This
is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian
date of
February 20th 2014 for 1 - Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation in the Mayan Tzolkin
calendar, with Mercury turning direct, the Pisces New Moon, and Mars and Saturn
turning retrograde.
February
20th 2014 for 1 - Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation carries the themes
of death and rebirth, forgiveness, surrender, guidance of women through
pregnancy, new beginnings through the release
of what no longer serves us, psychic abilities and self actualization. The
transformation day sign speaks of a choice to follow our heart's intuition and
the wisdom of our ancestors, nature and Mother Earth or the path of ego and the
dialogue of our chattering mind. I believe we all chose to incarnate during
this time of intense transformation, so it is important that we flow with the cosmic
changes. That's the reason for sharing these reports, so that you'll have the
information to prepare for difficult time periods but also to savor the times when the
energy is allowing an ease in the opening/expansion of consciousness. A reading
will dial that in for you on a much deeper personal level, but these reports
have good overall information for navigating these uncertain times. There may be growing pains associated with transformation
but I believe it is resistance to these evolutionary shifts that creates
suffering.
March is the third month and with the digits for 2014, when added
together we get 10, then we add 1 + 0 to tell us that this is a one month in
numerology, which tells us we are at a point of new beginnings. February was a
nine month and March is a one month this year, this is the time of a critical
shift with new directions, goals, and purpose. The 10 and the 1 are represented by
the Wheel of Fortune and Magician Archetypes in the Tarot cards. The Wheel of
Fortune is about prosperity and abundance that comes from being objective,
flexible and creative. To quote Ruth Ross "All prosperity begins in the
mind and is dependent only upon the full use of our creative
imaginations." The 1 card is the Magician which represents the principal
of communication, represented by the god Mercury. With his planetary
representative turning direct during this trecena. Words were originally magic. Another quote to
illustrate this comes from Starhawk, "Language shapes consciousness, and
the use of language to shape consciousness is an important branch of
magic." So March represents the beginning of a new cycle which comes into
being through our communications leading us towards prosperity by being
flexible, objective, and creative. Another
thing I find interesting about this year is we had two new moons in January,
none in February, and another two new moons in March. This sets powerful new
energies in motion that required the numerological nine month of February to
release the old and 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, so in March we can move forward unencumbered.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1- Transformation, on the 20th all the planets appear to move forward from our vantage
point on Earth except Mercury and Jupiter, which appear to move retrograde or in
reverse motion. 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. Jupiter turns direct on March 6th, taking time to build momentum
to move forward in expanding the themes of Cancer such as security, home and
family, which have been reviewed and revised during Jupiter's retrograde since
early November.
Mercury turned retrograde February 6th and turns direct on the
28th, 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.
The big change for the Cimi trecena is that Mars
turns retrograde on March 1st, followed by Saturn
on March 2nd. Mars appears to move in reverse on
the 1st. Of course planets don't really move backward. It's more like when you
are in a car, passing a slower car, that car appears to move backwards relative
to distant landmarks on the horizon. So during this trecena, Mars appears to
slow down, stop and begin to move in reverse, which is called retrograde by
astrologers. When a planet appears stopped, it is said to be at the peak of its
power. During this report period Mars, representing drive and aggression, is in
Libra. 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 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. 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. Mars began the 1st stage of offering
us a course correction on 12/26/13 when it first crossed the point in the
zodiac where it will eventually begin moving forward again at 9 Libra, from
then to 3/1/14 we are gathering information and energy related to an upcoming
change of course. On the 1st Mars begins the 2nd stage which lasts until
5/19/14, where the retrograde movement has us going back over the details from
the 1st stage, as we have experiences that give us an indication of what needs
to change in our lives. As an aside, sexual relationships that begin during a
Mars retrograde cycle may be less than satisfying. Mars turns direct on 5/19
and begins the 3rd stage which lasts until 7/21 which is the time to implement
the course correction that we will become aware of through this process. To
understand how you will personally be impacted, look at the area governed by
the house of your astrological chart that contains the arc between 9 and 27
degrees Libra. Mythological Mars, is the Roman counterpart to Aries, the Greek
god of war, bloodshed, and violence. Homer portrayed him as moody and
unreliable, and representing the chaos of war, where as Athena was the goddess
of military strategy and skill. Mars seems to be more of a berserker than a
soldier. Retrograde Mars in Libra has us reviewing our partnerships, new
relationships and friendships, particularly to get them moving in the correct
direction.
Then on the 2nd Saturn turns retrograde. Saturn appears to be slowing down at the opening of this thirteen day period prior to appearing to move retrograde or in reverse motion from the perspective of the Earth on March 2nd at 23 degrees of Scorpio. So during the beginning of the 1 - Transformation trecena, Saturn is stopping and at the peak of its power. 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. This is very different than Saturn in Libra. In Libra, Saturn had people trying to determine whether they can make a deeper commitment in their relationships or cut their losses before Saturn in Scorpio turns an annoyance into excruciating pain. Now people who did not make a commitment one way or the other in their relationships, are finding they are being forced to face the music and address the unpleasant issues they have been avoiding. These can be very difficult and often painful decisions. For me following my strategy and authority from my Human Design chart has been an amazing tool in making any decision during this time of uncertainty, where the consequences of choice will effect years to come. Saturn takes 29 years to make a complete orbit so we're talking several decades to fix some of these decisions. But that will be plenty of time to really understand the repercussions of choice for good or ill.
Saturn entered into its retrograde shadow period on November 26, 2013 when
it reached the point it will eventually turn direct at 16 degrees Scorpio,
which brought us a period of time where we received information regarding our
commitments that comes up for review under Saturn's retrograde period from
March 2nd to July 20th in 2014. This ultimately will yield a change in course
regarding these themes during the period from July 20th to October 25th. This
retrograde will also intensify the connection between Saturn and Pluto, with
Saturn in Pluto's sign of Scorpio and Pluto in Saturn's sign of Capricorn, we
have mutual reception between the two planets. Mutual reception means that
Pluto and Saturn are strengthening and supporting each other while Saturn
remains in Scorpio. That's the next three years. When I think of Saturn and
Pluto teaming up the words "karmic judgment" come to mind. To
understand how you will be personally impacted, look at the area governed by
the house of your astrological chart that contains the arc between 16 and 23
degrees of Scorpio. For me that is my sixth house of health and service, so Saturn
wants me to seriously work on how I can better serve people and make choices to
increase health. Saturn is the Roman counterpart to the Greek god Cronus.
Something interesting about Saturn, he underwent a metamorphosis in his meaning
in the pantheon of gods. Originally he was the god of generation, dissolution,
plenty, wealth, agriculture, renewal and liberation, which are themes currently
more associated in astrology with Jupiter, who is Saturn's son. Saturn's reign
was depicted as a golden age of peace and plenty, and was associated with Roman
festivals of feasting, free speech, gift giving and revelry, while with his
consort Rhea. But when he was associated with the goddess who received bloodied
weapons of enemies destroyed in war, Lua, we see the more familiar saturnian
qualities of limitation and restriction. 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
chosen.
Ok let's look
at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. February 20th 2014 for 1 - Cimi "key-mee" or
Transformation: unity experienced through releasing what no longer serves us,
as the Scorpio Moon finds support from the Sun, Neptune, and Jupiter, and is in
harmony with Pluto. The day's emotional influence moves from feeling
a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside world, to fantasies and
daydreams distracting us from accomplishing routine tasks, then later feelings
of inner and outer equanimity, and finally experiencing deep emotions on a
profound level. The 21st is 2 - man-eek" : duality
experienced through being
of service to others, as the Moon in Scorpio is challenged by Mercury, in
harmony with Venus, and merges with Saturn, which moves from our
moods influencing our ability to think rationally, to wanting to be with
friends and the people we love, and finally wanting to be alone in our thoughts
and feelings. February 22nd
is 3 - Lamat "la-maught"
or Star or Rabbit:
taking action through being
grateful for abundant relationships, while the Sagittarius last
quarter Moon is challenged by the Sun and Neptune, and finds support from
Uranus. The day goes from encountering challenges to our daily routines, to daydreams
and fantasies feeling more important than reality, and finally having the
impulse to engage in activities that make us feel more alive. The 23rd is 4 - Muluc
"moo-luke" or Offering: stability through appreciating creation, with the Sun conjunct Neptune which with
Neptune in the early degrees of Pisces, it feels like he is there to welcome
the other planets to his watery realm in the sign ruled by the lord of the
seas. Expanded consciousness, awareness of unseen energies, intuition, and
greater sensitivity are themes for the next month, with the Sun transiting the
sign of mysticism. When the Sun merges with Neptune, there are two distinct
sides of this transit, but being Neptune, it will be difficult to grasp which
one we are experiencing. The first is that our awareness gets stimulated, which
often brings difficulty thinking rationally. It brings a heightened sensitivity
and people will feel like they know each other more intuitively. Which
increases our compassion. It's as if our separateness dissolves and we become
them somehow. Which reminds me of the Mayan saying "In Lak’ech" which
means "I am another you". Overall this energy is great for helping people.
It also favors an interest in the occult or spiritual activities in hopes of
understanding the deeper truths hidden behind the veil of the mundane world.
The down side of this transit is all that sensitivity may lead folks to feel
psychologically exhausted, wanting to avoid interactions in our daily world and
instead engage our private inner world, with the possibility of daydreaming on
one end of the spectrum to avoiding reality through alcohol and/or drug usage.
Our bodies are more sensitive during this transit so the effects of substances
may be more difficult to control. Meditation and quiet contemplation would be
better channels for this energetic. Also on the 23rd the Moon in Sagittarius harmonizes
with Mercury which brings lots of chatting with friends, neighbors,
coworkers... and so on. February 24th
is 5 - Oc "awk" or Dog:
empowerment through enjoying
family and friends, with 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. Also on the 24th the Moon harmonizes with Mars, Neptune,
and the Sun, which influences our emotions from having the desire to work
independently from others, to being very sensitive to the moods of others, and
then feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds. The 25th is 6 - Chuen
"shoe-in" or Monkey:
being in the flow through creating
something new, as the Capricorn Moon is challenged by Uranus,
opposes Jupiter, merges with Pluto, and harmonizes with Saturn, which moves
from people likely to act hastily and jump to conclusions, while having feelings
of generosity, then later we have more intense moods rising to the surface from
deep in our psyches, and finally realistic expectations through being calm and
reflective. February 26th is 7 - Eb "eb" or Road: reflection through serving your community, with Jupiter square Uranus which continues the
ramping up of the infamous Uranus Pluto square into the cardinal Grand Cross in
April. Which has a wide swath of possibilities from an unexpected "out of
nowhere" lucky change of fortune to a major disruption in life that brings
sudden restlessness and the impatience that leads to effort to become free.
Whatever the scenario we find in our path, change is the only option. Freedom
is the overall theme to this transit, so we should consider the direction we
want to take, rather than just make a change to relieve some form of pressure.
If we avoid acting impulsively, we are likely to experience some opportunity
that leads to freedom from something that has caused us to feel restricted.
This alignment will have some folks feeling impatient and frustrated as both
planets seek freedom, but from different perspectives. Also on the 26th Pluto
sextiles Chiron which brings deep hidden and sometimes forgotten wounds to the
surface to be recognized and healed, while the Moon in Capricorn merges with Venus
and is challenged by Mars which moves from feeling cheerful, warm, gregarious,
and wanting to go out and socialize to later people feeling irritable which
could lead to needless disputes. February 27th is 8 Ben "ben" or Reed or
Corn: balance through maintaining
the home, with the Aquarius Moon harmonizing with Uranus, merging
with Mercury, and challenged by Saturn, this influences us emotionally from pleasant
yet restless feelings craving excitement to do something outside the daily routine,
to later having positive energy for integrating our thoughts and moods, and
finally people feeling
lonely or isolated. February 28th is 9 - Ix "eesh" or
Jaguar: patience experienced through enjoying nature, with the Sun trine Jupiter
which is one of the most positive transits bringing enthusiasm and optimism, it
can have the effect of people feeling lazy, but I would encourage folks to use
this energy to accomplish something good for yourself. This is a day to project
positive energy into the environment that can have some influence on your
affairs and accomplishing something you desire. Some will see this as
"dumb luck", but this transit has its roots in something that was
done in the recent past. This is great energy for making changes in your life
without feeling a sense of loss. This is also good for studying something of
interest to you, particularly subjects that help us to see the world as a whole. Mercury turns direct on the 28th at 18 degrees Aquarius 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 28th the
Moon finds support from Mars and merges with Neptune which goes from having the
energy for asserting
ourselves in a positive manner and standing our ground if necessary,
to later feelings of empathy for those around us, including the possibility of
clairvoyance and telepathic experiences for those of us who are sensitive by
nature. March 1st is 10 - Men "men" or Eagle: manifestation through seeing from a higher perspective,
while
we have the Pisces New Moon at 10 degrees,
supported by Jupiter and Saturn, merging with the Sun, and in harmony with
Pluto, this new moon represents new beginnings related to illuminating the intuitive unseen
realms inspiring spiritual and psychic experiences, but also brings the fog of
illusion. Jupiter in a favorable relationship
to this lunation and finds people having a
pleasant sense of wellbeing. Harmonizing with Pluto
has folks having deep emotions finding their way to the surface and felt on a
profound level. And supported by Saturn brings
people to settle into a more sober and realistic view of life. 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 39
minutes of Pisces to consider what area of your life is being activated by this
new moon. For me that
would be my tenth house of career and public standing, so I would set an
intension related to using this energy, such as finding new ways
to share my love of mystical subjects and spiritual growth with the outer world
to create new career opportunities. 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 deeper into
2014 as we begin a numerological 1 month. Certainly releasing outdated
limitations, to reveal a greater awareness of our authentic true self, our new
direction, and purpose. Also
on the 1st Mars
turns retrograde
highlighting our assertive and aggressive energy and beginning a time when more
effort is required to achieve the same results. March 2nd is 11 - Cib
"keeb" or Wisdom:
resolution through introspection, meditation and forgiveness, Saturn turns retrograde or appears to as if it is
moving backwards from our perspective on Earth, which begins reviewing past
plans to look for practical solutions. This is no small task given the Sun,
Neptune and Chiron in Pisces and Mercury are returning to Pisces on the 17th,
whose influence wants to flow, fortunately Saturn is in the water sign of
Scorpio so it can support the energy of the fishes as it looks at our motives
and ethics, as Saturn is looking for us to take responsibility for our values.
Also on the 2nd Venus squares Mars which tends to arouse interest in
the opposite sex that is physical and perhaps sexual in nature, but this energy
can also lead to discord if there are hidden tensions in a relationship.
Healthy relationships should not have difficulties during this transit, whose
function is to test the pairing. It's basically about on one side engaging in
what's pleasurable for you and your partner and on the other side where are the
tensions that lead to disputes that comes from unexpressed sexuality. The
amount of love energy will determine which way the dice will fall. This creates
difficulty for couples trying to keep interactions nice and easy, while not
expressing the drives that Mars is known for. Relationships begun under this
transit tend to be based only on physical attraction. Also
on the 2nd we have the Moon in Pisces in harmony with Venus which is about
having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones. The 3rd is 12 - Caban
"kah-ban" or Earth:
understanding through gratitude
for Mother Earth, while the Sun sextiles Pluto which empowers
us make changes in our immediate environment and reform the aspects of our
lives that have brought us unhappiness over time. Embrace the opportunities on
the 3rd that can be used for the improvement of the general good. This is good
energy for cleaning up a situation that has become confused or disordered, such
as getting clear on a difficult personal situation or even cleaning house. This
also brings us deeper in our thoughts with a feeling that superficial aspects
are no longer adequate. Investigations should be thorough, leaving no stone
unturned. Subjects such as psychology, occult, yoga, and other transformative
techniques are favored for study under this influence. Also on the 3rd the Aries Moon is challenged by Jupiter
and Pluto, merges with Uranus, and in harmony with Mercury, which moves us from
benevolent
and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment, with people
feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and
unexpectedly, then later having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be
good for us in the long run, and finally being very social and talkative. March 4th is 13 - Etznab "etz-nob"
or Flint: movement to the
next stage through being
introspective, while the Sun conjuncts Chiron, which illuminates our past wounds
so we can engage in conscious healing. While the Moon is opposed
by Mars, challenged by Venus, and in harmony with Neptune, which influences
people to be more excitable and irritable which can cause problems in our
personal lives, to later pleasant energy for being with the others we want to
know better, and finally greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible
psychic impressions for those who are open.
So no
matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Transformation 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.
Thank you for checking out New World Birth. The next segment of
"Care and feeding of a New World Age" will be on March 5th 2014
for 1 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm, with Venus moving
into Aquarius, Jupiter turning direct, the Virgo Full Moon, and Mercury moving
into Pisces. You can check us out on Facebook, YouTube and the Mayan Majix
website. I encourage you to share this
information as videos or text as widely as you choose. I'll be discussing the astrology of March 2014, and
providing short Human Design readings to the participants on the "Earth
needs Rebels" show on Orion Talk Radio on March 3rd. We are currently
thinking of streamlining these videos by covering planetary astrology and the
Tzolkin, but dropping the daily lunar activity with the exception of New and
Full Moons. Let us know what you think. As always I invite you to contact me at newworldbirth@yahoo.com if you have any
questions or wish to schedule a reading. I am providing readings and wish to
make this service available to the greatest amount of folks, so I’ve created
three options with three levels of compensation. These readings are designed to
provide information to help you navigate these difficult times. At the basic
level we will look at your human design chart to help you understand how to use
your individual strategy and authority in making life decisions based on your
unique design. I include the next three months of astrological transits as they
relate to your natal and progressed astrology charts, along with the human
design reading at the middle level. At the top level the human design and
astrological transit reading will be recorded and sent to you as an MP3 file to
be downloaded to your computer. So if you've been thinking about getting a
reading, please contact me, as I would like to provide you a reading during
these uncertain times. You will need to be able to either call me in Maine in
the U.S.A. or connect with Skype to receive your reading. We are also accepting
donations to keep these reports freely available. As always I am blessed that
you've taken the time to connect with my passion for these ancient mysteries
and their application to our journey during this incarnation. The light in me
honors the light in you… Namaste – In Lak’ech - <3
