We are advancing rapidly to the end of another Tzolkin cycle. This week we began both a new uinal (20-day cycle) on Sunday, and a new trecena (13-day cycle) this past Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

There are 13 uinals and 20 trecenas. The uinals always begin with Imix\/Crocodile days and end with Ahau\/Sun days. <\/p>\n

To understand the meaning of the uinal cycles, we look at the ending Ahau day. This is not as simple as 1-2-3, because the 20 glyphs and 13 numbers rotate together like two differently sized, interlocking gears — and this leaves a remainder of 7 days.<\/p>\n

Thus the Ahau days run through the tzolkin starting with 7 Ahau, then 1 Ahau, and then 8 Ahau followed by 2, 9, 3, 10, 4, 11, 5, 12, 6 and finally 13 Ahau. The numbers take on qualifying functions rather than quantitative. <\/p>\n

Each uinal has characteristic themes and feelings and events that grow and evolve through each round of the tzolkin. Once you start putting some attention on these cycles in your own life, patterns will emerge to help you evolve past negative habits and areas of your psyche that may be stuck.<\/p>\n

So we are in the tenth uinal cycle, and it ends on the day 5 Ahau — which happens to be the 4th of July this year. At least this holiday will feel really like a day of rest and relaxation. The quality of this entire uinal is affected by the number 5. Five is usually a great energy for love and for seeing life from a higher-plane perspective.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are good things happening in the world but they are disguised as serious tragedies — like the Sunni insurgents the U.S. has been arming in Syria suddenly overrunning a third of Iraq. This happened so fast last week (starting on the Full Moon of 9 Tijax\/Flint Knife) that the U.S. media is flabbergasted and can’t believe that Bush and Co. were so wrong about what the 2003 invasion would eventually bring about.<\/p>\n

The good news is that as Americans wake up to our folly, we can muster the willpower to kick out any remaining war hawks — hopefully including Hillary Clinton. Her vote for the war and unwavering support for all Bush’s transgressions make her unfit to lead our country as President, IMHO!<\/p>\n

On a smaller scale, Tuesday June 17, 2014, began a new trecena with 1 Akabal\/Night. Akabal is a great day to dream the future and work on your dream house. <\/p>\n

This trecena ends on 13 Tzikin\/Eagle, June 29, 2014 which happens to be Ramadan.<\/a> 13 Eagle is epitomized by the Great Seal of the U.S.A. that has an eagle holding 13 Arrows. With the 4th of July just five days later, it is almost too ironic. (Don’t ‘cha think?)<\/p>\n

The Summer Solstice lands on 5 Quej\/Deer, so this should be a time of compassionate love and enhanced psychic activity. Another Summer of Love coming up? I hope so!<\/p>\n

On a lighter note, my own tzolkin birthday glyph, 12 Ix, the Jaguar, is on July 28 this year. The universe has a way of granting me gifts on that day. One of the cool things about the Maya calendar is that you get to have many more birthdays to celebrate! <\/p>\n

More than that, understanding the tzolkin calendar aids your spiritual development and evolution to higher states of awareness. It is our birthright as dwellers on “Turtle Island” to live in sacred time all the time. My offering to you as a Daykeeper shaman is to help you get on this road. May you walk in peace!<\/p>\n

Until next week,<\/p>\n

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!<\/em><\/p>\n
