Trecena Notes - 1 Reed

Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Reed

[Day 53 of the 260 Day Tzolkin]

Trecenas are thirteen-day periods in the Tzolkin. Each Trecena starts with the Number 1, but with a different Day Glyph. As a wave of the Thirteen Heavens, the underlying energy is governed by the First Day Glyph of the Trecena and influences all thirteen successive Day Glyphs. Being aware of the predominant energy of the First Day of the Trecena, we can align our intentions with that energy and allow our goals to manifest.

Today (Gregorian date: September 12, 2007), the Trecena starts with 1 Ben (Reed/Corn) ambitious, strong, confident, inner power, authority, crusader, champion, journeying in new directions, energy connector between heaven and earth, sharing connections with others.

Reed energy, like a pillar receiving sunlight energy, serves as the connection between heaven and earth. Thus Reed energy becomes a conduit of light energy, photosynthesis on a spiritual level, our continual link through many levels from the primordial cellular level to the higher vibrational level of multidimensional existence. This photosynthesis of energy brings out the best in us, especially our passion for a concept we believe in. We feel inclined to begin a crusade for change, and many may gravitate to those born on the Day of Reed because of their clear visions of changing the world for the better.

In Mayan prophecy, the god-king Feathered Serpent or Quetzalcoatl would return to humanity in the year 1 Reed. According to legend, as a spiritual leader he advocated the replacement of human sacrifice with flowers, songs and meditation. It was told that he erected a pillar in the city of Tula “Place of Reeds” symbolizing the World Tree as an energy conduit between heaven and earth.

Note that starting this Trecena, we are still feeling the wave energies of the Total Lunar Eclipse and the Partial Solar Eclipse of the previous Trecenas. Reed energy affords the necessary grounding for each of us to partake in the process of clearing and releasing old patterns to make way for these new higher vibrational energies that are arriving.

As we journey through each day of this Trecena (1 Ben, 2 Ix, 3 Men, 4 Cib, 5 Caban, 6 Etznab, 7 Cauac, 8 Ahau, 9 Imix, 10 Ik, 11 Akbal, 12 Kan, 13 Chicchan), utilize the energy of Reed to identify and follow your passions. How would you change the world for the better?
