This is the "Care and feeding
of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of June 27th
2016 and
1 – Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard in the
Mayan Tzolkin calendar,
with Mercury
entering Cancer, Mars turning
direct, and the Cancer New Moon.
June 27th is 1
– Kan "con"
or Seed or Lizard carries the themes of corn, the net overflowing after the harvest,
planting, ripeness, sexual maturity, abundance to manifest, connecting with
others, the lizard of fertility and growth, germination, children and family. (This has a lot in common with the
western astrology of this period with Mercury entering Cancer, joining the Sun
and Venus, and the New Moon in the sign of home and family.) The seed in the Tzolkin has two primary representations: a huge net
full of corn and the lizard, both are symbols of fertility. This thirteen day
period is excellent for planting new intentions and other seeds.
Since we begin a new Gregorian month during
this trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. July is the seventh
month and with the digits for 2016, when added together we get 16, then we add
1 + 6 to tell us that this is a sixteen/seven month in numerology. Basic
numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we think about that arc
the seven represents a time of digging into events and situations to get a
deeper perspective with stronger focus on values, motives, and ethics. Which are also themes of the sign
Scorpio, which has influence, with Mars turning direct a few days before July,
and in the sign all month and moves into Sagittarius on August 2nd. The
sixteen/seven combination is represented by the Tower and the Chariot in the
Tarot cards, which is about everything that is contrary to our authentic nature
is destroyed or jettisoned through finding our stillness even as we are in
motion. This quote from William Law represents the Tower archetype, "I
feel within me a consuming fire of heavenly love which has burned up in my soul
everything contrary to itself and transformed me inwardly into its own
nature." This offering from Emerson is helpful in understanding the
Chariot, "Motion or change and identity or rest are the first and second
secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written
on the thumbnail" So July represents that the dramatic shift as May
brought us new options, and June brought us further down the path regarding the
situations that lead to a new life, we begin a time of evolution in July, that
leads to the solar and lunar eclipses in during the completion nine month cycle
in September.
Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard, on the 27th all the planets appear to be moving forward
from our vantage point on Earth, except Mars, Saturn, Chiron,
Neptune, and Pluto 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. Mars representing drive and
aggression, began its retrograde in Sagittarius. Mars then backed into Scorpio, the
sign of its traditional rulership on May 27th. While Mars is retrograde in Scorpio the ethics of our actions are
reviewed. Retrograde Mars can cause frustration as our energy to get things
done is retarded, which can lead to irritability and aggression. Retrograde Saturn in Sagittarius delays success until perseverance and
patience are learned. Sagittarius themes are travel, education, adventure,
expanding our horizons, and planning for upcoming experiences. Saturn brings the
details to the grand overview of Sagittarius. Saturn
retrograde is a task master that demands we take responsibility to review our
beliefs while in Sagittarius. Chiron retrograde 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. If you find yourself recalling
painful events or situations between now and when Chiron turns direct November
30th, it is advisable remain conscious while dealing with these uncomfortable
feelings as they will reveal the path to healing and letting go of what no
longer serves a purpose in our upcoming journey.
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. Pluto
the planet of transformation through a death and rebirth cycle, is retrograde,
which is about reviewing the past, and is a time of releasing anything from the
past that is a burden to our new path. Pluto represents death, completion, and
in Capricorn, the breakdown of structures, to bring about transformation.
The big change in the
Seed trecena is Mars
in Scorpio is slowing to a stop as it prepares to turn direct on June 29th. Which
should bring some relief to the frustration we have all encountered over the
past few months.
Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena.
June 27th is 1
– Kan "con" or Seed
or Lizard:
unity experienced through planting seeds and making new
connections in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar,
while Venus trines Neptune. Venus finding support from her higher octave planet
Neptune is pleasant, romantic, creative, but not necessarily good for getting
things done. This is a supportive relationship between the planet of romantic
love and her higher octave, the planet of unconditional love. This might be a
time when we experience universal love through our personal relationships. I
think this will be excellent energy for practices and studies that raise
consciousness like yoga, mysticism, spiritualism, and occult metaphysics as a
way to ground other worldly energy in the here and now. This is also very
creative and imaginative energy, that seeks and appreciates beauty. Exposure to
art, music, or poetry could help renew our consciousness during the pleasant
dreamy fog of this transit. This is excellent for any type of creativity that must
be conceived mentally prior to being brought into physical form. For the more
highly evolved this is experienced as great compassion and tenderness, as this
transit induces selflessness and spiritual love.
This is a good day to indulge in daydreams and fantasies. Also on the 27th the Last Quarter Aries Moon is challenged by the Sun and finds support
from Saturn, which changes from encountering challenges to our daily routines,
to later having a sober realistic view of life.
The
28th is
2 – Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: duality
experienced through being flexible, with the Moon in
Aries challenged by Venus and Pluto, and merging with Uranus, which moves from pleasant energy for being with the others we want to know
better, to 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.
June 29th is 3 – Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: taking action
through releasing what no longer serves us,
while Mercury enters Cancer. While in the sign
of the Crab, people will be communicating and thinking more about home and
family from the perspective of security. Also on the 29th Mars turns direct and as it builds momentum over the next week, we start to
feel our fiery physical energy return. This shifts our actions in new
directions. Mars will build up speed to exit its traditional ruling sign of
Scorpio and enter Sagittarius in August. Also on
the 29th Mercury square Chiron could have people talking about their wounds or
healing. This can feel uncomfortable as people seem more thin skinned and
vulnerable, but it also facilitates more emotional self-awareness and wisdom
for people who can stay present with the past wounds that have become more
conscious during this sensitive transit. Also on the 29th the Moon harmonizes
with Mercury and the Sun which shifts from people feeling chatty and
having numerous conversations, to later having feelings of inner and outer equanimity.
The 30th
is 4 – man-eek" : stability through being of service to others, as Venus
is opposed by Pluto which will intensify relationships. When Venus
dances with Pluto, it is not uncommon to hear from our past lovers or pine for
someone from your past, usually it's best to leave these old partners where
they are, but some will not be able to resist digging up the dead to be sure of
the relationships' demise. Overall this intensifies experiences in our love
lives. People will seek emotional experiences that transport them out of the
ordinary, which could also lead to indiscretions that lead to problems later
on. A new relationship begun under this transit may have a compulsive nature to
it. Watch out for people wanting to exert power over others through
manipulating, jealousy, guilt or another negative emotion. Some will feel
irresistibly attracted to someone who is not good for them. Relationships may
struggle due to hidden resentments and tensions rising to the surface, just
being conscious of that and choosing your words carefully, so they are not
interpreted as destructive, can provide an opportunity for growth in
partnership.
Also on the 30th the Taurus Moon harmonizes with Neptune and Venus, finds
support from Pluto and Jupiter, and is opposed by Mars, which changes from having
greater sensitivity to
others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open, to wanting to be with friends and the people we
love,
later feeling on a deeper more
intense level under the influence of Pluto, followed by people having a pleasant sense of well-being, and finally opposed by Mars which influences people to be
more excitable and irritable which can cause problems in our personal lives.
July 1st is 5 – Lamat
"la-maught" or Star or Rabbit or Venus: empowerment
through being grateful for abundant
relationships, while Venus sextiles Jupiter which brings
feelings of contentment and benevolence. A very nice sense of being at peace
with the world. Friendships benefit from generosity with activities engaged in
at this time, becoming a fair exchange over time. This is also favorable for
financial dealings, particularly foreign investments, or agreements related to
medicine or legal matters. Friendships or romantic relationships that begin
under this influence should be mutually beneficial. Also this is a very good
day for getting together with friends and enjoying this lighthearted transit
particularly engaging in some form of rest and recreation, and leaving the more
serious or routine business for another day. Also on the 1st 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.
The 2nd is 6 – Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: being in
the flow through appreciating creation, with the
Gemini Moon opposed by Saturn, challenged by Neptune and Jupiter, and
stimulated by Uranus which moves from feeling lonely
and isolated, to later daydreams and fantasies
feeling more important than reality, followed by benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment,
and finally pleasant yet restless energy that desires
emotional excitement.
July 3rd is 7 Oc "awk"
or Dog: reflection through enjoying family and friends, while the Sun trines Neptune which with Neptune's support of the Sun we are more
idealistic and understand a more spiritual level of reality. This increases our
sensitivity to the more subtler aspects of the world around us. This is good
for spending time alone to engage in activities like meditation, yoga, working
of art, music or any creative project. To explore the more spiritual levels of
reality from an emotional and intellectual perspective. This great for studying
metaphysical or spiritual subjects and looking at your life to consider how you
are doing in meeting your needs spiritually and materially. Idealistic
romanticism may be a factor in our relationships today. This transit increases
sensitivity to the subtler aspects of reality, with people experiencing a flash
of ESP or other types of mystical experiences. Also on the 3rd the Moon in Gemini makes no angles and is void of
course until moving into Cancer, 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 4th is 8 – Chuen "shoe-in"
or Monkey: balance through creating something new, while we have the Cancer New Moon. New moons
are times of new beginnings and in Cancer is about shifting and changing of our
families, and home life to bring more security. 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 12 degrees 54 minutes, almost 13
degrees Cancer to consider what area of your life is being activated by this
new moon. For me that would be my first house of self, the body, style,
dispositions, mannerisms, and outward behavior, so I would set an intension
related to using this energy. The moon merges with Mercury, the Sun, and Venus,
finds support from Neptune, is opposed by Pluto, and harmonizes with Jupiter.
The New Moon
conjunct Mercury brings positive energy for integrating
our thoughts and moods, and
merging with Venus feels cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and
socialize. The Moon finding
support from Neptune brings out our innermost subconscious fantasies and
daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work. Opposed by Pluto brings some of our deepest
emotions rising to the surface to be examined and released in a way that leads
to empowerment, and with this lunation sextile Jupiter, the day brings good
feelings and congenial social interactions.
July
5th is 9
– Eb "eb" or Road: patience experienced through serving your community, with Mercury
trine Neptune in the water signs of Cancer, and
Pisces. Mercury finding support from Neptune is very imaginative and creative,
also more sensitive to the world around us. This favors art, music, poetry,
romantic literature, and daydreams. We'll probably hear more people talking
about their fantasies and hopes for the future, as people are less interested
in discussing practical matters. A great day for studying mystical and
spiritual subjects, as we can transcend rational thought and just know through
our intuition.
Also on the 5th the Moon in Cancer finds support from Mars, and is challenged
by Uranus which shifts from feeling
a little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a
positive manner,
to later folks acting hasty and
jumping to conclusions that may not be correct.
The 6th is 10 – Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: manifestation through maintaining the home, while Venus
trines Mars,
which can have a variety of effects, most of
which are favorable. This brings the energy to be assertive without offending
others as folks appreciate directness. This brings a nice balance between your
need to be an individual with personal wants and needs, and your need to relate
with others. Whenever there is contact between Venus and Mars there is the
likelihood of an aroused sex drive. People are more likely to be charming and
agreeable. It brings the concern that a partner is enjoying the relationship as
well, which fulfills an important requirement of a successful sexual
connection. A relationship begun at this time has a good chance of lasting, but
even if it is a short term liaison, they are usually satisfying and without
bitterness at the time of parting. Also on the 6th the Sun merges with Mercury which stimulates our social interactions and conversations,
particularly with people who are part of our new direction, and in Cancer this
could be related to home and/or family. Also illumination comes to some of the
dark areas of our minds which brings forward information that was previously in
the shadows. This alignment emphasize an increase in conversations, although
folks are more inclined to talk than listen. Being a conjunction, this brings
the initiative to start something new, including starting a new creative
venture, as Mercury rules commerce and the exchange of ideas. This also brings
a sharpness to the thinking process and is a good time to make plans for the
future.
Also on the 6th the Leo Moon finds support from Saturn which brings feelings of having a sober and realistic
view of life.
July
7th is 11 – Ix "eesh" or Jaguar:
resolution through
enjoying nature, when Mercury is opposed by Pluto which wants to get to the
bottom of any problems in relationships or with people we encounter. Expect
intellectual conflicts where folks try to convince each other of their personal
"truth". These conflicts can become subversive in their attempts to
persuade and may result in a smoldering conflict, which plays out behind the
scenes. Power plays are a strong possibility under this influence. Propaganda
and indoctrination are themes we will likely see escalate for a day or so. The best
use of this transit is to investigate hidden and secret subjects, whether they
are coming from our environment or aspects of ourselves. Research and puzzle
solving benefit from this energetic, just be careful of becoming obsessed with
one possibility to the detriment of everything else. With Mercury being opposed
by Pluto, I'd expect hidden and subconscious information to come to light. Also on the 7th Venus squares Uranus, all the transits on the 7th activate the separating Uranus
Pluto square for a few days before and after the 7th, and has folks seeking
excitement in their love relationships, this can include picking a fight to
experience a different aspect of interacting. The beginning of July is intense
as we have the planet of love, but also money in Cancer being challenged by the
"Winds of Change". Because Uranus is involved this is unpredictable
but also can be drastic with Pluto in concert. Themes of this energetic might
be an unexpected stock market drop, a change in spending due to scarcity, or a
currency change in oil markets where the dollar had been the preferred
measurement of value. On a personal level folks are looking for something
exciting, out of the ordinary, and so if your relationship has become dull or
predictable this is the time to inject it with a new experience, rather than
have it erupt into a fight about "how we never do anything
interesting..." Basically the less flexibility in a relationship during
this transit, the more damaging this alignment is likely to be. Also on the 7th the Sun opposes Pluto
colors the day's energy which can cause rather intense encounters with others
or circumstances that expose something that was hidden or that we chose to
ignore, for the purpose of transforming an old worn out pattern that can no
longer serve us. This indicates power struggles with others, particularly
people in authority. This day really has the hallmark of relationship
difficulties that could possibly lead to breakups. You may want to keep that in
mind rather than trying to repair the damage of today's words or deeds later on
down the road. Overall we are talking about transformation on some level as a
shift is required away from doing things the same old way. The Cancer Capricorn
axis will bring tension related to balancing home and family with career and
responsibilities in the outer world. This shift requires a major transformation
where outer power reflects inner power, where transparency and integrity are
key. Also
on the 7th the Moon in Leo is challenged by Mars and supported by Uranus which
changes from people feeling irritable
which could lead to needless disputes, to later brings a desire for emotional excitement to engage in activities
outside our daily routine.
The 8th is 12
– Men "men"
or Eagle: understanding through seeing from a higher perspective, while Mercury sextiles Jupiter, which brings our attention
to the larger issues in life. Many will find their minds wandering to thoughts
about the future, as our hopes and wishes are more important under this
influence. This is also good for thinking about the overall patterns in our
lives. This is optimistic and brings a positive attitude. This is also good for
business negotiations, contract discussions, and commercial transactions, as
well as any dealing with the law. Travel also benefits so this would be good
energy to start a trip, or perhaps research some far off place you wish to
visit. Religious and philosophical subjects seem more attractive for
investigation at this time. Also on the 8th Venus trine Chiron will help heal the old wounds that we've
become aware of from the interactions of the planet of love and money. This
transit facilitates healing our relationships with others and our sense of self
worth. Also
on the 8th the Virgo Moon is challenged by Saturn and opposed by Neptune which
moves from people feeling lonely or
isolated,
to later feeling sensitive
emotionally but confused regarding the accuracy of what's being felt.
July 9th is 13
– Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: movement to the
next stage through introspection, meditation and forgiveness,
while the Moon in Virgo is supported by Pluto, in
harmony with the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Venus, and merges with Jupiter. Which
brings a busy day of emotional stimulation that begins with Pluto bringing out
intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual
relationships, then shifts to feeling balance between our inner and outer
worlds, followed by merging with Jupiter bringing good feelings and generosity
towards others, then lots of chatting with friends, neighbors, coworkers when
the Moon interacts with Mercury, later having the desire to work independently
from others, and finally harmonizes with Venus which is about having pleasant
energy to be with friends and loved ones.
So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Seed 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.
