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 Cauac (Storm/Rain) – purification, activation,
dynamic force, healing,
nourishment, compassion, gathering energies within.
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 as evidenced in
their art and architecture. Kenneth
Johnson, well known author and astrologer,
describes this day sign as representing “that moment,
repeated throughout the
world but always powerful, when the clouds gather, lightning strikes and
rain
bursts forth – a quintessentially creative moment.”

Ian Xel Lungold referred to Cauac as “Day
of blessing of rain, giver of all life and lightning, a gift of nitrogen to
Mother Earth and ozone to Father Sky.” Storm can also be seen as a dynamic
energy of change and karmic resolution. So, although this day sign can appear
to be a troublesome sign with many challenges, it is also a good sign for
experiencing life’s lessons and seeing those lessons as blessings. Many of us
may feel overwhelmed by the tumultuous times that we are living in. Focusing on
the energy of Storm and acknowledging what is really important to you (not just
material wealth) grounds your energy and allows for easier assimilation of the
rapid changes that we are experiencing.
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. 6
Kan (Lizard/Seed), the seed awaiting germination; 7 Chicchan (Serpent), life force and Bringer of Rain; 8 Cimi (Transformation/Death), energy of change. The Storm brings to mind the seed
germinating with the catalyst of the life giving rain, flowering and transforming
as life evolves.

Utilize the energy of Storm to gather your energies
within, reflect on the lessons learned, and decide
on a course of action that
aligns with your higher purpose.
