Trecena Notes - 1 Monkey (Chuen)

Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Seed (Kan)

[Day 144 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.

This Trecena starts with 1 Kan (Seed/Lizard) (Gregorian date: December 12, 2007 ) – Inherent potential, germination, dynamic emergence, sexual maturity, gratitude leading to abundance.

In many ancient cultures, the lizard symbolized growth and fertility. Rock art throughout the Southwest depicts the lizard in this context. To the Maya, this day represented corn and ripeness. The Kan glyph was often found depicted near food offerings suggesting that corn was not only the most important food but also the seed of life. The Quiche Indians referred to this day sign as a “net” or container holding and nurturing abundance.

Another representation of the Trecena is that of a creative wave beginning at 1 and ending at 13, with the numbers 6, 7 and 8 representing the crest of the wave. The crest could be interpreted as a strong influential energy, although the underlying influence on the Trecena would still rest in the beginning. In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Muluc (Water), 7 Oc (Dog), and 8 Chuen (Monkey) which might suggest an emotional release leading to a courageous decision to create a new pattern in your life. With Lizard as the underlying energy, the time is ripe for abundance to manifest in many forms.

As we journey through each day of this Trecena: 1 Kan (Lizard), 2 Chicchan (Serpent), 3 Cimi (Transformation), 4 Manik (Deer), 5 Lamat (Rabbit), 6 Muluc (Water), 7 Oc (Dog), 8 Chuen (Monkey), 9 Eb (Road), 10 Ben (Reed), 11 Ix (Jaguar), 12 Men (Eagle), 13 Cib (Vulture/Owl, utilize the energy of Kan to open up to the universe in gratitude and allow abundance to fill your net.
