This is the "Care and feeding
of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of December 4th 2013
for 1 - Lamat "la-maught" or Star
in the
Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also Mercury moving into Sagittarius, and Mars moving
into Libra.
December 4th 2013
for 1 - Lamat "la-maught" or Star
which
carries 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. During this 1 - Star
trecena Venus is slowing down as it prepares to turn retrograde on the Winter
Solstice (Summer south of the equator) on December 21st, which will lead to 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 is exact on January 11th 2014. When Venus transits behind the
Sun, this is called the superior conjunction
(S.C.) and is not visible for about 50 days. 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. Venus is
the Evening Star after the S.C. and before the
I.C. which lasts approximately 260 days and travels as the Morning Star after the I.C. and before the S.C. for
about 260 days. 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 December
17th. I think 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.
December is the twelfth month and with the
digits for 2013, 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, the new cycle
actually beings in March of next year. As a nine month, December 2013 is about
tasks and projects that were initiated since April, 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 is 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. December 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 of next year. 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.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1 -
Lamat "la-maught" or Star , on December 4th 2013
all the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Jupiter and Uranus, which
appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. I've discussed in depth the
implications of the other planets moving retrograde in the past reports, so
I'll just keynote each one. 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. Retrograde
Uranus in Aries is seeking to shake our very
foundation to shock us to awaken and forces us to embrace our new way of living
through reversals and unexpected events.
The big change for the 1 - Lamat
"la-maught" or Star trecena is Mars changing signs
from Virgo to Libra. December
brings a fair amount of chaos as the month unfolds. Venus is retrograde in
Capricorn and Mars moves into Libra opposing Uranus and squaring 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
on the white water rafting trip called 2013. 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. 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 just in time for the holiday season. 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 December 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 end 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 during the
holidays. The time between Christmas and New Years inclusive, is ground zero
for the Martian desire, obnoxiousness, and aggression setting of the larger
cycles with Uranus and Pluto. With Uranus at the peak of its power due to its
stationary position as it changes from retrograde to direct, means events could
be radical, unpredictable, rebellious, and upsetting. From mid December onward
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.
Ok let's look
at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. December 4th 2013 for 1 - Lamat
"la-maught" or Star:
unity experienced through being
grateful for abundant relationships, as we have Mercury moving into Sagittarius which ushers in an optimistic view of
life, a sense of faith, and seeing the big picture. This brings three weeks
when people prize freedom of expression and find censorship less bearable. This
also brings a restlessness to our thoughts as we might find ourselves dreaming
about exploring different cultures and longing to travel. Education is also
favored under Mercury in Sagittarius, whether it's through reading, exploring
new ideas, or learning about other people. Joining the Sun in the sign of the
happy wanderer, they work together on similar goals with a new sense of purpose, with
the Capricorn Moon in harmony with Neptune, challenged by Uranus, and merging
with Pluto bringing a day that starts with having a greater sensitivity to
others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open, then
later people are likely to act hasty and jump to conclusions, and finally we
have more intense moods rising to the surface from deep in our psyches. The 5th
is 2 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: duality experienced through appreciating creation, while the Moon
in Capricorn is in harmony with Saturn, opposed by Jupiter, and merging with
Venus, which shifts from wanting to be alone in our thoughts and
feelings, to feelings of generosity, and later the Moon merging with Venus
feels cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and socialize. December
6th is 3 - Oc
"awk" or Dog:
taking action through enjoying
family and friends, with Mercury square Neptune which
can confuse communication but also favors creative and spiritual activities.
Watch out for exaggeration and boasting, and some will cross over into outright
lying. Mercury is also communication, and in aspect to Neptune for a day or so
we have potential for confusion about the details of mundane daily events but a
wonderful potential to connect with spiritual realms through being in nature
and engaging in inner work. Overall it's best to carefully formulate exactly
what you wish to communicate, because if it could be misunderstood, it probably
will. Daydreaming is to be expected under this influence. Not a great day for
negotiations or signing contracts as these activities will not be clear under
the Neptunian fog. We also have the Moon finding support from
Mars, and stimulated by Mercury and Uranus. The day begins with feeling a
little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a
positive manner, then later lots of chatting with friends, neighbors, coworkers...
and finally pleasant yet restless feelings craving emotional excitement to do
something outside the daily routine. The 7th is 4 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: stability through creating something new, with Mars moving into Libra which
we talked about at the beginning of this report. Aside from what has already
been said, this placement can bring fluctuations to the sex drive, as Libra is
idealistic and favors esthetic involvements, where crudeness is a turn off.
This may be a time where folks desire more cultivated sophisticated lovers, but
also weighing the pros and cons of getting involved. The
7th the Moon in Aquarius is in harmony with the
Sagittarius Sun, and challenged by Saturn, at which point it turns void of course
at 7:11 am until moving into Pisces 3:34 am on the 8th. The day shifts from feelings
of inner and outer equanimity, to people feeling lonely or isolated, then at 7:11 am EST the Void of
Course moon warns against making major decisions or purchases until
3:34 am the following day on what is likely to be a very big holiday shopping
day, this is a good time for resting, leave the shopping for another day. December 8th
is 5 - Eb "eb" or Road:
empowerment through serving
your community, as the Pisces Moon merges with Neptune, is
challenged by Mercury, and is in harmony with Pluto. The emotional energy 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, then our moods influencing our ability to think rationally, and finally
experiencing deep emotions felt on a profound level. The 9th is 6 - Ben "ben" or Reed or
Corn: being in the flow through maintaining the home, while the first quarter
Moon in Pisces is challenged by the Sun, and supported by Saturn and Jupiter.
The day moves from encountering challenges to our daily routines, and settling
into a more sober and realistic view of life, to later people having a pleasant
sense of wellbeing. December 10th is 7 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar:
reflection through enjoying
nature, with Mercury trine Uranus, which is
supportive of the lower and higher minds with stimulation that fosters
awakening and invigorating experiences. What we lose in care and discipline in
our thinking, we make up for in intuition. Rigidity and unwillingness to
deviate from the day's plan make this a more difficult day. A great day to look
at old problems with new eyes, perhaps seeing them in a way that was not
available before with a totally fresh approach. Uranus is the
higher octave planet to Mercury. Mercury
being about our personal thinking and communicating, while Uranus is about
transpersonal communing with something larger than ourselves. This is a very
stimulating transit which raises conscious awareness and brings more of a love
for life, a desire to seize the day "Carpe Deum". New ideas come
quickly with solutions for a problem that has been perplexing, somehow
available under this influence, after being unavailable in the days leading up
to this time period. This energy is looking for a break from routine to go out
and do something out of the ordinary. It favors studying a new topic,
particularly astrology, science, math, technology and the occult. Also on the 10th the Moon in
harmony with Venus, opposed by Mars, and merging with Uranus, gives us a day
that begins with wanting to be with friends and the people we love, then later opposed
by Mars which influences people to be more excitable and irritable which can
cause problems in our personal lives, and finally people feeling impulsive and
acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly when the moon
dances with Uranus. The 11th is 8 Men
"men" or Eagle: balance
through seeing from a higher perspective, as
Mercury challenges Chiron bringing a healing or wounding quality to our
thoughts and communications, while the Aries Moon finds support from
Mercury and the Sun, and is challenged by Pluto and Jupiter. The day moves from
feeling in touch with our emotions and expressing them to others, to having the
compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, then
later benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment,
and finally feeling a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside
world. December 12th is 9 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: patience
experienced through introspection,
meditation and forgiveness, while Jupiter
trines Saturn
which is a beneficial gathering of two powerhouses. Jupiter is exalted in
Cancer as it finds comfort and expands to meet the emotional needs of Cancer,
and Saturn in Scorpio is in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn. This is
very positive. With Jupiter in the mix this may be the time that those
experiences yield a payoff from working on creative and transformative
projects. This may feel like an oasis in the expansive desert of the Uranus
Pluto squares. Drink deeply at this time, enjoy the gifts, prepare your camel
for the long journey ahead, Jupiter brings the gifts to renew our bodies,
minds, and inspiration. With Jupiter we can see the whole and Saturn allows us
to also see the details, truly a time that we can see the forest and the trees.
A great time to expand a business, start a new one or branch out into a new
area,
with the Moon challenged by Venus, and in harmony with Neptune which goes from having
pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones, to later being very
sensitive to the moods of others. The 13th is 10 - Caban "kah-ban" or
Earth: manifestation
through gratitude for Mother Earth, with the
Taurus Moon finding support from Pluto bringing out intense emotions and
stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual relationships. December 14th
is 11 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: resolution through being introspective, while the
Moon in Taurus is in harmony with Jupiter, opposed by Saturn, and supported by
Venus. The day begins with feeling in the flow and having a sense of wholeness,
while also feeling lonely and isolated, so the Jupiter Saturn energies will
balance each other out, and later enjoying pleasant feelings and social
interactions with Venus' influence. The 15th is 12 - Cauac "cow-ack"
or Storm: understanding through recognizing the gifts in adversity,
while the Gemini Moon is challenged by Neptune, supported by Mars, and stimulated
by Uranus. The day's emotional wave moves from daydreams and
fantasies feeling more important than reality, to Mars bringing the energy for asserting ourselves in a positive
manner and standing our ground if necessary, and then later pleasant
yet restless energy that desires emotional excitement. December 16th is 13 -
"ah-how" : movement to the next stage through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, as the
Moon in Gemini opposed by Mercury has some people experiencing a
real conflict between feelings and reason and others having fruitful
expressions of their deeper awareness either internally or with another.
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.
