Human Design Weekly Neutrino Forecast for February 22nd to February 28th 2015

This is the "Weekly Neutrino Forecast for February 22nd to February 28th 2015".

    On February 22nd we have the Sun in Pisces and also in the 55th hexagram. The Sun in the 55th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, which is the 55th gate of "Spirit (Abundance); Abundance is strictly a question of spirit," Located on the Solar Plexus center in an Individual energy path in the Knowing Circuit, called the "Channel of Emoting: A design of Moodiness" that connects to the 39th gate of “the Provocateur (Obstruction); The value of obstruction in provoking analysis, assessment, and reevaluation.”  I have found HD to be amazingly accurate in describing the person, that I use it as my primary tool when I provide readings. We have the following activated gates on February 22nd; the Sun in the 55th gate, the Earth in the 59th gate, North node in the 48th gate and the South Node in the 21, Mercury in the 41st gate, Venus in the 25, Mars in the 25, Jupiter retrograde in the 7th, Saturn in the 34th, Uranus in the 21, Neptune in the 37, and Pluto in the 38th gate. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. You can get your HD chart by going to jovianarchive.com, clicking on the button that says "Get your free Rave Chart," and entering your birth information.

The neutrino forecast is just a weather report, no matter what the weather an individual's strategy and authority is the correct choice to have an authentic experience regardless of the program. As Ra Uru Hu said "Whatever the weather is going to be, you have your neutrino umbrella. As long as you are experimenting with your strategy and authority, the weather is for your pleasure."

We begin the week with no channel definitions due to the transit field.

We are going to look at the Sun's Rave I'Ching line values daily because 70% of the neutrinos we receive come from the Sun and as Ra said in "Living with the Program: The Lines of the Day" when talking about these daily shifts of line values, he said "We can always take advantage of the themes of the day." If your strategy and authority does not lead you in that direction, you can always notice how the program is affecting others in your environment. So let's get started.

February 22nd begins with the Sun in the 4th line of the 55th hexagram where the Sun is described as "Assimilation: exalted: The establishment of a framework that balances principals with energy and leads inevitably to expansion and prosperity. The possible spirit that comes when emotional awareness and energy are balanced and principled. detrimented: Boundless energy that knows no restraint. Boundless energy that ignores awareness at the risk of spirit." Fourth line days change from inward perspective to looking outward. Themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction. People are more open to networking, to being friendly and social. Later on the 22nd the Sun moves into 5th line of the 55th hexagram at 3:04 pm EST. The Sun in the 55.5 is detrimented and described as "Growth: detrimented: An integrative openness that in its broad acceptance of advice may be eventually eclipsed. An emotional openness where the spirit is at risk from conditioning." Fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Projection or seduction are themes of a fifth line day.

On the 23rd the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 55th hexagram at 1:24 pm EST. The Sun in the 55.6 is "Selfishness: exalted: Acquisition obsession that though alienating, is still indirectly beneficial materially to others. The possibility of finding spirit through materialism. detrimented: Where the material abundance exists, but no one gets to share the light. The possibility that materialism becomes obsessive with a 'mean' spirit that will not share." Sixth line days are about "not to get stuck with your head in the clouds because you'll end up having something bang into your kneecaps." A day where there is a real lack of focus of what's going on around you, because folks are looking beyond their immediate environment. Like a 3rd line day there are certain dangers. Not seeing the car coming. Not seeing the bill coming. Also on the 23rd Mercury, moves from the 41 to the 19 and Venus moves from the 25th gate leaving Mars, to the 17th hexagram. Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, is communication, expansion of human consciousness through communication not just as words but also music. What do you need to communicate in this life? We communicate the message of the design Mercury through the medium of the personality Mercury. What might be communicated with Mercury in the 19? The pressure to make sure community exists and that is has the needed resources to support the tribe. This is the gate of "Wanting (Approach): That all things are interrelated is apparent and manifested through the action of approach," and Mercury in the 19.1 is "Interdependence: exalted: The successful approach that does not lose its individual character in acceptance. The pressure of wanting without losing one's identity when accepted by others. detrimented: The tendency once an approach is accepted to get stuck in continued reflection at the expense of continued development. The pressure for acceptance which fears eventual rejection". Also on the 23rd Venus moves from the 25th gate leaving Mars, to the 17th hexagram. In HD, Venus is very powerful and deeply misunderstood according to Ra. It brings morality, natural law in which we deal with the other and the consequences of the world around us. What disturbs you at a moral level? Your design and personality Venuses tell you the moral dilemma you're going to work with in your life. If you do not act with moral clarity, Venus can be unkind in its retribution. Venus in the 17th Gate of "Opinions (Following); The ancient law that those who wish to rule must know how to serve". Venus is detrimented in the 17.1 and described as "Openness: detrimented: a tendency to limit openness to aesthetically pleasing stimuli. The possibility to limit opinions to what is pleasing."

On the 24th the Sun moves from the 55th, to the 37th, joining Neptune, and Earth moves from the 59th Hexagram, to the 40th Hexagram, and the gate of "Aloneness (Deliverance); The point of transition between struggle and liberation." This shift happens at 11:45 am EST, with the Sun in the 37th gate of "Friendship (The Family); The manifestation macro- and micro-cosmically of the organic nature of communities," and the Sun in the 37.1 is "The mother/father: A position of inherent respect that ensures a focus for the development of guidelines. exalted: Harmony is the key to successful maintenance of relationships. It is only through harmony that the beauty and values of the family can endure. Friendship that is rooted in sensitivity and ensures harmony. detrimented: No planet in detriment." When the Sun is in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lines, those days people look inward and are absorbed with their own process. The theme of a first line day is fear or anxiety that needs to be investigated. A day to study, not to act. Day to look into things, not jump. Good day to deal with things you don't understand, can't make sense of or don't know. Also on the 24th Mars moves from the 25th hexagram, into the 17th joining Venus. Mars in the gate of "Opinions (Following); The ancient law that those who wish to rule must know how to serve". Mars is exalted in the 1st line of the 17, but also detrimented by Venus also being in the 17, which is "Openness: exalted: The energy to sustain a broad spectrum of stimuli. The possibility of having many opinions. detrimented: a tendency to limit openness to aesthetically pleasing stimuli. The possibility to limit opinions to what is pleasing." Ra spoke of Mars being an extraordinary and immature energy resource, that lacks refinement, and is subject to outbursts. Mars represents the warrior archetype. By following our strategy and authority we slowly refine the energy of our design and personality Mars from immaturity to wisdom. The 40-37, along with the 34-20 and the 43-23, is one of the three polarities that form a channel, and with the Sun Earth axis in the 37-40 we have the Channel of Community until March 2nd. This definition brings the energy where people will wonder where they belong in the scheme of things and then try to live that out. It will be a time of thinking about marriage and family as the foundation of community. Fairness becomes more important under the influence of the Channel of Community. Balance becomes important in all aspects of life. People will explore how they fit into their community and on a mystical level, where they fit in the universe and what their true purpose is. This impacts people as they think they need to be supportive of those beings around them and they get pulled into things related to community. With the defined Ego center, people without a defined heart center may feel as if they have something to prove and make promises or commitments that are not correct for them, and the defined Solar Plexus, for those who do not have emotional definition this channel, can bring the unfamiliar wave of emotions and perhaps lead to acting confrontational.

On the 25th the Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 37th hexagram at 10:07 am EST. The Sun in the 37.2 is "Responsibility: exalted: The understanding of the principal of individual responsibility as the foundation for successful cooperation. The possibility of friendship through individual responsibility. detrimented: A tendency to point out the responsibility of others. The possibility that friendship will lead to pointing out the responsibilities of others". Second line days everyone is waiting for something. Waiting for the call. People are stuck in their own trip. Not a great day to have a party because no one will want to come.

On the 26th the Sun moves into the 3rd line of the 37th hexagram, at 8:30 am EST. The Sun in the 37.3 is "Evenhandedness: The success of any group is dependent on maintaining order. exalted: The ability to judge what behavior is appropriate and react in a balanced manner to transgressions. The possibility to have the sensitivity to know what behavior is appropriate in a relationship. detrimented: An ironic tendency to either test incessantly the borders of acceptability or to respond to the very same tendency in others with severity. The possible lack of sensitivity to what behavior is appropriate." Third line days, be careful on the roads. Be careful of swinging doors or swinging elbows. This is a day where we might have bonds made or broken. 3rd line day is about trial and error and things bump into you. It's a good material day. A good day to do business and work on the material plane, but you also have to be careful because things can go wrong. Things that lead to discovery.

On the 27th the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 37th hexagram at 6:53 am EST where the Sun in the 37.4 is described as "Leadership by example: Any member of the family may take on a leading role through exemplary behavior. exalted: The manifestation of the highest principles in everyday practical affairs. The possibility of the highest principles in all relationships resulting in a leadership role. detrimented: A conservatism that generally only accepts the leadership of the father, who may or may not be a valued role model. The possibility of being insensitive to the leadership of anyone other than those accepted by tradition." Fourth line days change from inward perspective to looking outward. Themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction. People are more open to networking, to being friendly and social.

On the 28th the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 37th hexagram at 5:17 am EST. The Sun in the 37.5 is described as "Love: Natural and unaffected devotion to the family. exalted: Natural harmony and perfect sharing. Natural harmony and sharing possible through friendship. detrimented: Emotional dependency that often turns love into hatred. The possibly of dependence turning love into hate." Fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Projection or seduction are themes of a fifth line day. Also on the 28th Mercury, move from the 19 to the 13 and Venus moves from the 17th hexagram leaving Mars, to the 21st gate joining Uranus and the South Node. Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, is communication, expansion of human consciousness through communication not just as words but also music. What do you need to communicate in this life? We communicate the message of the design Mercury through the medium of the personality Mercury. What might be communicated with Mercury in the 13? Secrets. This is the gate of "The Listener (The Fellowship of Man); Universal ideas and values in an ordered framework which inspires humanistic cooperation." Mercury in the 13.1 is "Empathy, The ability to relate and commune with equanimity. exalted: Harmony through affection. A role of openness in listening to others with affection. detrimented: The politician kissing babies. An openness that is never free of motives." Also on the 28th Venus moves from the 17th hexagram leaving Mars, to the 21st gate joining Uranus and the South Node. In HD, Venus is very powerful and deeply misunderstood according to Ra. It brings morality, natural law in which we deal with the other and the consequences of the world around us. What disturbs you at a moral level? Your design and personality Venuses tell you the moral dilemma you're going to work with in your life. If you do not act with moral clarity, Venus can be unkind in its retribution. Venus in the 21st Gate of "The Hunter/Huntress (Biting Through); The justified and necessary use of power in overcoming deliberate and persistent interference." Venus in the 21.1 is "Warning: The use of force as a last resort. exalted: The fierceness to be respected without recourse to action. The will power and ego to ensure respect. detrimented: An inherent peacefulness that all too often turns a necessary warning into a plea. A lack of will power that is forced to ask for respect."

As we wrap up the week with the Sun transiting through the Gate of Spirit and into the Gate of Friendship, I thought we might discuss the upcoming change in the global cycle, as the precession of the equinoxes moves from the 37.1 to the 55.6 in 2027. The Earth experiences a slow wobble on its axis which over time moves the degree of the Sun during the vernal equinox backwards through the Zodialogical signs and the corresponding hexagrams. The spring equinox Sun has been in the 37th hexagram's 1st line since the early 1960's, and in 2027 it backs into the 6th line of 55th hexagram that brings a mutation to the 55th gate and the Solar Plexus. Currently the Solar Plexus is an awareness center along with the Splenic and Ajna centers, and a motor along with the Root, Sacral, and Ego centers, but after the mutation, the Solar Plexus in children born in 2027 and afterward will only be an awareness center. The motor that generates the emotional wave will remain in those born before the mutation, but those born with the mutation will only have an awareness center in the Solar Plexus. This new form of human being is called the Rave. This will mean that for those folks born with the mutation, the 22-12 and the 36-35 will be projector channels. We will also see an increase in the quad-right variable as humans continue to shift from being strategic left brain/mind thinkers to receptive right brain/mind thinkers. This shift is already evident in the increase of diagnosis's of Autism Spectrum disorders.  Overall this will be a major shift for humanity. We are currently experiencing the wrap-up of global cycle in the 37th hexagram as we see the decay of community, particularly in the support safety net programs that are being slowly dismantled as we move towards a new era of the individual. When Neptune's veil was transiting the 55, I believe most people were blinded to how extraordinary this change will be. This seems to be becoming much clearer now that Neptune has moved into the 37th hexagram and no longer bringing its veil to the gate where the mutation will occur.

    When we look at the Cross of Planning associated with the gates of the 37, 40, 16, and 9, we have spoken about the 37-40 and its support for community, but what about the 16 and the 9? The 16th gate is the gate of skills and the 9th gate is the potential to be able to work with the energy for detail and focus. The 40-37 is the background frequency with the Sun Earth axis at the end of this week, where everything is dedicated to community. The 16 in the Cross of Planning brings us the skills for science and education that are shared to support the community, which has brought us the complex global community that we currently live in. As the breakdown of the Cross of Planning continues we are moving towards the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, and the empowerment of individuals not as leaders but as guides, through acting as themselves. Ra said "the future is about the individual, it isn't about collective dependency. It's not about being able to trust that someone is going to be able to act on your behalf." We can see this as the infrastructure is decaying. Here in the US, and I suspect elsewhere, our government is underfunding education so it will collapse and be ripe for privatization, as has happened with the prison system. Citizens United has made individual fortunes more politically important than votes. Social Security and water rights are moving towards privatization. The transportation systems and their infrastructure is decaying and collapsing. Human Design is about using our strategy and authority to inspire our unique integrity regardless of what's going on in the macro-cosmism. Act as yourself and observe the global movie in this time of transition.

    So no matter what energies are conditioning you during the week, remember this experience is about being a passenger riding in a vehicle driven by the magnetic monopole. So enjoy the scenery, and let the vehicle take you where you need to go, through using your strategy and authority. 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.

Astrology and Mayan Tzolkin for February 19th to March 3rd 2015

This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of February 19th and 1 – Oc "awk" or Dog in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with Mars, followed by Venus entering Aries, and the metaphysics of March. 

    February 19th for 1 – Oc "awk" or Dog which carries the themes of loyalty, playfulness, sensuality, team work, protection, generosity, warm-heartedness, guidance, commitment, justice, fidelity, consistency, family and friends, and the faithful companion during times of darkness. William and Viola of tzolkincalendar.com write "The Yucatec Mayan name for this sign literally means door, portal or gateway and symbolizes the journey we all make from one world to the other, not only in death but also as we transform inwardly and rebirth ourselves. Thus Dog, as our Underworld companion and guide through darkness, represents faith and loyalty surviving even after death." I found that dogs seem to be associated with the afterlife across cultures where the dead were buried. I think that might be because they were scavengers who would dig up graves and when they consumed the corpse they were considered to ingest the soul as well as the flesh of the dead. Anubis was the jackal-headed god of the afterlife in ancient Greece, also portrayed as a black dog. The Greeks and Romans associated Anubis with star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, known in most mythologies throughout the world as the 'Dog Star'. Cerberus is the three-headed dog who guards the gates of Hades by allowing people to enter but not leave. The three heads may represent the past, present and future, or youth, adulthood, and old age. In ancient Irish mythology references to dogs are numerous which means they were an important symbol to Celts. The dogs were also magical and could heal people by licking their wounds. In Norse mythology the world of the dead is overseen by a monstrous dog, named Garm. In Hinduism and Buddhism there are two dogs, with four eyes each, which accompany Yama, the lord of the dead. They served Yama by looking out for those who are about to die. In Aztec mythology, the departed soul descends to the underworld after death and comes to a river guarded by a yellow dog. Guardian hounds occur widely in shamanic Otherworldly lore. Archaeological evidence and mythology has recurring examples of dogs in the role of 'psycopomps', the guides on the paths to the Otherworld, which is the role they play in Mayan mythology as guides who bare torches to assist humans in their descent into the dark underworld. This Dog trecena or 13 day period is a great time to use faith and courage to illuminate any dark areas in our lives and share our warmhearted guidance to assist others through the door that leads to the light.

    Since we begin a new Gregorian month during this trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. March is the third month and with the digits for 2015, 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 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 March 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.  March also brings us our first eclipse of 2015 on the Equinox, Spring in the North and Autumn in the South. The time between the Total Solar Eclipse on the 20th and the third of the Tetrad of Total Lunar Eclipses on April 3rd, we are experiencing circumstances that step up the action, with a sense that if we don't launch ourselves in new directions we may be left behind. We begin the month with the Sun and Neptune in Pisces, joined by Mercury on the 12th, while Venus and Mars in Aires create tension with Pluto in Capricorn as the energy builds toward the seventh and final Uranus Pluto square on March 16th.

     Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Oc "awk" or Dog, on the 19th all the planets appear to be moving forward from our vantage point on Earth, except Jupiter which appears 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. Jupiter retrograde in Leo brings a review of opportunities, faith, religion, beliefs and expansion. Leo is about leadership, creativity, drama, entertainment, and children. 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.

February 19th for 1 – Oc "awk" or Dog: unity experienced through enjoying family and friends, with Mars entering Aries which is the sign of its rulership, and will transit until March 31st. This brings more energy to individual pursuits, but becomes discontent having to follow other peoples orders. Folks may become more courageous, honest and confident under the Aries Martian influence, but also tactless, blunt, and combative. Venus follows Mars into Aries on the 20^th and merges with Mars on the 22^nd, so the time period between the 19^th and the 23^rd could bring more intense interactions regarding our individual needs and the needs of our relationships, which has potential for arguments but also an opportunity to address issues left unaddressed until now. Also on the 19th 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 change 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. With focus and concentration from Saturn influencing our minds and communication, Mercury, this transit favors business dealings with practicality and stability. Also on the 19th the Moon in Pisces is challenged by Saturn, merges with Neptune, and harmonizes with Pluto which begins with people feeling lonely or isolated, then shifts to feelings of empathy for those around us, including the possibility of clairvoyance and telepathic experiences for those of us who are sensitive by nature, and finally experiencing deep emotions on a profound level. 

The 20th is 2 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: duality experienced through creating something new, with Venus entering Aries continuing 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, but also conflicts over individual needs and the needs of the relationship as Venus is in its detriment in the sign opposite Libra, which Venus rules. Also on the 20th the Aries Moon merges with Venus and Mars which shifts from which feeling cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and socialize, to later experiencing irritable moods and critical communications.

February 21st is 3 - Eb "eb" or Road : taking action through serving your community, while the Moon in Aries finds support from Saturn and Jupiter, harmonizes with Mercury, merges with Uranus, and is challenged by Pluto. This is a very busy day with the emotional influence moving from settling into a more sober and realistic view of life, followed by lots of chatting with friends, neighbors, or coworkers, then people feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly, later having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, and finally having feelings of inner and outer equanimity.

The 22nd is 4 - Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: stability through maintaining the home, when we have Venus merging with Mars which brings a strong desire for physical passion and sexual experiences. People may be more aggressive in finding partnership. This can also cause arguments with people of the opposite sex. It certainly arouses our creative energy particularly if it has a physical component to the activity, favoring sculpture over water color painting and performing music or theater over writing songs or poetry. Also on the 22nd the Moon in Aries makes no angles and is void of course until moving into Taurus, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.

 

February 23rd is 5 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: empowerment through enjoying nature, while the Sun squares Saturn which has people feeling unlucky and brings up issues that are difficult to handle but the effect doesn't last more than a few days. It really brings up two questions. What do you owe others? and what do you owe yourself? This is a conflict between self gratification and duty to others. This tension between two poles may seem limiting and depressing, as we want to break out of this rut, but find that the restrictions are holding us back from being ourselves. Folks will not want to go to work or school or interact with people they prefer not associate with. This can bring resentments as obstacles interfere with our wishes to do what we want. Under this influence people make assumptions without checking the facts, which is not favorable for relationships with authority figures. The best use of this transit is to channel the energy into self discipline. Often others are not holding us back, but we are projecting our internal restraint outwards onto people in our immediate environment. This is a low physical and psychological energy transit, so you may feel the weight of the world is to heavy. It may also bring up questions that we have been avoiding answering and negative thoughts. This transit shows our vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and gives us an idea about what we can work on to gain greater confidence. Also on the 23rd the Taurus Moon harmonizes with the Sun and Neptune, is challenged by Mercury and Jupiter, and finds support from Pluto, which brings an emotionally changing day that moves from feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds, to being very sensitive to the moods of others, followed by our moods influencing our ability to think rationally, then feeling on a deeper more intense level under the influence of Pluto, and finally having benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment.

The 24th is 6 - Men "men" or Eagle: being in the flow through seeing from a higher perspective, with Venus trine Saturn brings some reliability, stability and a clearer perspective on our relationships. People will recognize their loved one as human, and as long as we live up to our obligations they will likely do the same. Venus is also about money so this may have folks being more conservative with their limited resources. Relationships begun under this transit tend to be stable and sobering, more practical than romantic. Also on the 24th the Moon in Taurus makes no angles and is void of course until moving into Gemini, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.

February 25th is 7 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: reflection through introspection, meditation and forgiveness, with Mars trine Saturn, with Saturn's support Mars finds patience and the willingness to do difficult and precision work. This is a rare time when Mars' usual erratic and impulsive energy can be focused and concentrated on a task that demands constant attention, even if the job is not rewarding or glamorous. Also on the 25^th we have the Sun conjunct Neptune which is about 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 25th the first quarter Gemini Moon harmonizes with Mars and Venus, is opposed by Saturn, challenged by the Sun and Neptune, and finds support from Mercury. A day that is very busy under the emotional lunar influence moving from having the desire to work independently from others, while feeling lonely and isolated, followed by wanting to be with friends and the people we love, then encountering challenges to our daily routines, with daydreams and fantasies feeling more important than reality, and finally being more in touch with our feelings and able to share them with others.

The 26th is 8 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth: balance through gratitude for Mother Earth, with Moon in Gemini harmonizing with Uranus and Jupiter which shifts from having pleasant yet restless feelings craving emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine to later feeling in the flow and having a sense of wholeness.

February 27th is 9 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: patience experienced through being introspective, with the Cancer Moon is challenged by Mars and supported by Neptune which moves from people feeling irritable which could lead to needless disputes to later our innermost subconscious fantasies and daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work. 

The 28th is 10 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: manifestation through recognizing the gifts in adversity, while the Moon in Cancer is challenged by Venus and Uranus, finds support from the Sun, and is opposed by Pluto, which begins with having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones, and feeling a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside world, then later folks acting hasty and jumping to conclusions that may not be correct, followed by deep emotions rising to the surface.

March 1st is 11 - Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: resolution through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, while Mercury sextiles Uranus and opposes Jupiter. Mercury sextile Uranus, which brings new discoveries and new people into our lives with an overall sense of excitement and innovation as Mercury interacts with its higher octave planet Uranus. Flexibility is helpful to experience this transit with its excitement and interest, if you find this disruptive you may want to examine your attitude regarding deviating from the preordained plan of the day. This is good for looking at old problems, that have troubled you in the past, with fresh eyes. Challenges may be approached as new puzzles to solve as thinking becomes more inspired. Not a day where you will be content to follow your usual routine, so leave some room for spontaneity with new ideas and experiences being the reward of going with the flow. 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. Also on the 1st the Moon in Cancer makes no angles and is void of course until moving into Leo, 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 2nd is 12 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: understanding through nurturing new beginnings, with the Leo Moon is supported by Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Uranus, and merges with Jupiter. This is a very busy day with the emotional influence moving from having a sober realistic view of life, then feeling a little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a positive manner, followed by enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions, and finally having the impulse to engage in activities that make us feel more alive, along with good feelings and generosity towards others.

March 3rd is 13 - Ik "eek" or Wind: movement to the next stage through communication, with retrograde Jupiter trine Uranus which brings the desire for expression by doing something outside of the normal routine. Folks will want to experience a new type of freedom and to discover aspects of living that until now were unknown. The inner effect is to explore metaphysical and philosophical matters for inner truth, and outwardly through some new activity. People are more open to new ideas which may lead to diverting from the path that has turned into a rut. This transit can bring a sudden surprise opportunity or some sort of new chance that can be beneficial. Also on the 3rd the Moon in Leo is opposed by Mercury which may have some feeling 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 Dog 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.
