Happy Mayan Solar New Year!

Hey Everyone

Yeah you read that correctly! I’m wishing you Happy New Year again. The Solar New Year happened yesterday and is a very important date.

In Mayan culture, there is not just one calendar. The Macewal Q’ij or Ordinary Days calendar is a SOLAR CALENDAR consisting of 18 months that are each 20 days, totaling 360 days in the year. There is a closing cycle at the end of each solar year. This period is only 5 days long and is called Wayeb’ or Tz’ipin Q’ij.

I’ve just observed the period of Wayeb’. I followed the prescribed guidance for each day and wanted to share this with you as I have found it so beneficial. I’m thinking that if you feel guided, you could use the information below to do a 5-day Wayeb inspired “retreat” at any time of the year. The process is just lovely.

Day 1 : Introspection. Light white candles and invoke the Creator and all Higher Energies into your space. Review the previous year and set an intention to purge and detox for the next 5 days.

Day 2 : Recognition of Self. Light purple or white candles and invoke all the Great energies again. This is the day to forgive and also to ask for forgiveness for things we have said and done & also for the things we have left undone. Remember to also forgive yourself! Ho’oponopono mediations are a great way to do this.

Day 3: Acceptance. After the days of Introspection and Recognition of Self, it’s time to accept all that the previous year has brought and release anything that no longer serves us. I wrote down my thoughts and feelings and then burned them in a small fire ceremony.

Day 4: Definition. The past three days have allowed us to identify who and where we are. Now it is time to plan for the new year. You know how therapeutic I find cleaning and decluttering. I spent the day cleaning my home, throwing out old items and doing a space cleansing with a great big home-made smudge stick.

Day 5 : Emergence. This is the day we reflect on the last couple of days of retreat (yes to my journal!) to slowly emerge from the “cave” as Mark Elmy of The Four Pillars puts it with new reserves.

Generally speaking, it is thought that our fate for the next solar year is decided and sealed during this 5 day Wayeb’ period. The end of this period is known as The Seating of the New Mam.

11 E’ will be the dominant energy for the coming year, with WILDCAT as the energy carrier. I hope to share more with you.

May your Solar year unfold with grace, my friends. I’m sensing wide open paths inviting us to explore that which our hearts need most.

Take it easy,

Cara

Numerology of 2022 – Things are looking up!

Everyone eagerly awaits the new year because it represents a fresh start. Another chance to achieve our goals and pursue new opportunities. 

I am quite interested in numbers, as you know – being a tax accountant and all. So I looked into the Numerology of 2022.  Numerology is a practice based on the idea that numbers 1 to 9 have spiritual and symbolic meaning. Each year has a specific theme/flavor. The way we calculate this number is pretty simple. We simply add up all the digits for the year: 2+0+2+2 = 6. That is how to reach the Universal Number, which is 6 for 2022.  

2021 had a Universal Number of 5 and the energy kept us “off-balance”. For many people, it felt like one step forward, two steps back. If this resonates with you, then you are not alone.

But 6 is a pretty good number for 2022. Even in terms of Mayan astrology, the number 6 is the number of “ultimate stability”.

The repetitions of the number 2 make it quite special as 2’s are recognized as “angel numbers and with three of them in this year’s number, we can count on their help. So, talk to your angels this year. I’ve been having some heart to hearts with my angels over the holidays. They are always on standby to listen and sometimes that’s all we need. 

In Numerology 2 is also known as the number of balance. It is often seen as the symbol of the peacekeeper, signifying all things rooted in unity. So we are encouraged to look at the areas in our life where we lack peace of mind. That’s where our focus and energy should be. It is also symbolic of family, relationships, partnerships, community. So we also need to look at where we are off-balance in this respect and take action. 

I picked a card from my Crystal deck this morning to see if there were any other messages for us as we step into the new year:

My sentiments exactly!

Things are looking up, friends. We are rising from the ashes and with the Universal Number of 6 on our side, I am excited to see what 2022 will bring.

Thank you for all your love during 2021. I’ll be back in the new year with some fresh new sparkle,

Love,

P.S. Now might also be a good time to put those pesky Mercury Retrogrades into your diary. Expect communication breakdowns, travel issues, and technological issues. Be mindful of what is being said (and what you say), to ensure that the right sentiments are being articulated. And, back-up information on computers or electronic devices. We’ve got this!

Lunar Eclipse on May 26th 2021 = BIG Changes

Hello Sunshines

We are just hours away from the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius (May 26, 2021) and we will be able to see the Blood Flower Supermoon in all its glory.

In Western Astrology, Lunar Eclipses are a powerful time. They bring big CHANGE often on a global level. It’s also the first day of a new Trecena within the Mayan count of days. The Trecena of Tijax.

I’m excited. 

The sign of Sagittarius and the nawal of Tijax share a similar energy, that of the Holy Warrior.

If there are some big changes in the air (and boy have I been feeling this for months as far as the planet in general goes), then I say let’s learn to adapt and harness the higher vibrational cosmic energy to support the NEW.

On a more personal level, it’s always a good idea to PIVOT/CHANGE DIRECTION/U-TURN as we grow, evolve and expand our consciousness. This is the time!

It’s an opportunity when we can alter and shift our DESTINY/FATE/LIFE PATH in a major way. Here’s the thing, friends, the change is here. It WILL happen. The question is only how willing you are going to be to flow with that which is aligning to your new vibration?

Will you resist OR will you flow? Will you stay where you are or will go to where you are being directed?

I plan to enjoy some delightful Sativa flower and create an outdoor altar for Lady Luna. I will thank my Guides for their support and flow with the big changes coming my way. My preview looks grand!

Happy Blood Flower Super Moon Gazing,

P.S. Can I make a prediction? Donald Trump’s star is going to keep rising. Do some Googling and find out when he was born. I will give you a hint *you will find the word “eclipse” somewhere in there.
