This is the "Care
and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of April
26th 2014 for 1 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey
in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the Taurus New Moon and
Solar Eclipse, Venus moves into Aries, followed by Mercurymoving into
Gemini.
April 26th 2014 for 1 - Chuen "shoe-in"
or Monkey carries the themes of new beginnings, good fortune,
innocent curiosity leading to artistic expression, mischief similar to
"Coyote spirit" and trickster gods in many native traditions,
generosity, the "Jack of All Trades", weaving the threads of time,
craftsmanship, and wisdom keeping. 1 - Monkey is the 131st day in the 260 day
Tzolkin calendar marking the beginning of the second half of the round. The
calendar starts with Crocodile as the primal nurturing energy for beginnings
and the second half begins with Monkey as the artisan who creates something
new. These are arbitrary points as many different Mayan groups celebrate
different days to begin the Tzolkin round and ultimately it is just that, round
like a circle having no beginning or end. The 1- Monkey trecena is a good
thirteen day period to be generous with your creativity, wisdom, curiosity, and
time to help others explore new beginnings and in doing so discovering
something new in yourself.
We
begin May during the Chuen "shoe-in" trecena. May is the
fifth month and with the digits for 2014, when added together we get 12, then
we add 1 + 2 to tell us that this is an twelve/three month in
numerology. Basic numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when
we think about that arc the 3 represents a time which brings creativity
and a chance to let go of some of the intensity of the past two months. The
twelve/three combination is represented by the Hanged Man/Empress tarot cards
which is about our willingness to turn ourselves upside down to see from a new
perspective through nurturing others and ourselves. Alan Cohen expressed the
energy of the hanged man in "The world would have you agree with its
dismal dream of limitation. But the light would have you soar like the eagle of
your sacred visions." The Empress could be described from this quote from
"The Road Less Traveled" by Scott Peck, "Love is the will to
extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual
growth." So May is a month to change our perspective to find freedom from
limitation, through nurturing ourselves and others and expressing our
creativity, love, happiness, and optimism, after coming through the fire of
April. The three energetic is positive and encourages us to move forward
feeling less encumbered than we felt a month ago. Perhaps something was removed
from our grasp in April, May provides an opportunities to fill our open hands.
I think May will bring a return to some much needed optimism, and inspiration,
as we find our path revised after going through April's chaos and upheaval.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey,
on the 26th all the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on
Earth except Mars, Saturn, and Pluto which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. Mars which turned retrograde on March 1st will turn direct May
19th. During the first part of the month Mars, representing drive and
aggression, is in Libra and appears to move backward from our perspective here
on Earth. 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. Mars is about drive and wanting to take action,
but in Libra it's likely to be the drive to make someone else take action. Mars has been in Libra for several months 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. Mars is also about
sexuality, so retrograde Mars periods are contraindicated for beginning a
satisfying sexual relationship. As much as Mars is unhappy in Libra, it's also
very unhappy retrograde. This is a really difficult time to access our drive
and aggressive energy. Saturn turned retrograde on March 2nd and turns direct on July
20th. Themes of Saturn in Scorpio are loss, depression, failure, fear, the
shadow, betrayal, the stuff that goes deep. Superficial just won't cut it with
Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn retrograde is a task master that demands we take
responsibility to review the scorpionic themes such as motives, ethics, and
intensions. If we have not been clear on these subjects we are likely to feel
our burden is heavier than the load we had previously agreed to carry. Pluto represents death, completion, and in Capricorn, the
breakdown of structures, to bring about transformation. Pluto in Capricorn is
determined in exposing the darkness, destroying the old order, so that we can
rise up like the Phoenix from the ashes to soar again. Capricorn is about large
structures which includes banks, governments, corporations, and religions. This
is a time of a cosmic course correction for the entire planet. It is the
resistance to Pluto's lesson of letting go of the past, that brings tragedy and
pain. Capricorn is about building and achievement and as an earth sign it's
rooted in the material world. The goat climbing the highest mountains is its
symbol. Pluto rules the underworld so look for events from underground such as
earthquakes, volcanoes, and giant sink holes, and events involving tunnels or
subways, and infrastructures in general, but also battles for underground resources,
such as oil and fracking. Capricorn is also about the elderly and in the U.S.
we have a political battle over social security, which was paid for by people's
payroll deductions and has nothing to do with the national debt, but because
our government borrowed from social security and has no way to pay it back,
they want to dismantle this life line for our seniors.
Ok
let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. April
26th 2014 for 1 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: unity
experienced through creating something new, while Mercury sextiles Neptune which positively stimulates imaginations
and sensitivity to the world around us both physical and non physical through
our intuition. This is not the best day for clarity or doing precision detailed
work, instead turning our attention towards the spiritual aspects of life will
be benefited. This could be a period of dreaminess where folks
spend more time fantasizing. Withdrawal from life is not bad, and is often
important for feeding the world within through inspiration, as the intangible
reality is as important as the material world. This may be a time where we are
more aware of what's going on in the minds of others, which may be difficult in
keeping our intuitions organized. Clarity and detail are not favored at this
time. Moon in Pisces makes no angles and is void of course until moving
into Aries, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to
use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences. The
27th is 2 - Eb "eb" or Road: duality experienced
through serving your community, with Sun sextile Neptune which
lowers the demands of our egos allowing us to sense other people's energy and
circumstances and makes us more willing to help out. This could be positive for
fund raising for a charitable organization. This also encourages spiritual and
mystical knowledge and experiences through spending time alone in a meditative
state, particularly given that energy for physical activities will be
lowered.Also on the 27th the Aries Moon is opposed by Mars, challenged by Pluto
and Jupiter and merges with Uranus, which brings a day that shifts from people
being more excitable and irritable which can cause problems in our personal
lives, to having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in
the long run, and people feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods
changing quickly and unexpectedly, and finally having benevolent and generous
feelings for those in our immediate environment. April 28th is 3
- Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: taking action
through maintaining the home, while the Taurus Moon harmonizes with
Neptune which greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible
psychic impressions for those who are open. The 29th is 4 - Ix "eesh"
or Jaguar: stability through enjoying nature, with the Taurus New Moon and solar
eclipse which has the moon merging with the Sun, and
Mercury trine Pluto, sextile Jupiter, and opposed by Saturn. New moons are
times of new beginnings and in Taurus is about shifting and changing the
material world. With the solar eclipse we should focus on bringing practical
matters into harmony with our new direction or purpose. 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 8 degrees 52 minutes,
almost 9 degrees Taurus to consider what area of your life is being activated
by this new moon. For me that would be my eleventh house of friends, hopes and
wishes, so I would set an intension related to using this energy. Moon trine
Pluto brings out intense emotions and stimulates sensitivity. It also favors
sexual relationships, but the lunation also merges with Mercury which has our
rational mind being strongly influenced by our emotions. With this
lunation sextile Jupiter, the day brings good feelings and congenial social
interactions and the opposition from Saturn can bring feelings of lonely and
isolated, so these two aspects tend to balance each other out. The new moon
in Taurus is about security, practical concerns, money, land, real estate, and
our physical bodies. So much of the energy indicates an increase in intensity
and importance regarding the issues related to letting go of the old and stuck
so that we can accept the new possibilities. Also on the 29th Mercury trine Pluto can bring concern about the deeper issues in life. This has
people wanting to dig below the surface to uncover mysteries. On a personal
level this can be excellent for inner work, so it might be a good day for some
"alone time" to discover some of the deeper dimensions of your
psyche. Communications may seem rather serious and profound. Thoughts will be
more focused and gain insights about important developments. April 30th is 5 -
Men "men" or Eagle: empowerment through seeing from a
higher perspective, while Mercury sextiles
Jupiter, which brings our
attention to the larger issues in life. Many will find their minds wandering to
thoughts about the future, as our hopes and wishes are more important under this
influence. This is also good for thinking about the overall patterns in our
lives. This is optimistic and brings a positive attitude. This is also good for
business negotiations, contract discussions, and commercial transactions, as
well as any dealing with the law. Travel also benefits so this would be good
energy to start a trip. Also on the 30th the Moon in Taurus harmonizes with
Venus which is about having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones.
May 1st is 6 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: being in the flow
through introspection, meditation and forgiveness, with Mercury
sextile Chiron which may influence folks to express their wounding from the
past and become aware of these past experiences to allow healing through
talking through what is now conscious and ready to be released. Also on the 1st the Gemini Moon is challenged by Neptune, finds
support from Mars and is stimulated by Uranus which shifts from bringing our
dreams into the day's vibration, to feeling a little more confident than usual
with the ability to assert ourselves in a positive manner, and finally pleasant
yet restless energy that desires emotional excitement. May 2nd is 7 - Caban
"kah-ban" or Earth: reflection through gratitude for Mother
Earth, whileMercury opposed by Saturn brings about serious thoughts concerning
our relationship to the world. We will want to consider how we can meet our
practical needs. This transit may have us feeling isolated as we are more
inclined to look with a critical eye at our personal relationships. This is not
the time to act on those thoughts because our thinking gets distorted by this
transit. What we consider our troubles may seem significant but over time may
diminish as this transit moves on. Our thoughts benefit from positive thinking
to overcome the pessimistic energy. This may also have us thinking about
separating from a loved one or saying goodbye to a relationship, but wait to
act because Mercury opposed by Saturn can really distort our perspective. If
you can control negative thinking, you can use this energy to plan changes as
you will have a more critical eye for what is not working. This also brings
discipline for heavy mental work, but remember to take breaks so your mood
doesn't get pulled down in the process. Older people who you respect would be
good to talk to if you need to get something of your chest. Also on the 2nd Venus
enters Ariescontinuing to bring
energy to burst forward on a new path, this time it's about our relationships,
bringing new hope or a new lease on life. Also on the 2nd Moon in Gemini
is void of course so avoiding major decisions or purchases on the 2nd, but is
good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and
experiences. The 3rd is 8 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint:
balance through being introspective, with the Sun trine Pluto which brings very intense and powerful
experiences which may illuminate our deepest psychology and darkest normally
unseen mental realms. This is great transformational energy for investigation
into what parts of our lives should be reformed. This transit illuminates our
motives and is great for studying our inner workings. People are more likely to
express themselves more forcefully which can make an impact on someone, but be
careful of folks who use this energy for ruthless or selfish purposes. The best
use of this energy is for your own personal growth and evolution. Also on
the 8th the Cancer Moon is challenged by Venus and Mars, and finds support from
Neptune which begins with pleasant energy for being with the others we want to
know better, then later fantasies and daydreams distract us from accomplishing
routine tasks, and finally people feeling irritable which could lead to
needless disputes. May 4th is 9 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm:
patience experienced through recognizing the gifts in adversity, while the
Moon in Cancer is opposed by Pluto, harmonizes with the Sun, is challenged by
Uranus, merges with Jupiter, and finds support from Saturn, which begins
with deep emotions rising to the surface, then feeling balance between our
inner and outer worlds, followed by people are likely to act hasty and jump to
conclusions, later good feelings and generosity towards others, and finally
having a sober realistic view of life. The 5th is 10
- Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: manifestation
through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, while the moon in
harmony with Mercury and finding support from Venus which moves from being very
social and conversing with others to later enjoying pleasant feelings and
social interactions. May 6th is 11 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile:
resolution through nurturing new beginnings, with the Sun sextile Jupiter which is very positive for almost any activity. It brings a
positive frame of mind that can be applied toward success. This
"lucky" transit influences activities to work out as planned. Great
energy to be with friends or work harmoniously in group situations as there is
a strong energy to be included in something bigger then oneself. This is also
good to reflect on our lives and goals, but it does caution against blindly
assuming everything will work out perfectly, so we might want to review any
plans for the future. With Jupiter involved it is easier to see the big
picture. This also helps in relationships with people in authority as there is
a desire to be "at one" with the sources of universal energy, and on
the most mundane level that includes the desire to get along with those in
power. Also on the 6th we have the First Quarter Moon in Leo being
stimulated by Mars, finding support from Uranus, and challenged by the Sun
which moves from the desire to work independently from others, to later having
the impulse to engage in activities that make us feel more alive, and later we
encounter challenges to our daily routines. The 7th is 12 - Ik "eek"
or Wind: understanding through communication, while Mercury moves into Gemini which is beneficial because Mercury rules
Gemini. This is very fast energy that will speed up communications and interest
in a wider variety of topics for the rest of the month when Mercury moves into
Cancer on the 29th where it will turn retrograde next month and return to
Gemini on June 17th. While in Gemini Mercury brings spontaneity to
socialization in life. Also on the 7th the Sun sextiles Chiron which
illuminates wounds to allow healing, while the Leo Moon is challenged by Saturn
which has people feeling lonely or isolated. May 8th is 13 - Akbal
"awk-bol" or Night: movement to the next stage
through contemplating the stars, while the Virgo Moon is challenged by
Mercury and opposed by Neptune which shifts from folks being critical in
their communications particularly with the people they have intimate
relationships with, to later feeling sensitive emotionally but confused
regarding the accuracy of what's being felt.
So no
matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Monkey 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.
