This is the "Care and feeding
of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of September 28th
2015 and 1 – Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with
Venus returning to Virgo, and Mercury turning direct.
September 28th
is 1 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey carries the themes of new beginnings, good fortune, innocent
curiosity leading to artistic expression, mischief similar to "Coyote
spirit" and trickster gods in many native traditions, generosity, the
"Jack of All Trades", weaving the threads of time, craftsmanship, and
wisdom keeping. 1 - Monkey is the 131st day in the 260 day Tzolkin calendar
marking the beginning of the second half of the round. The calendar starts with
Crocodile as the primal nurturing energy for beginnings and the second half
begins with Monkey as the artisan who creates something new. These are
arbitrary points as many different Mayan groups celebrate different days to
begin the Tzolkin round and ultimately it is just that, round like a circle
having no beginning or end. The 1- Monkey trecena is a good thirteen day period
to be generous with your creativity, wisdom, curiosity, and time to help others
explore new beginnings and, in doing so, discovering something new in yourself.
It's interesting that Mercury is completing
its retrograde cycle and turning direct during the Monkey trecena of the Mayan
Tzolkin calendar, because the Monkey also represented the trickster to the
Maya. In the Mayan "Popul Vuh" the hero
twins, who are mistreated by their half brothers, trick their brothers into
climbing a tree where they are transformed into monkeys, which is how the
Monkey day sign became connected to the trickster archetype.
Since we begin a new Gregorian month during
this trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. October is the tenth
month and with the digits for 2015, 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. The
new cycle begins in November of 2015. As a nine month, October 2015 is about
completing tasks and projects that were initiated in February, 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. October is
about clearing out the old people, places, and things to make room for their
new counterparts which will emerge in November. 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. This quote from Michel de Montaigne from Of Solitude represents the
Hermit archetype, "The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong
to oneself." So October this year represents completion the numerological
cycle to prepare for new beginnings in November, which is supported by Mercury
retrograde completing its reviewing the past. Also the Hermit is the Virgo card
in the Tarot while we have a stellium building in Virgo, with Mars and Jupiter
in the sign of the maiden, joined by Venus on the 8th, then followed by the
Moon later on 8th the where it finishes out the trecena. Virgo is about health,
service and helping others. Venus and Jupiter are benefics in astrology, so
this October has emphasis on being benefited through providing service. And
Mars in the sign gives drive to be industrious in helping others during the
Hermit’s attention to detail and completing what has been begun. This also
benefits our actions (Mars) to improve our health (Virgo) which in turn helps
our appearance (Venus) and our longevity (Jupiter). I think serving others
(Virgo) will bring expansion of opportunities (Jupiter) and the things we value
(Venus) through the efforts we make (Mars).
Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Chuen
"shoe-in" or Monkey, on
the 28th all the planets appear to be moving forward from our vantage point on
Earth, except Mercury, Chiron,
Uranus, and Neptune 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. Mercury is retrograde in Libra until the 9th which
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.
That may seem impossible, so if you can avoid these activities a few days
before and after Mercury changing directions on the 9th, when the energy is at
its most potent, would be beneficial. 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. Chiron retrograde in
Pisces is about releasing stuck emotional energy, so that we can return to the
natural flow of life. Retrograde Chiron has us reviewing our wounds so that
they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or
pain associated with our past. When Chiron is in Pisces people are willing to
sacrifice their individual pain in hopes of finding bliss in Universal
consciousness. At its worst this can manifest as folks justifying their
victimhood as some form of martyrdom. This should be transcendence and surrender
without losing ourselves in the experience. Uranus in Aries retrograde until December
26th. Uranus seeks to shake our very foundation through the unexpected
rebellion of the individual. Retrograde Uranus in Aries will have people
wanting to hurry the process of getting free. To push the river of revolution
whether it be personal or political. Neptune retrograde is seeking transcendence through spiritual experiences.
This will be a time to use spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand
our intuition and consciousness. Both Neptune and Pisces, the sign it rules,
tend to be dreamy, imaginative, difficult to nail down due to their qualities
of illusion and illumination often without any way to know which is which. They
represent compassion and co-dependence, selflessness and loss of self, higher
purpose and substance abuse, in their inspiration to transcend the material
plane and experience something beyond words and thoughts.
Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena.
September 28th is 1
- Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: unity experienced
through creating something new in the Mayan
Tzolkin calendar, with the Aries Moon opposed by Mercury, challenged by Pluto,
and merging with Uranus which shifts some feeling a real conflict between feelings and reason and
others having fruitful expressions of their deeper awareness either internally
or with another, then later having the compulsion to act in ways that may not
be good for us in the long run, and finally people feeling impulsive and acting
rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly.
The 29th is 2 – Eb "eb" or Road: duality experienced
through serving your community, as the Moon finds support from Venus and
Mars which moves from enjoying social interactions with others, followed by feeling
a little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a
positive manner.
September
30th is
3 – Ben "ben" or
Reed or Corn: taking action through maintaining the home, while the Sun conjuncts retrograde Mercury which prior to turning retrograde Mercury appears to be way
out in front of the Sun, then retrogrades back to conjoin the Sun, and then
falls behind the Sun. Prior to mechanized warfare Generals would send their
cavalry ahead of the infantry to scout out the enemy's location, find possible
resources, as well as the lay of the terrain to move the troops with maximum
efficiency, safety and to their strategic advantage. I like to think of Mercury
when it is stretching out in front of the Sun as gathering intelligence to
report back to our consciousness' during its conjunction to the Sun. Also on the 30th the
Taurus Moon in harmony with Neptune, and supported by Jupiter and Pluto which
shifts from greater sensitivity to
others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open,
followed by people having a pleasant sense of wellbeing, and finally feeling on
a deeper more intense level under the influence of Pluto.
October 1st is 4 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: stability through enjoying
nature, with the Moon challenged by Venus and Mars, and opposed by Saturn, the
days emotional energy moves from having pleasant energy to be with friends and
loved ones, then later people feel lonely and isolated, and finally folks feeling
irritable which could lead to needless disputes.
October 2nd is 5 - Men
"men" or Eagle: empowerment through seeing from a higher
perspective, while the Gemini Moon is supported by Mercury and the Sun, and
challenged by Neptune and Jupiter. The day begins with feeling in touch with
our emotions and expressing them to others, followed by daydreams and fantasies
feeling more important than reality, then later feeling a sense of inner harmony which is
mirrored in the outside world, and finally having benevolent and generous
feelings for those in our immediate environment.
The 3rd is 6 – Cib
"keeb" or Wisdom: being in the flow through introspection, meditation
and forgiveness, with the Moon in Gemini harmonizing with Uranus and
Venus, which shifts from having pleasant yet restless feelings craving
emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine, to later wanting
to be with friends and the people we love.
October 4th is 7 – Caban
"kah-ban" or Earth: reflection through gratitude for Mother
Earth, while the last quarter Cancer Moon is challenged by Mercury and the Sun,
in harmony with Mars and Jupiter, supported by Neptune, and opposed by Pluto. This
brings a busy day of emotional stimulus that goes from our moods influencing
our ability to think rationally, followed by the desire to work independently from others, then fantasies and
daydreams distracting us from accomplishing routine tasks, later we encounter challenges to our daily routines with feeling in the flow and having a sense of
wholeness, and finally deep emotions rising to the surface.
The 5th is 8 Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: balance through being introspective, with the Moon in
Cancer challenged by Uranus which has folks acting hasty and jumping to
conclusions that may not be correct.
October 6th is 9 – Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm:
patience experienced through recognizing the gifts in adversity, while the Sun squares Pluto, which brings a tense time period
when the Libra Sun squares Pluto in Capricorn, and powerful forces that test us
from within and without. These tests may lead us to make radical changes in
some area of our life that is not working very well. This can be very
beneficial for letting go of the old patterns or behaviors that come up for examination
at this time. Holding on to what is not working will just make life more
difficult. This transit also indicates that persons in authority may demand
that we account for our actions or even ourselves. Some people will abuse the
power they are wielding under this influence. Also this indicates a breakdown
of situations and machinery. No matter what your experience something will make
you aware that it needs fixing, and my advice is to fix it whether it's a
machine, a relationship, a behavior, or pattern that no longer works. Also on
the 6th 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 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. Also on the 6th Mars opposes Neptune
which can feel debilitating, as it can bring feelings of inadequacy and
discouragement. Physical energy also tends to be low when Mars dances with
Neptune, rest and avoiding undue stress are indicated, rather than trying to
push through which could lead to illness. Also take care with interactions with
others as folks are more likely to misrepresent themselves, and avoid becoming
involved in deceiving others as well. This transit may also bring about
unpleasant consequences to past actions that were less than truthful. Mars
opposing Neptune favors working in seclusion, social work, or any activity that
is in the interest of other people. Also on the 6th the Leo Moon finds support
from Saturn and harmony from Mercury which shifts from having a sober realistic view of life, to
later people feeling chatty and having numerous conversations.
The
7th is 10
– Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: manifestation through honoring the wisdom and memory
of our ancestors, while the Moon in Leo harmonizes with the Sun and is
supported by Uranus which moves from feeling balance between our inner and
outer worlds, followed by having the impulse to engage in activities that make
us feel more alive.
October 8th is 11 – Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile:
resolution through nurturing new beginnings, with Venus
enters Virgo
which brings a level of caution to
romance and socializing. This will be a time when people want to feel special
in the eyes of their partners. For some reason this placement of Venus tends to
promote scandal. This can also bring a love for the world at large rather than
just one person. With Venus
is in Virgo, the sign ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is in Libra, the sign ruled
by Venus, we have Mutual Reception between the two planets. This means they
assist each other and that their energies merge, with folks putting more
thought into their friendships, and social connections until Mercury changes signs
on November 2nd. Also on the 8th the Virgo Moon merges with Venus and is
challenged by Saturn, which shifts from which feels cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and
socialize, to later people feeling lonely or isolated.
The
9th is 12 -
Ik "eek" or Wind: understanding
through communication, while Mercury turns direct at 0 degrees Libra, which will bring forward the information
that brings a new sense of our course correction to heading in the right
direction. It will take Mercury a few day to build momentum, so patience is
important until the messenger gets up to speed and we feel our lives moving in
a forward direction. Also
on the 9th the Moon in Virgo is opposed by Neptune, merges with Mars and
Jupiter, and finds support from Pluto, which
moves from feeling sensitive emotionally but confused regarding the accuracy of
what's being felt, followed by experiencing
irritable moods and critical communications, then later good feelings and generosity towards others, and
finally Pluto bringing out
intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual
relationships.
October 10th is 13
– Akbal
"awk-bol" or Night: movement to the next stage
through contemplating the stars, while Venus squares Saturn which can be a day of having difficulty relating to others,
feeling cool, reserved, isolated... Many will be reevaluating what they are
getting out of their relationships as compared to what they are putting in. If
you feel loneliness or depression on the 10th, just realize that this too shall
pass. Also
on the 10th the Moon in Virgo makes no
angles and is void of course until moving into Libra on the 11th, which does
not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to
assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.
So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Monkey trecena, take
some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a
sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment
through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is
a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the
performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe
the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a
human experience.
