TZOLKIN: COUNT OF DAYS
Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Storm (Cauac)
[Day
79 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:
Tempestuous energies, emotional energies, the storm gathers
within.
Separate thinking and emotions from awareness.
Watch the storm wash away the ego, allowing room for the new
consciousness.
The day glyph itself resembles a bunch of grapes
stacked in the shape of a pyramid and was known by the Maya to represent clouds
pregnant with rain. These pyramidal cloud terraces were also known to the Anasazi and other Southwest Indian tribes. Kenneth Johnson,
well known author and astologer, describes this day
sign as “that moment, repeated throughout the world but always powerful, when
the clouds gather, lightning strikes and rain bursts forth – a quintessentially
creative moment.”
At this moment, we have the opportunity of
recognizing our service to a higher cause. In our journey of discovery, Cauac or storm energy may act as the catalyst to assist us
in this venture.
As we journey through each day of this Trecena (1 Cauac, 2 Ahau, 3 Imix, 4 Ik, 5 Akbal, 6 Kan, 7 Chicchan, 8 Cimi, 9 Manik, 10 Lamat, 11 Muluc, 12 Oc, 13 Chuen), utilize the energy of Cauac to gather your energies within, around home or hearth, in order to reflect on
how to offer them in service to a higher cause. Although this day sign can
appear to be a troublesome sign with many challenges, it is also a good sign
for learning life’s lesssons.
