Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Ahau (Sun)

Day 40 of the 260 Day Tzolkin

Gregorian Date: March 22, 2011

 

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.

 

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. Carlos Barrios in Book of Destiny states that this day sign has the power
to overcome negative energy. It “governs lunar and solar eclipses brings material and spiritual
certainty. It is the realization of the solar body. It is transformation, mutation, and acuity. It is the
warrior, the companion, the traveler, the dancer, and the artist, maker of wonders. It is the
soothsayer – the diviner and vanquisher of spells – the lord of flowers, master and heir to the
power of light.” 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 grounding 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:

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 miracles right now.  Collectively, we can send this love and light energy wherever it is
needed on Mother Earth. Que Milagro!
