Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Ahau (Sun/Light Lord)
Day
40 of the 260 Day Tzolkin
Gregorian
Date:
Year
Bearer: 11 Manik
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 Ahau (Sun/Flower/Light Lord) – enlightenment,
remembrance, honor of ancestors, ascension, unconditional love, awareness of
co-creation, awareness of new possibilities
and new beginnings, awakening to
miracles.
Sun or Light energy represents source energy that
compels us to seek our spiritual path. The dreamer
or visionary in each of us
who follows his heart while remaining grounded (by earthly ancestral
wisdom)
will complete the spiritual journey.
Sun energy gives us the power to co-create whatever
we put our attention to. This energy of light resonates with new concepts. Each Tzolkin round consists of seven days and six nights
(Thirteen
Heavens or Uinals). On 2 Imix, the Tzolkin moves into the
second day, so 1 Ahau is a new
beginning, opening up
to the next level, the germination phase of Heaven Three.

The Maya also called this day sign the Day of the
Ancestors or Lords, which was considered to be
the most sacred of all days. According
to Kenneth Johnson in Jaguar Wisdom:
“This is the day sign
of all things lordly and complete, including the world of
the Ancestors, that lies behind our present moment, linking us with times past
in an endless revolution of days…it is clear that it represents
that ecstatic
process that connects us to the collective mind and to the cyclic flow of time
itself.”
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. Light energy
underlies (or influences) the days of 6 Chicchan,
Serpent or Kundalini
energy rising up the spine
connecting us with earthly and heavenly energies; 7 Cimi,
Transformational energy, death, rebirth and ancestral wisdom; and 8 Manik, Deer or Healing
Hand energy, representing the groundedness of the 4-legged animals and the rituals which
connect
us to earth. This pattern of
light energy is available now and offers each of us the opportunity to
heal our
spirit and heal Mother Earth.
As we journey through each day of this Trecena:
1 Ahau –
2 Imix – July 6 (3rd Unial, 2nd Day)
3 Ik – July 7
4 Akbal – July 8

6 Chicchan – July 10

11 Oc – July 15
12 Chuen – July 16

Utilize the energy of Light Lord to look at your
personal patterns and determine what is important
to your spiritual path in
this moment. Pray and give thanks to the Ancestors for guidance as we are
in
need of a miracle right now. Collectively, we can send this love and light energy where ever it
is
needed on Mother Earth.
