This is the "Care and feeding
of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of January 25th 2014
for 1 - "ah-how" in the
Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the beginning of the Chinese year of the Green
Wood Horse, the Aquarius new moon, Mercury moving into Pisces, Venus turning
direct, and Mercury turning retrograde.
January
25th 2014 for 1 -
"ah-how" which carries the themes of honoring ancestors, flowers, light, ascension, co-creation,
unconditional love, enlightenment, opening up to new possibilities and
beginnings, wholeness, and the awakening to miracles. I love that flowers is
one of the symbols of Ahau, because the name Patanjali, the author of the Yoga
Sutras, means one who casts flowers through time, which a quality of Ahau is
the ancestors casting their wisdom through time. Ahau is considered to be one
of the most sacred of days, because life would not exist on the Earth without
the warmth and light of the Sun. Being both a wave and a particle, light
transcends form. This 13
day period is about shining light on any uncertainty, honoring our ancestors,
and taking time to purify our light to heal our spirits and Mother Earth.
During the Ahau trecena we enter February which
is the second month and with the digits for 2014, when added together we get 9,
then we have a nine month in numerology. Basic numerology reduces numbers to
one through nine, so when we think about that arc the 9 represents a time of
completion. Although the numerology in January and February 2014 repeat
November and December 2013 with January being an eight month and February being
a nine month, so this is actually the completion cycle that leads to the new
cycle beginning in March. Which in astrology the new year begins in March with
the Vernal Equinox. As a nine month, February 2014 is about tasks and projects
that were initiated since April of last year, and anything that is no longer
needed is wrapped up and moved out of the way of the new cycle. This also
brings the energy that what was begun must be completed. So this month is a
time to tie up loose ends so we clean our plate for something new as events
begin to give us hints about a new direction to take. February is about
clearing out the old people, places, and things that no longer are of benefit, to
make room for their new counterparts which will emerge in March. The nine is
represented by the Hermit archetype in the Tarot cards, which is also about
completion, contemplation, and introspection. This is the archetype of the wise
lantern barer. The way shower whose life experience guides others through
similar passages. Another thing I find interesting
about this year is we have two new moons in January, none in February, and
another two new moons in March. This sets powerful new energies in motion that
require the numerological nine month of February to release the old, worn out,
whether it's aspects of self, life situations, attitudes that no longer work,
or concepts, beliefs, or perceptions that have out grown their usefulness. 2014 when added
together become seven, so as a seven year there is emphasis on the inner
aspects of awareness, strength, wisdom and knowledge. The seven in the Tarot is
the Chariot, so 2014 is a Chariot year, which is about finding our stillness
even as we are in motion. Taoist philosophy remarks that change is successful
when "the great rooted tree by the flowing river" is combined within
the natural setting. Given that we are in the midst of great global and
individual transformation, the Chariot reminds us to incorporate equal
proportions of contemplation and quietude in 2014. Something that I find
interesting is we are entering into the Chinese new year of the Green Wood
Horse. Typically what pulls the Chariot? A horse.
During this trecena we
have the Chinese new year of the Green Wood Horse. Actually the Chinese have
two beginnings. The lunar (yin) beginning is the 31st, and the solar (yang)
beginning February 4th. So in January we are wrapping up the year of the Black
Water Snake. Horse years are about change, building or rebuilding, making new
friends and leaving worn out alliances behind, changing our image. They bring
industry and social gatherings to an all out gallop. This is very busy energy
bringing a flurry of activity. Dragons and Horses are auspicious to the
Chinese, as the Dragon is the best flyer and the Horse is the best runner.
Horses are a symbol of traveling, competition, and victory, and connected with
speedy success to the Chinese. Horse is also the non-conformist, which will
inspire people to act independently. Wood is community oriented, but with Horse
this is like the prodigal son, who leaves home early but then returns to take
care of the parents, when they are elderly. Green gives a focus on living things.
I picture this as a group of maverick horses charging across the open plains.
They are social but also unique. This brings a focus on resolving problems in a
quick, direct manner that abhors wishy-washy people. The year of the Horse is a
time of adventure, excitement, victory, and surprising romances, which includes
bolting from them as well. We might expect the global economy to get stronger
as industrial manufacturing will be on the rise, or economic chaos and collapse
such as the Yellow Earth Horse year of 1918 with World War One, or the Great
Depression of 1930 during a White Metal Horse year. 1966 was a Red Fire Horse
year with social unrest and uprisings in the United States, and the peak of the
Cultural Revolution in China. Basically there is no middle ground in Horse
years. 1954 was the last Wood Horse year, the US had been experiencing the
"Second Red Scare" since 1950, which under the leadership of Senator
Joseph McCarthy, made accusations of disloyalty, subversion, and treason
without proper regard for evidence. During that Wood Horse year there were
events like the "See It Now" documentary of journalist Edward R
Murrow and Fred W Friendly, showing the maverick qualities of the horse with
"A Report on Senator Joseph McCarthy" and later in the Year of the
Wood Horse, Joseph Welch of the special counsel for the United States Army,
lashed out at Senator McCarthy during hearings on whether Communism had
infiltrated the Army saying "Have you, at long last, no decency?",
after McCarthy's hearing on the U.S. Army being "soft" on Communism.
Followed by the United States Senate voting 67-22 to condemn Joseph McCarthy
for "conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and
disrepute", which emphasizes the Horse year's energy for change that comes
from leaving worn out alliances behind. U.S president Dwight Eisenhower warned
against intervention in Vietnam, but later in the Horse year gives his
"domino theory" speech during a news conference. The French battled
against the Viet Mihn in Dien Bien Phu Vietnam, which after two months ends in
the defeat of the French troops and the Geneva Conference sending French forces
south and Vietnamese forces north of the ceasefire line which eventually leads
to the establishment of the regimes of North Vietnam and South Vietnam, also
beginning the Korean Cold War between communist North and capitalist South. The
U.S. tests a hydrogen bomb, Castle Bravo at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific
Ocean and the Soviet Union test fires a thermonuclear bomb for the first time. Again
we see the Horse energy changing alliances, in this case between two allies in
World War II. The CIA engineers a military coup in Guatemala which triggers a
bloody civil war that lasts for more than 35 years. The Muslim Brotherhood
attempted to kill Gamal Abdel Nasser during the Green Horse year, later in
1954, when the Egyptian president is deposed Nasser replaces him. Horse years
are pioneering and the last Wood Horse year had the first mass vaccinations of
children, RCA manufactures the first color TV set, the first televised prize
fight in color, Bill Haley and his Comets record "Rock Around the
Clock" starting the rock and roll craze, The Nautilus, the first nuclear
powered submarine is commissioned into the U.S. Navy and put to sea, the
Unification Church is founded in South Korea, Brown vs. the Board of Education
is heard by the U.S. Supreme Court which determines segregation as being
unconstitutional, food rationing in Great Britain ends 14 years after it began
early in World War II, Italian mountaineers are the first to summit K2 in the
Himalayan Mountains, the first issue of "Sports Illustrated" is
published, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization is established, the first
television broadcast of the Miss America pageant, "Lord of the Flies"
is published, development of the first commercial transistor radio, the first
"Godzilla" film premiers in Tokyo, the first successful kidney
transplant surgery, the first electric drip coffee maker invented in Germany,
and the TV dinner was introduced. This is a lot of social cultural change which
is the theme of Wood Horse years, along with taking action, traveling, and
executive decisions to bring success through freedom, passion, and leadership.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1- Sun,
on the 25th all the planets
appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Venus and Jupiter,
which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. Venus retrograde in Capricorn brings the planet
of esthetics, romance, and money to remain in the sign of the goat-fish for
four months. Venus moved through its shadow
period since November 20th when it crossed the point where it will
eventually turn direct and remained in the shadow prior to turning retrograde
on December 21st, where we received information about needing to adjust our
direction. Venus turned retrograde on the Winter Solstice December 21st, at 28
and change almost 29 degrees of Capricorn and
continues to appear to be moving in reverse until January 31st at 13 Capricorn,
which is the time when we will notice events related to our relationships
and/or money that shifts our thinking to prepare us for the change we will
implement after Venus is direct. Also Venus retrograde brings people from our past
pulling at our heartstrings. Jupiter was the king of the gods, and the planet is about good
fortune, opportunities, faith, religion, beliefs and expansion. Cancer is about
family, home, nurturing, and protection. Mostly what I find with Jupiter
retrograde, as with any retrograde cycle there is a review of the past, and
with Jupiter what gets reviewed are missed opportunities. In Cancer these are
likely to be related to home and family. When I think of these two retrogrades
in concert in at the beginning of the Ahau 13 day period, we may have folks
reviewing their past relationships for missed opportunities. Because Venus also
rules money we'll be reviewing past financial dealings with an eye for choices
that did not work out as planned. Overall something from the past needs to be
resolved as we are moving into a nine month in numerology in February, whether
it's love relationships, or financial connections, and in Capricorn, we need to
be committed to our resolution. Overall I think the trap to watch out for is
regret. The past is the past, so let go of regrets and try not to waste much
thought on whether someone who has dumped you in the past, regrets their
choice. I think those without regrets tend to be shallow people and if you were
tossed aside by one of them, they probably did you a favor, but with Mars in
Libra, some will aggressively pursue those partners that they regret losing.
The big change for
this trecena is that Mercury turns retrograde February 6th and later turns
direct on the 28th, so most of the month would be a good time to avoid signing
contracts or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a
new job. If you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much
clearer after Mercury is moving direct. Mercury retrogrades force us to slow
down and pay more attention to our lives by making us focus on the details of
our daily experience. When looking at a retrograde cycle of any of the personal
or inner planets, it provides information about a correction to our present
course. During this report period we have Mercury beginning to travel through
the first stage of the retrograde process on 1/22.
There are two important points to be aware of in looking at the cycle. We look
at the point where the planet appears to move backwards
and the point where it appears to move forward again.
The first stage represents the shadow time between passing 18 degrees Aquarius,
the point where the planet will eventually begin moving forward again and the
point where the planet slows, stops, and begins moving in reverse, 3 degrees
Pisces. During the first stage we receive information about needing to adjust
our direction. The second stage is the
retrograde phase and is a time to watch the events that occur related to the
information received in the 1st stage. The 3rd stage
begins when the planet is moving forward again until crossing the line where it
originally turned retrograde. During the 3rd stage we move forward with a
revision to our previous course. We will entered the 1st stage for Mercury on January
22nd, so from then until February 6th, we are receiving information about an
adjustment that needs to be made in our lives. Mercury
is retrograde from 2/6 at 3 Pisces until 2/28 at 18 Aquarius which will
be the time when we will notice events that shift our thinking, and from February
28th to March 20th, we are in the 3rd stage
where we implement the change in direction from the awareness gained through
experiencing this process. I'll go into even more detail about Mercury and the
trickster during the 1 - Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn trecena
report.
Ok let's look
at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. January 25th 2014 for 1 - "ah-how" : unity experienced through honoring the wisdom and memory of
our ancestors, while we have Mercury square Saturn which favors heavy mental
contemplating that requires disciplined thinking, a sharper mind and higher
standard for quality. But it also brings difficulty in communicating and being
understood by others. Not the best time for any type of negotiations, with
folks misinterpreting each other, so I'd delay business dealings for a day or
two. This is also a time when people are more likely to withdraw and feel
lonely. The gift of this passage is it increases our ability to think
practically, but we also see the imperfections and flaws. Just remember Saturn
is in Scorpio, so make sure you've done your research before speaking with
authority, otherwise you may find yourself receiving some sort of censure, as the Scorpio Moon merges with
Saturn and then is challenged by Mercury at 8:55am EST, so from then until
10:13 pm EST when it moves into Sagittarius, the moon is Void of Course. This
energetic moves from wanting to be alone in our thoughts and
feelings while our moods influencing our ability to think rationally, then from
8:55 am to 10:13 pm avoiding major decisions or purchases, but is good to use
for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences. The 26th
is 2 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: duality experienced through nurturing new beginnings, as the Sagittarius
Moon is challenged by Neptune, harmonizes with the Sun, and finds support from
Uranus. Which moves from bringing our dreams into the day's vibration,
to feelings of inner and outer equanimity, and finally having the impulse to
engage in activities that make us feel more alive. January 27th
is 3 - Ik "eek" or Wind:
taking action through communication,
while the
Moon in Sagittarius in harmony with Mars and
Mercury, which moves from having the desire to work independently
from others, to lots of chatting with friends, neighbors, coworkers... The 28th
is 4 - Akbal "awk-bol"
or Night: stability through contemplating the stars, while the
Capricorn Moon harmonizes with Neptune, is challenged by Uranus, merges with
Pluto and Venus, and is opposed by Jupiter. Which brings an energetically busy
day
moving from being very sensitive to the moods of others, to people are likely
to act hasty and jump to conclusions, then we have more intense moods rising to
the surface from deep in our psyches, while having feelings of generosity, and
finally feeling cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and
socialize. January 29th
is 5 - Kan "con" or Seed
or Lizard: empowerment through planting seeds and making new connections, with the Aquarius Sun sextile
Uranus makes the day more interesting,
from our encounters with others being more illuminating, to enlightened
experiences while moving through our normal routine. This stimulates our
curiosity and imaginations. Folks are quick witted and conversations are lively,
but they also may be less tolerant of any restrictions. Under this influence
it's more important to be true to your authentic individual self, than meeting
other people's expectations, as the Moon is Capricorn harmonizes with
Saturn and is challenged by Mars, which brings realistic expectations through
being calm and reflective, while people are feeling irritable which could lead
to needless disputes. The 30th is 6 - Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent:
being in the flow through being
flexible, as we have the second New Moon of the month also known as the Black
Moon, this time in the
sign of Aquarius, as it
harmonizes with Uranus, and merges with the Sun. Aquarius illuminates social
justice, impartiality, freedom, individuality, and innovation. Ruled by Uranus,
which is the only other heavenly body other than the Sun making a major angle
in the lunation, this new moon represents pleasant yet restless feelings
craving emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine, at a
time of new beginnings. New
Moons bring the opportunity to set an intension for manifestation on the
following full moon. Look to the house of your astrology chart that contains 10
degrees 55 minutes of Aquarius to consider what area of your life is being
activated by this new moon. For me that would be my eighth house of
transformation, death and rebirth, so I would set an intension related to using
this energy to go into greater depths regarding my spiritual path and with
Uranus involved I will want to be open to unexpected and surprising influences
that reveal new information, perhaps regarding something outside my comfort
zone. This New Moon is particularly potent for make big changes through taking
a leap of faith leading us deeper into 2014, as the Chinese Year of the Horse shoots
out of the starting gate. Remember February 2014 is a nine month in numerology,
indicating that we need to clean house, as part of the new beginning
particularly letting go as we move towards the Full Moon on February 14th. January
31st is 7 - Cimi
"key-mee" or Transformation: reflection through releasing what no longer serves us,
while
Mercury moves into Pisces which brings our minds
and communications into the realm of psychic revelations. Because Mercury turns
retrograde on February 6th it will back into Aquarius and return to the fishes
in March. While in Pisces will be a time period with strong spiritual
undercurrents and otherworldly realizations, but also brings great confusion. Look
for world news and personal events involving water. This will be a time of
completions as Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac. Venus
appears to be stopped at the end of the month prior to appearing to turn direct or in forward motion from the perspective
on Earth, in the sign of Capricorn, which brings
the planet of esthetics, romance, and money to remain in the sign of the
goat-fish for four months. When a planet is stopped it is said to be at the
peak of its power. Venus moved through its shadow period from November 20th
to December 21st last year, when it crossed the point where it is currently
turning direct, when we received information about needing to adjust our
direction. Venus has been retrograde from the Winter Solstice December 21st, at
28 and change almost 29 degrees of Capricorn
until January 31st at 13 Capricorn, which has been the time when we notice
events related to our relationships and/or money that shifts our thinking to
prepare us for the change we will implement after Venus is direct. Venus will
take a few days to build momentum in moving forward again, which highlights the
implementation of our new cosmic course correction until March 4th, that is
based on the information and experiences during the Venus retrograde cycle.
This will likely come as a calling from the heart to flow with major energy
shifts, and in Capricorn it may be connected to business, career or
relationships related to these environments. Also on January 31st Jupiter is opposed by Pluto which begins Jupiter's
interaction with the Uranus Pluto square to exactitude for the second time and
building towards the Grand Cross in April during the third such alignment. This
can seem like the completion of a long drive towards success or power, but it
brings an important caution, because there is resistance from unseen and powerful
forces. This is a time to follow your strategy and authority very closely if
you've had a Human Design reading, to move through this time with relative
ease, as opposed to folks who will try to think their way through something the
mind can't grasp and only detriments. People can become ruthless in their
desire to get ahead, under this Jupiter Pluto tug of war. The influence will
last a few days before and after the 31st. This is a time where there are
difficulties with the law and even arrests, so this will be important to watch
local and world events as people will provoke authorities with very unfavorable
consequences. This also indicates the possibility of fanatical or obsessive
behavior, where folks are certain they are right and unwilling to consider another
point of view. Self righteousness will abound. This day can go either way from
making a power play or being the victim of one. The best way to navigate this
energy is to work for the best interest of others, for the highest good, but
recognize that beliefs can change so be open to considering other opinions. Also on the 31st the
Moon is challenged by Saturn, harmonizes
with Mars, and merges with Mercury, which moves from people feeling lonely or isolated, while having
the desire to work independently from others, and then later positive energy
for integrating our thoughts and moods. February 1st is 8 man-eek" : balance
through being of service to others, as the Pisces Moon
merges with Neptune, finds support from Jupiter, and is in harmony with Pluto
and Venus. They day moves from feelings of empathy for those around us,
including the possibility of clairvoyance and telepathic experiences for those
of us who are sensitive by nature, to later people having a pleasant sense of
wellbeing, while experiencing deep emotions on a profound level, and finally wanting
to be with friends and the people we love. February 2nd is 9 - Lamat
"la-maught" or Star
or Rabbit: patience experienced through being grateful for abundant
relationships, while the Pisces Moon finds support from Saturn, and
then is VOC from 11:35 am EST to 11:55 pm EST when it enters Aries. The day's
energy moves from having a more sober and realistic view of life, and then for
over 12 hours does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use
for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences. The 3rd
is 10 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: manifestation through appreciating creation, with the
Aries Moon merging with Uranus, and challenged by Jupiter, Pluto, and Venus,
which people feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly
and unexpectedly, then benevolent and generous feelings for those in our
immediate environment, and having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be
good for us in the long run, to finally pleasant energy for being with the
others we want to know better. February 4th is 11 - Oc "awk" or Dog: resolution through enjoying family and friends, while the
Moon in Aries harmonizes with the Sun and is opposed by Mars, the day moves
from feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds, to opposed by Mars
which influences people to be more excitable and irritable which can cause
problems in our personal lives. The 5th is 12 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: understanding through creating something new, while the Taurus
Moon harmonizes with Mercury and Neptune which goes from being very social and
chatty, to being very sensitive to the moods of others. February 6th is 13 - Eb
"eb" or Road :
movement to the next stage serving
your community, while we have Mercury
turning retrograde at 3 degrees Pisces. Even folks who don't follow
astrology are aware of Mercury's retrograde effect on communication, technology
and travel. This begins a time that shifts our review of information below the
surface, with a focus on the deeper Piscean themes of illusion, deception,
imagination, adaptability and forgiveness, until it return to Aquarius on the
12th. From the 6th to the 28th would be a good time to avoid signing contracts
or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a new job. If
you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much clearer after
Mercury is moving direct. While
the
first quarter Moon in Taurus harmonizes with Jupiter, finds support from Pluto
and Venus, is challenged by the Sun, and opposed by Saturn. The lunar influence
goes from feeling in the flow and having a sense of wholeness, to Pluto
bringing out intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors
sexual relationships, then enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions,
later we encounter challenges to our daily routines, and finally feeling lonely
and isolated.
So no matter what energies are affecting you
during this 1 Sun trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by
being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being
conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone
you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us.
We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take
some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a
spiritual being having a human experience.
