this is World Peace and Prayer Day (Honoring Sacred Sites), which encourages people of all faiths and all nations to pray for the planet.

This is also
• National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, the 29th anniversary of the national celebration of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis culture and heritage .

• World Music Day, celebrated by more than 120 countries, inspired by the Fête de la Musique annual music festival in France. This is a major platform to highlight music in all its diversity, and to help musicians showcase their talents.
• the start of Lightning Safety Awareness Week, that runs through to June 27th.
• the UN’s 12th International Day of Yoga, with this year’s theme being “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”
• 238 years since New Hampshire became the ninth and final state needed to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1788
• Prince William’s 44th birthday

This energy is now marking 13 cycles since the dramatic hearing before the US House Intelligence Committee in early 2017 when former FBI Director James Comey told that committee for the first time that the FBI was investigating the possible collusion between the dumpster’s campaign and Moscow – the first time a seated president had been under FBI investigation. Three cycles later (in 2019) Comey agreed with the findings of hundreds of prosecutors from both parties that the factual details contained in the Mueller report (about that Russia connection) would be grounds for indicting the dumpster on multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice. This would appear to point to a key motive behind the dumpster’s current revenge indictment against Comey – the “sea shell” indictment – which is essentially another “vindictive prosecution” situation, which legal analysts are saying is sure to be thrown out.

Note as well that 7 Ok was in place at the time of the first Watergate-related convictions, when two high level operatives associated with the Watergate break-in were convicted of conspiracy, burglary, and illegal wiretapping. This was the beginning of the unravelling that led to President Nixon’s resignation.

8 Chuwen, aka 8 Batz’ (June 22nd) associated with the “resurrection” of play, creativity, and “time weaving”, this is the highly auspicious 8 Batz’ day, when K’iche’ Maya daykeepers celebrate the renewal of their sacred calendar traditions and initiate new daykeepers. This day marks 19 Tzolk’in cycles since 12:12:12 (Dec. 12, 2012), just before the completion of the last Great Cycle of 5,125 Gregorian years on Dec. 21, 2012.

This is the start of National Insect Week in the UK and Europe. The issue of declining insects across the planet will likely be given considerable attention at this time. This is also the start of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, a major creative marketing communications industry event. (June 22-26)

9 Eb’ (June 23rd) – “outward projecting stream of consciousness”, or “outward projecting road”, an energy that could also translate as “immortal healing”, as was in place two cycles ago on President Biden’s last full day in office.

This is the publication day for a new book called Regime Change, which covers the first year of the dumpster’s second term, and details many of the critical issues associated with it, including fears within the White House about the release of further Epstein files.

This is Supreme Court Justice Thomas’s 78th birthday. Last year he was under a great deal of scrutiny as information has come out pertaining to his acceptance of luxury vacations funded by a wealthy Republican donor, over many years. This prompted calls for stricter regulations to deal with ethics issues pertaining to members of the Supreme Court itself.

In Paris, this is the opening of Menswear Fashion Week, that runs to June 28th.

In parts of Ukraine and western Slavic regions, this evening brings forth Kupala Night.

This has traditionally been a night of dancing, tree decorating, bonfires, special foods, and other forms of celebration associated with the longest day and shortest night of the year. It is one of the biggest summer celebrational events in many European countries, symbolic of the birth of the summer sun (Kupalo), at which time “impure forces” are burned in ritual bonfires. Water, fire, and herbs all play an important role in the rituals and celebrations at this time. This symbolic “birth” of the summer sun ties in with the ancient idea of fire having “fertilizing power” – an idea that can also be found in ancient Mesoamerica. It was thought that jumping over a bonfire would help to secure good fortune.

10 B’en (June 24th) – “foundational personal authority”; symbolic of the full authority of maize, this is a strong “pillar” type of energy representative of strength, inner power, and self determination, marking two cycles since the “day of infamy” inauguration of a deranged convicted felon/sex offender as a U.S. president, at the start of what has proven to be a reign of both insanity and vindictive terror. It was seen as the start of a new era of government lawlessness, as the “dictator on Day I” declared war on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in the US and began slashing government programs.

Note that in the spring of 1945 this was the energy in place when Hitler committed suicide, two days after the fascist dictator Mussolini was executed by firing squad. In 1973 this was the energy in place at the time of the “Saturday Night Massacre” related to Watergate, and nine cycles ago (in January of 2020) the sham of an impeachment trial was taking place in the US after the horrendous coup attempt.

Three cycles before that, in August of 2018, the Trump administration cancelled more than $200 million in aid for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, and shortly thereafter ended funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency, the main UN program that provided assistance for Palestinian refugees. Shortly after that they cut funding to Palestinian hospitals.

Seven cycles ago (in 2021) this energy brought not only the filing of tax related criminal charges against the Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg, but also approval of the resolution to form a select committee to investigate the January 6th insurrection. Eight cycles ago (October 2020), this energy brought the release of Totally Under Control, a documentary that highighted the gross failure, mismanagement, and incompetence of the dumpster White House with regard to the pandemic.

Currently this is the day of Inti Raymi, the Inca Festival of the Sun that takes place in Cusco, Peru, when a great ceremony is held to honour the Sun God and Pachamama (Mother Earth)

This is also:

• International Fairy Day
• Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day in Quebec, the Fête Nationale du Québec
• the 45th anniversary of the purported appearance of the Virgin Mary at Medjugorje (Bosnia-Hercegovina) to six children in 1981.
• the 76th anniversary of the US-ROK (South Korea) Alliance, which was signed the day before North Korea’s invasion of the south in 1950.
• the fourth anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s highly controversial overturning of the Roe v. Wade decision from 1973, with the June 2022 decision precipitating a major crisis in terms of abortion rights and access to health care for women in the U.S.
• rock drummer Mick Fleetwood’s 79th Gregorian birthday.

11 Ix (June 25th) – “inspirational magic” in conjunction with the jaguar and the mysteries of the earth, coinciding at this time with the “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall in Washington. However, because this is associated with the White House, many performers have dropped out of the event.

This marks exactly three cycles since Day 12 of the 2024 hush money trial, that began with a strong warning from Judge Merchan that, after ten $1000 fines for violations of the gag order, jail time for Trump would be the next step for any further violations. Seven cycles ago (in 2021) this was the energy in place when 15 tax related criminal indictments, including “staggering” federal fraud, conspiracy, and grand larceny charges against the Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg were unsealed in a New York court.

Nine cycles ago (in January of 2020) this was in place when the dumpster’s legal team made their final arguments in the second week of the impeachment trial – a trial where witnesses were not allowed to testify even though 75% of registered voters (bipartisan) thought testimony from witnesses should have been allowed. That was the day when Israel’s attorney-general filed a formal indictment in court against Prime Minister Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

When this energy was in place on the first full day of dumpster 2.0 in January of 2025, some 1500 convicted rioters (including 211 violent offenders who had been imprisoned for their roles in the insurrection) were set free after being pardoned by the dumpster the day before.

In 44 BC, Julius Caesar was appointed dictator for life under this influence. A few weeks later he was assassinated.

This is also marking the 150th anniversary of the start of Custer’s 2-day “Last Stand” at the Battle of Little Big Horn, which resulted in a decisive victory for Native Americans during the Great Sioux war of 1876.

12 Men (June 26th) – a “gathering together” type of energy associated with the high vision of the Eagle, coinciding with the 81st anniversary of the signing of the charter of the United Nations and the establishment of the International Court of Justice, the World Court, located in The Hague. These days their work is cut out for them!

This is marking nine cycles exactly since that day in January of 2020 when the head of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme said that the “whole world needs to be on alert” with regard to Covid-19. At that point entire cities in China were under shutdown but it was being downplayed in the U.S. by Trump 1.0.

This is also National Take Your Dog to Work Day, celebrated in many countries since 1999, and the start of Toronto’s Pride Festival weekend.

13 Kib’ (June 27th) – a transformation-oriented energy aligned with the ability to “fly high”, survey, and ultimately restore order, although this intense force can also bring forth great change. This is now coinciding with Canadian Multiculturalism Day which provides opportunities to honour and celebrate cultural diversity in Canada.

This is also Armed Forces Day in the UK, the final day of Lightning Safety Awareness week, and the first of two days for San Francisco’s Pride parade. In addition, this is coinciding with the observance of Kuan Kung’s birthday in Taiwan. Aka Guan Gong or Guan Yu, Kuan Kung is seen as a defender of the people, a kind of benefic warlord known as a great and righteous protector, able to deflect all negative energy. He needs to be called in now to neutralize all the negativity that is so greatly disturbing world order at this time – including in the war zones.

Note that Kib’ is an energy that can often prompt people to think differently, with 13 Kib’ often pushing particularly hard, often compelling people to take some kind of direct action. That was certainly the case nine cycles ago, at the end of January 2020, when the WHO declared a global health emergency with regard to the coronavirus outbreak, as the virus had spread across China, from the epicentre in Wuhan to at least 16 countries globally, including Thailand, France, the US and Australia. It was the beginning of a global catastrophe that has taken the lives of over 7 million people.

When this was in place two cycles ago, the dumpster declared a global trade war, and his Department of “Justice” ordered its civil rights division to halt new cases, further signalling his administration’s hostility against racial and gender equality.
