This is the "Care and feeding
of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of December 30th 2013
for 1 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar in
the
Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also the Capricorn new moon, and Mercury moving into Aquarius.
December 30th 2013
for 1 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar which carries the
themes of shamanism, earth magic, strength and intellect, spirit of the
jungles, gratitude, speed and stealth, Mother Nature, feminine and feline
energy, mysticism, and expansion of consciousness. The Jaguar represents the primal spiritual force that inhabits all of us. To the
Maya the Jaguar’s spotted coat represents the Milky Way Galaxy. The Maya also
refer to the Milky Way the "White Boned Serpent: Wakan Chan " and the
"path in the sky to the center of the universe: Kuxan Suum." This 13
day cycle is about exposing our dark spots to the light and being transformed.
This is a time to release fear so we can be in our intuition and also to turn
our attention and actions to taking care of our planet and our bodies.
January is the first month and with the digits
for 2014, when added together we get 8, then we have an eight month in
numerology. Basic numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we
think about that arc the 8 represents a time of picking up the pace as we are
preparing to complete the cycle next month. This can also bring revisions to
financial situations, businesses, investments, and industry. The eight is represented
by the Justice/Adjustment archetype in the Tarot cards, which is about finding
balance in our path to know ourselves. This also brings the energy that what is
begun must be completed. 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, the new cycle actually beings in March. Which in
astrology the new year begins in March with the Vernal Equinox. So this month is a time to tie up loose ends
so that we clean our plate for something new as events begin to give us hints
about a new direction to take. January and also February are about clearing out
the old people, places, and things to make room for their new counterparts
which will emerge in March. 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. The Chariot in the Tarot cards 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 that we're about to enter into the Chinese new year of the Green Wood Horse.
Typically what pulls the Chariot? A horse.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1 - Ix
"eesh" or Jaguar, January brings a fair amount of chaos as the month
begins. Venus is retrograde in Capricorn and Mars in Libra opposes Uranus and
squares Pluto. I'm hoping by this point we are well aware of our value as
individuals and can share our gifts so we can flow with the rapid unexpected
changes of our journey into 2014. Mars is in its detriment in Libra because it
is opposite Aries, the sign of Martian rulership, and is traditionally considered to have difficulty operating
positively in Libra. Because of its retrograde cycle Mars will spend 8 months
in the sign of the scales. Typically Mars spends two months in a
sign so this placement for most of the year is uncomfortable and monotonous.
Mars agitates and in Libra it's about relationships and can lead to social
anger. This may cause us to see an increase in passive aggression, which I
personally despise. Mars has been in Libra for most of December and I've
already seen folks competing for love. They are willing to fight for a partner.
People are becoming aggressive in their quest for romantic love. We've spoken over the past reports about the Uranus Pluto
square's energy to transform power structures through the rebellious actions of
individuals, with Mars, the god of war, joining the party, it's going to get
even more aggressive in April when we will have a Grand Cross with Pluto in
Capricorn, Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, and Mars in Libra all at 13
degrees. This will be of particular interest in the United States because it
exactly aligns with the July 4th 1776 Cancer Sun of the U.S. natal chart. It's
important to realize that the planets in transit seek balance, and only do
damage to that which is out of balance. For instance Pluto in Capricorn since
2008, is about bringing balance back to power structures. So the planet of
transformation wants to restore balance to governments, corporations and the
banking system. All of which are in great need of rebalancing. In January we
are adding Mars, the warrior archetype, to the mix as he dances not only with
Uranus and Pluto, but also with Mercury and the Sun at the beginning of the
month. Mars, who prefers to be overt in his expression of aggression, is not
happy in Libra which seeks balance and harmony in relationships and social
situations. He is gritting his teeth behind a forced smile. I expect we may
literally see this metaphor played out in our interactions with friends and
family as the Martian desire, obnoxiousness, and aggression setting off the
larger cycles with Uranus and Pluto. With Uranus it means events could be
radical, unpredictable, rebellious, and upsetting. Until January 10th, I'd
expect people to be restless which may lead to reckless behavior as there is an
overwhelming sense of needing to be liberated from anything that feels
oppressive. This would also be a time to look for world events as we may see
unexpected eruptions of violence to topple decaying power structures to restore
balance. The greater the imbalance, the greater the backlash in restoring
harmony. Martian energy can be constructively channeled into physical
activities, so don't neglect to get exercise because of the obligations of the
holidays. Also exercising caution, because accidents are common when Mars
interacts with Uranus and anger and rage are to be expected with Pluto
challenging the god of war. However this plays out in your life, try to see the
higher purpose of these events trying to restore balance.
Before I get into the daily energy for Jaguar,
on the 30th 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. I've discussed in depth the implications of
the other planets moving retrograde in past reports, so I'll just keynote each
one. 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 is retrograde from the
Winter Solstice December 21st, at 28 and change almost 29 degrees of Capricorn until January 31st at 13 Capricorn, which
will be 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 January, 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. This is a push to tie up loose ends as we move into 2014 and a new
season with Venus retrograde. 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.
Another thing I
find interesting about this year is we have two new moons in January, none in
February, and another two full 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.
Ok let's look
at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. December 30th 2013 is 1 - Ix
"eesh" or Jaguar: unity experienced through enjoying nature, as the
Sun squares Uranus which is a disruptive transit adding to the likelihood of
upsets and behaviors that are upsetting to others. Also unexpected mechanical
problems, a sudden argument, or separation within a relationship. With the Sun
involved we are talking about a conflict between egos. Folks will also be more
likely to feel restless, so it might be important to be conscious of this
possibility, and find a way to allow the restless energy to express itself,
rather than being shocked by how it gets expressed unconsciously. This adds to
the accident prone energy of the transits leading up to the 30th. This is a
time to realize those accidents are not happening to you, you are creating
them. The drive to do something free and liberating is strong, just try to
exercise enough consciousness to give it expression without causing damage to
your life. Mars square Pluto
on the 30th continues to ramp up the intensity leading into the new year. The
29th to the 3rd being the peak of this expression of aggression, unexpected
rebellion, and transformation. Many will spend this time with friends and
family where the potential for reactivity and stressful interactions will
involve our personal relationships. This would be a time to release Martian
energy constructively through physical activities and exercise. This brings a
showdown between planet octaves and co-rulers of Scorpio. This could be about
transforming the world around you or having fierce disagreements and power
struggles. It arouses ambition and the desire to get ahead with high energy to
back the drive with action, usually with opposition coming from others. This can
be ruthless and underhanded in dealing with anyone who is an obstacle to
achieving the goal. Definitely a time to avoid dangerous people and places.
Also we have Mercury in harmony with Chiron continuing to allow deep healing of
the wounds that were previously unconscious or inaccessible, through
understanding on an intellectual level and the availability of new awareness
and wisdom. Be compassionate with others and with yourself. Also on the 30th
the Sagittarius Moon finds support from Uranus and is stimulated by Mars at
6:36 am EST and then the Moon turns void of course for the rest of
the day. The day begins with having the impulse to engage in activities that
make us feel more alive, then later brings the desire to work independently
from others, then is Void of course for the rest of the day which is about
enjoying social interactions with others while avoiding major decisions or
purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of
energy and experiences. The 31st is 2 - Men "men" or Eagle: duality
experienced through seeing
from a higher perspective, as Mercury merges with Pluto
which intensifies mental activity and a penetrating quality to communications
along with having a critical eye for what needs to be transformed in our environment.
New Years Eve on steroids, with increasing intensity. On a mental level there
is a penetrating quality to go deep in discovering the "truth" in
which superficiality does not cut it. This also indicates a capacity to
influence others, and to speak with a persuasive voice. People will present
opinions as facts, believing they are right and the other is wrong. Be careful
of who you engage with under this transit, as many will make statements with no
regard for the feelings of the listener, which they may interpret as
threatening. This can also bring more acute powers for penetrating analysis of
human nature, which is best not shared without an invitation to do so. Let's
not forget that this transit is effecting everyone so we are as likely to be
the recipient of these behaviors from others, as being the perpetrator.
Probably the best use of this transit is to get preoccupied with a project or
idea that you work on independently from others and you wait to share until
another day. Mercury square Mars also on the 31st, continues to
compound the intensity with another difficult transit. This one has people
feeling touchy and irritable, with almost any communication interpreted as a
challenge. Hard to imagine that someone doesn't get set off by the implied
attitude of this transit. People will feel the drive to defend their ideas,
from a simple debate to an all out fight. This time it would be important to
realize beliefs and thoughts can change and to not indentify our ego with them.
This is yet another transit that indicates the potential to be involved in
accidents. This is particularly likely for someone who is trying to suppress
their anger. Sun sextile Chiron brings illumination of our wounds with the
intension for healing, but given the other transits any vulnerable feelings may
add to the potential for perfect storm celebration of the death of 2013 and
birth of 2014. Also on the 31st the Capricorn Moon is in harmony with Neptune
which brings greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible
psychic impressions for those who are open. January 1st is 3 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: taking action
through introspection, meditation and
forgiveness, while the Capricorn New Moon at almost 11 degrees on the 1st, is challenged
by Uranus and Mars, merging with the Sun, Pluto, and Mercury, opposing Jupiter,
and supported by Saturn. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, this new moon represents
new beginnings related to work, commitments, discipline, elders, which might
begin as a limitation or obstacle that must be overcome or at least bypassed,
so that the new energy can precede. This is intense because this New Moon is
the head of a t-square with the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto all at right angles to
the Mars Uranus opposition. This has the rational mind being influenced by
emotions, irritability bringing a danger of needless disputes, stimulation of
the drive for personal freedom, wanting to be alone in our thoughts and
feelings, folks acting hasty and jumping to conclusions, and very intense
emotional experiences as energies come to the surface from the deepest parts of
our psyches. 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 57 minutes of Capricorn to consider what area of
your life is being activated by this new moon. For me that would be my 7th
house of Partnership and Marriage, but also any one to one relationship, so I
would set an intension related to using this energy, such as finding new ways
to relate to the folks with which I have a one to one relationship, whether
romantic or business through making a deeper commitment or overcoming some
limitation. Pluto brings in
transformational elements into the new moon, so there is a transformative
purpose aligned with the new opportunities that are opening up. This New Moon is particularly potent
for making big changes through taking a leap of faith leading us into 2014.
Certainly releasing outdated limitations, like removing your mask at the
masquerade new year's party, to reveal a greater awareness of our authentic
true self, our new direction, and purpose. The Sun
merges with Pluto which illuminates underlying experiences, usually of a
dark nature, that leads to fundamental evolutionary changes from within. This
can bring the power of changes that we see as major occurrences in the world
with the themes of growth, evolution, decay and death, along with rebirth and
regeneration. Some of us may have to contend with a person who is trying to
exert unreasonable power over us, which will likely force us to defend our
right to do things in a way that is correct for us. With Pluto this may have
hidden elements that have powerful ramifications. A good day to avoid areas
where you are likely to encounter street crime, with Mars in the mix the
results could be violent. The
2nd is 4 - Caban
"kah-ban" or Earth:
stability through gratitude
for Mother Earth, while the Sun squares Mars which is a day when we are
more conscious of ourselves and our motivations. This could be a day where we
observe serious ego conflicts between people. Folks will be looking for
vulnerabilities in others, flaws in arguments, any errors which can be
challenged, or any other chink in the armor of the other. This is a high energy
transit, perhaps too high if we're not careful. So watch for signs of people
becoming irritable or impatient, especially when things don't go exactly as
planned. Probably it's best to avoid being assertive unless it's absolutely
called for. This is also a time where people are projecting their irritability
and aggression on others without realizing that it's originating within
themselves. A day to be particularly careful of conflict with authority, even
if their claims are legitimate, we are likely to encounter a hostile reaction
during this transit. It would be good to vent this energy into some type of
physical activity that will give your aggressions a satisfactory outlet.
Without an outward expression this type of energy can lead to illness or
accidents, or if projected will attract angry and difficult people, as the Moon in
Capricorn merges with Venus which feels cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting
to go out and socialize. January
3rd is 5 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: empowerment through being introspective, with Mercury opposing Jupiter which expands information and communication, this also can
bring a day or two of good feelings and an optimistic outlook. With care this
can be helpful in contractual negotiations, planning meetings, discussions and
conferences. Because Jupiter is influencing Mercury, the caution is to be aware
of grandiose thinking, where the whole is much clearer than the parts. Read
details carefully with regard to the fine points, because we often lose
precision and clarity, so read the small print. Thoroughness lead to success.
In communicating with others, the influence of this transit my come off as
arrogance or cockiness, so it's important to be flexible and open to another's
point of view. Some will want to engage in debating today, just try not to take
any intellectual jousting too seriously. Plans made now, or previously and
executed now will be furthered by this transit, as long as we take the care to
make accurate and perceptive judgments, as the Aquarius Moon is
stimulated by Uranus, finds support from Mars, and is challenged by Saturn. The
day's emotional energy moves from pleasant yet restless energy that desires
emotional excitement, to later feeling a little more confident than usual with
the ability to assert ourselves in a positive manner, and finally people feeling lonely or isolated. The
4th is 6 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: being in the flow through recognizing the gifts in adversity,
while the
Pisces Moon merges with Neptune which brings feelings of empathy for those
around us, including the possibility of clairvoyance and telepathic experiences
for those of us who are sensitive by nature. January 5th is 7 - "ah-how" : reflection through honoring the wisdom and memory of
our ancestors, while the Sun opposes
Jupiter which has a double potential that we see with oppositions. This
is another day of feeling good, cheerful and optimistic. The feeling that
nothing can go wrong today has its good points and its bad points. The best way
find success with this transit is to not go overboard in any area, of course
this is exactly what can happen at this time. This can also build our self
confidence, giving us the courage to do something we've never done before. It's
another Jupiter alignment where we need to avoid being arrogant. Any negativity
that is being expressed also expands and can turn into conflicts with others.
It's important to know your listener if offering constructive criticism, to
avoid offering more than can be heard. Authority figures may interpret
informing as over stepping some sort of boundary or even self righteousness. As
with an opposition, like a full moon, this is a time when something that was
planted back in June is coming to fruition. Basically at this time don't over
extend yourself or make commitments you can't keep, with the Moon in Pisces in
harmony with Pluto, the Sun, and Mercury, and finding support from Jupiter and
Saturn. The day's emotional energy moves from experiencing deep emotions on a
profound level, to later feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds
with people having a pleasant sense of wellbeing, and finally lots of chatting
with friends, neighbors, coworkers... while also having a sober realistic view
of life. The 6th is 8 Imix "e-meesh"
or Crocodile: balance through nurturing
new beginnings, as Mercury sextiles
Saturn which is great for constructive criticism that comes from being
able to see what can be improved in our surrounding environment. We are very
conscious of flaws, including our own, so we can use our critical eye to what
should be changed to bring improvement. This can be very serious in its pursuit
of betterment, make sure your honoring what is positive, so not to get
overwhelmed by the many imperfections that are in view with this transit. Older
people may serve as teachers and mentors at this time. This is nice energy for
working carefully on any mental task from a place of concentration and
precision, whereas activities that require a great scope of vision may be more
difficult. This is about the details, rather than the overall pattern.
Difficulty seeing the forest for the trees, while the Moon in Pisces is in harmony with
Venus which is about having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones. January
7th is 9 - Ik "eek" or Wind: patience experienced through communication, while Mercury conjuncts Venus which stimulates our
appreciation of beauty, whether it be art, poetry, music, people, or nature. In
Capricorn people may be more likely to express their committed love for others.
This is a merging of the mental and emotional realms within ourselves, so folks
may experience concepts with emotions or express feelings in an intellectual
manner. This is wonderful for creativity or any type of artistic expression. This
transit can be favorable for financial and business dealings, along with
scientific research by seeing patterns in the universe and appreciating them
aesthetically. While the first quarter Moon in Aries merges with
Uranus, is challenged by Pluto, Jupiter and the Sun, and opposed by Mars, the
emotional wave moves from people feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with
moods changing quickly and unexpectedly, to having the compulsion to act in
ways that may not be good for us in the long run, then opposed by Mars which
influences people to be more excitable and irritable which can cause problems
in our personal lives, with a little later benevolent and generous feelings for
those in our immediate environment, and finally brings challenges to following
a daily routine. The 8th is 10 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: manifestation
through contemplating the stars, while Mars squares Jupiter, which brings energy for successful
activities and furthering new projects, with a caution against being reckless
during this surge of unbridled desire. Folks will be tempted to shoot first and
ask questions later, acting quickly without considering all the factors.
Unjustified optimism that our efforts today will "turn into gold" may
unbalance our judgment. Thru planning and fore thought we may find success, but
it will not come about based solely on luck. This transit is future oriented,
and good for furthering new projects, just avoid overextending yourself or your
resources. There is also a fondness for taking risks and pushing beyond normal
limitations of energy, impulsivity now will be paid for in the future, which
may be less than pleasant, or it may result in accidents at this time, with the
Moon in Aries Challenged by Venus and Mercury, moves from pleasant energy for
being with the others we want to know better, to later folks being critical in
their communications particularly with the people they have intimate
relationships with. January 9th is 11 - Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: resolution through planting seeds and making new
connections, while the Taurus Moon is in harmony with Neptune
and supported by Pluto, moves from being very sensitive to the moods of others,
to later with Pluto bringing out intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity,
which also favors sexual relationships. The 10th is 12 - Chicchan "chee-chan"
or Serpent:
understanding through being
flexible, while the Moon in Taurus is in harmony with Jupiter, supported by the
Sun and Venus, and opposed by Saturn. The day moves from feeling
in the flow and having a sense of wholeness, to later feelings of inner and
outer equanimity, and finally feeling lonely and isolated, that shifts to enjoying
pleasant feelings and social interactions. January 11th is 13 - Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation:
movement to the next stage through releasing what no longer serves us, while Mercury moves into
Aquarius which shifts the focus of communications and thinking to
social consciousness, while being true to our individuality to share our
inventive ideas with groups and communities. Venus sextile Saturn pleasantly encourages us to look at
our responsibilities in our relationships in a positive way, as there is a
sense of gratification in being of service to our loved ones. What's good for
the group is more important today and people work to further those ideals even
if it means some level of self denial. This is a good time to talk with a loved
one about your expectations from each other. This is practical energy which
favors business affairs and commerce, particularly with art or other things of
beauty. This is also good for creativity that demands close attention to
details. While the Sun conjunct Venus is wonderful for self expression in
relationships, and a certain amount of assertiveness to gain the attention of
those we love. This is a good time to socialize, make new contacts, friends and
even possibly a new love interest. This is also favorable for financial
activities, just avoid being extravagant or self indulgent. The negative of
this is people think they are the most fascinating and interesting person in
the world, which others interpret as being a vain fool. Also on the 11th, the Sun sextiles Saturn
which is a great day for getting things done. It
brings an orderly state of mind and a strong sense of self discipline. This is
practical energy that is not interested in idealistic or abstract
considerations that have no application in daily life. This favors all matters
related to work or profession, with what is accomplished being done carefully
with wonderful concentration and attention to detail, which may impress
authority figures. Advice from older people is also favored under this transit.
Not the best day for relaxing, because it can be a little serious in its frame
of mind,
with the Moon finding support from Mercury, and challenged by Neptune, the day's energy goes from feeling
in touch with our emotions and expressing them to others to daydreams and
fantasies feeling more important than reality.
So no matter
what energies are affecting you during this 1 Jaguar 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.
