This is the "Care and feeding
of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of January 23rd 2016 and 1
– Lamat "la-maught" or Star or Rabbit or
Venus in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the Leo Full Moon, Venus entering Capricorn, and Mercury turning
direct.
January 23rd is 1
– Lamat "la-maught" with the
themes of abundance,
playfulness, fertility, growth, ripeness, physical pleasure and spiritual
inspiration, artistry, creation, joy and humor. One Star is also known as One
Rabbit or One Venus. The glyph for Star is the planet Venus which is associated
with death and rebirth as Venus disappears as the evening star and then
reappears as the morning star. Venus is the Morning
Star after the inferior conjunction
(I.C.) when it is in front of the Sun and cannot be seen due to its close
proximity to the Sun which lasts about 8 days and before the superior conjunction (S.C.) when Venus transits behind
the Sun and is not visible for about 50 days. Venus is the Evening Star after the S.C.
and before the I.C. Both the Morning star and
Evening star phases lasts approximately 260 days and of course 260 days is
exactly the length of a Tzolkin round and 1 - Star is the final trecena of the
260 day round, so the next "Care and Feeding" will celebrate a new
round with 1 - Imix or Crocodile on February 5th. I think it's interesting that
modern Mayanologists have emphasized the Venus transit across the face of the
sun in relation to Mayan cosmology, but the Dresden Codex which details precise
knowledge of Venus' full cycle, makes no mention of the transit. This makes me
wonder if this is a modern projection onto the Maya, because although the Venus
transit which occurs twice every 243 years, during the I.C. is remarkable when
viewed from the Earth, it is certainly a lesser energetic force compared to the
S.C. when Venus is hidden behind the Sun and traveling in the same direction.
After all, we westerners love pyrotechnics, but might have missed the boat
regarding the actual energetic as it relates to the spiritual realm. This
thirteen day period would be a time to be grateful for any abundance or harvest
in our lives whether it be food or spiritual insight.
Since we begin a new Gregorian month during
this trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. February is the second month and with the digits for 2016,
when added together we get 11, then we add 1 + 1 to tell us that this is an eleven/two
month in numerology, which brings a spiritual quality to the month. Basic numerology
reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we think about that arc the 2
represents a time which brings increased contact with new people,
relationships, and cooperative connections, but also highlights the need for
balance. The numerology in January and February 2016
repeat November and December 2015 with January being a one month and February
being a two month. The eleven/two combination is
represented by the Lust/High Priestess tarot cards which is about being in our
strength and in our bodies while experiencing our intuition, independence,
self-trust, and self-resourcefulness. Richard Moss wrote in How Shall I Live:
"To me, wholeness is the key to aliveness. It is more than just a physical
vitality, it is radiance, coming from being at one with yourself and your experience.
Life then flows through you and radiates from you" which is a nice
description of the Strength/Lust energetic. The High Priestess could be
described from this quote from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, "For the self
is a sea boundless and measureless." So February is a month to be in our
bodies and radiance, that in turn empowers our sense of self, while we
cultivate new connections with others. February also brings us the Chinese New
Year of the Red Fire Monkey, which I'll discuss in the 1 -Imix report when we
begin a new Tzolkin round and the Chinese begin a new year.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Lamat
"la-maught" or Star or Rabbit or Venus, on the 23rd all the planets appear to be moving forward
from our vantage point on Earth, except Mercury
and Jupiter which appear to move retrograde or
in reverse motion. Remember the themes of retrograde planets are the review the
past, re-evaluate, reminisce and we can see these themes being played out. Mercury turned retrograde January 5th and turns
direct on the 25th, so the beginning of this trecena 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. Jupiter
was the king of the gods, and the planet is about good fortune, opportunities,
faith, religion, beliefs and expansion. Jupiter is in Virgo and Virgo is about
organization, health, and service. 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.
Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena.
January
23rd 2016 is 1 – Lamat
"la-maught" or Star or Rabbit or Venus: unity experienced through being grateful for abundant relationships in the Mayan
Tzolkin calendar, while we
have the Leo Full Moon,
with the moon at 3 degrees 29 minutes Leo, in harmony with
Jupiter, and opposed by the Sun. This
is about finding balance between our social consciousness (Sun in Aquarius) and
being happy, creative, and having fun (Moon in Leo) With this lunation
sextile Jupiter out of sign, the day brings good feelings and congenial social
interactions, which is tempered by the
Sun is in the sign opposite of its rulership, thus in its detriment, bringing a
little more tension to this Full Wolf Moon, indicating a time in Winter when
hungry wolf pack howled outside the tribal villages. Also on the 23rd Venus enters Capricorn,
which brings caution and carefulness
to love relationships and social interactions. Capricorn brings a practicality
to love. It also seeks security in partnering which includes material comforts.
Capricorn Venus will also make us aware of any over expenditures from the time
of Sagittarius Venus.
The 24th is 2 – Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: duality
experienced through appreciating creation, with the Leo
Moon challenged by Mars, and supported by Saturn and Uranus. The day's
emotional energy shifts from people feeling irritable
which could lead to needless disputes, followed by settling into a more sober
and realistic view of life, and finally having the impulse to engage in
activities that make us feel more alive.
January 25th is 3 – Oc "awk" or Dog:
taking action through enjoying family and friends, while Mercury
turns direct at 14 degrees and change Capricorn,
almost 15 degrees, heralding a time to implement the revision to our previous
course that we have become aware of from the information and experiences we had
during the retrograde cycle. It will take a few days to gain momentum, but over
the next few days we'll feel the invisible attraction to begin our new journey. Also on the 25th the Moon in Leo makes no angles
and is void of course until moving into Virgo, 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 26th is 4 – Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: stability
through creating something new, while the Virgo Moon finds support from Venus,
is opposed by Neptune and stimulated by Mars. The days energy moves from enjoying pleasant feelings and social
interactions, to later feeling sensitive
emotionally but confused regarding the accuracy of what's being felt, and
finally brings the desire to
work independently from others.
January 27th is 5 – Eb
"eb" or Road: empowerment through serving your community, while the Moon in Virgo is
challenged by Saturn, supported by Mercury and Pluto, and merges with Jupiter,
which begins with people feeling lonely or isolated,
followed by being more in touch with our feelings and
able to share them with others, then later having intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also
favors sexual relationships, and finally expressing good feelings and generosity towards others.
The
28th is
6 – Ben
"ben" or Reed
or Corn: being in the flow through maintaining
the home, with the Libra Moon challenged by Venus
which brings pleasant energy for being with the others we want to know better.
January 29th is 7 – Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: reflection through enjoying nature, while the Moon in Libra supported by the
Sun, in harmony with Saturn, challenged by Mercury and Pluto, and opposed by
Uranus. This bring a busy day of emotional stimulation that begins with feeling a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the
outside world, followed by wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings,
later our moods influencing our ability to think rationally, then having the
compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, and
finally folks are emotionally excitable and impulsive.
The 30th is 8 Men "men" or Eagle:
balance through seeing from a higher perspective,
with Mercury conjunct 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.
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 a right and the others is wrong.
Be careful of who you engage with under this transit, as many with 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. While Mercury interacts with the departing Uranus
Pluto square we may become aware of some area in our lives that need change or
adjustment. Also
on the 30th Venus sextiles
Neptune, inspiring creative and romantic
imagination, and is very nice energy between the planet of romantic love and
her higher octave the planet of unconditional love. This might be a time when
we experience universal love through our personal relationships. This is also
very creative and imaginative energy, that seeks and appreciates beauty.
Exposure to art, music, or poetry could help renew our consciousness during the
pleasant dreamy fog of this transit. Also being in a pleasant environment such
as beautiful spot in the country, a lovely garden, or looking at a majestic
view will be very powerful during this transit. Neptune may give us a deeper
sensitivity to the feelings and needs of our loved ones, which we are more than
likely going to want to satisfy. Some may have the feeling of a soul union with
another during this alignment. This is a good day to indulge in daydreams and
fantasies.
Also on the 30th the Moon
in Libra makes no angles and is void of course until moving into Scorpio, which
does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to
assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.
January 31st is 9 – Cib "keeb"
or Wisdom: patience experienced through introspection, meditation and forgiveness, while Mercury in Capricorn is challenged by Uranus in Aries
which is a stressful alignment that pits the traditional thinking against
rebellious new views. Since the outer planets tend to have more power, I
believe that any rigid conservative ideas will be attacked, and transformed or
released to make way for more innovative concepts, but of course Uranus is
unpredictable so anything could happen. This could also be a time of increased
protests with potential recklessness and violence. Personally, this can be
quite stimulating bringing fascination for new phenomenon. Flexibility is the
key with this transit, because the more rigid our thinking the more nerve
wracking the effect. Expect the unexpected, surprises and upsets, and you will
have the best chance to go with the flow, which may mean that plans for the day
do not work out as expected. Epiphanies are more likely, so you may want to
capture your genius thoughts in some form of record keeping, to reexamine in
the days that follow. The pace is fast which can lead to sloppiness. A day to
be careful of making sudden unexpected moves as accidents are more likely under
this influence.
Also on the 31st the last quarter Scorpio Moon finds
support from Neptune, harmonizes with Venus, and is challenged by the Sun which
shifts from our innermost subconscious fantasies and
daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work,
to later having pleasant energy to be with friends
and loved ones, and finally brings challenges
to following a daily routine.
February
1st is 10
– Caban "kah-ban" or Earth: manifestation
through gratitude for Mother Earth, with the
Moon in Scorpio merges with Mars, and harmonizes with Pluto Mercury, and
Jupiter, which moves from experiencing irritable
moods and critical communications, to later experiencing
deep emotions on a profound level, followed by people
feeling chatty and having numerous conservations,
and finally feeling in the flow and having a sense of
wholeness.
February 2nd is 11 – Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: resolution through being
introspective, while the Moon in Scorpio makes no
angles and is void of course until moving into Sagittarius, 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 3rd is 12 – Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm:
understanding through recognizing the gifts in adversity,
with Mars sextiles Pluto bringing energy for reconstruction of our inner world, with a harmonic
connection between the traditional and modern rulers of Scorpio and an
alignment between planet octaves. Mars representing our desires and personal
will and Pluto is the transcendent will of the Universe and the empowerment of
the authentic self. A sextile between Mars
and Pluto is good for making changes in our lives and to become more effective
in changing the world around us. This can stimulate peoples' ambitions without
others feeling threatened. With Pluto involved, the Martian ego gets sublimated
so our efforts should be for the greater good or we will sow the seeds of our
own self undoing. This may affect our plans as unforeseen changes are made that
bring improvement over the original plan. Great energy to work with groups in
moving toward a joint goal. Also on the 3rd, 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. Also on the 3rd, Mercury sextile Chiron is harmonious energy for reaching a
deeper understanding of healing old wounds, which will eventually grow into
wisdom.
Also on the 3rd, the Sagittarius Moon is challenged
by Neptune, merges with Saturn, harmonizes with the Sun, and finds support from Uranus, which shifts from bringing our
dreams into the day's vibration, to later wanting to be alone in our thoughts
and feelings, followed by feelings of inner and outer equanimity, and finally brings
a desire for emotional excitement to engage in activities outside our daily
routine.
February 4th is 13 – "ah-how" : movement to
the next stage through honoring the wisdom and memory of
our ancestors, while the Moon in Sagittarius is challenged by Jupiter which brings benevolent and generous feelings for those in
our immediate environment.
So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Star 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.
