Living Maya Time – The Trecena of Tz’ikin

Something I have come to understand about this calendar, the Chol Q’ij, is that the wisdom of it is equally powerful when looking backwards as looking forwards. It’s a wheel. There is no ending or beginning. Just another cycle.

The Trecena of Tz’ikin began thirteen days ago on April 12th. I had intended to write on the 12th, but work beckoned and I felt energized to keep my nose down all the way through to the 15th. It was a tax season finish like none that I had experienced since opening my practice twenty years ago. Every client that brought their paperwork in before the 15th got their returns prepared on time! A new vision emerged. The seeds of a partnership were planted.

Tz’ikin, the bird or eagle, is the visionary of the calendar. It is also associated with prosperity and rules business and money. An ideal trecena to complete my busy season and then take time to REST and REFLECT. Rest began with a profoundly sublime and restorative day at the Spa in Pebble Beach. A Walk in the Forest is what I offered myself and it was absolutely delightful. Reflection followed with a session with my friend and an Elder of the Esselen tribe, Cari Herthel. The theme of RENEWAL emerged and was explored. Celebrations followed for family birthdays and Easter Sunday. Lots of time spent outdoors, followed by two days of deep cleaning my home. I am now ready to emerge back into the world.

Sometimes the energy of a Trecena is best experienced first and contemplated afterwards. Tz’ikin views the vision from above, offering us all possibilities. My son is the first employee that I have ever had. He is teaching me as much as I am teaching him. So much so that I can already see a partnership in another few years. A new possibility for my retirement. He enjoys the work and is really good at it. Imagine that.

Tomorrow brings us the theme of planting. Ideas delivered from the Sky Messenger Tz’ikin, can be sowed during the Trecena of Q’anil. It will be an opportunity to ripen your projects. My slower season brings a different type of work and more time to teach my future partner the business side of my business. I am delighted that I will have the generous and favorable energy of 1 Q’anil supporting me tomorrow when I return to the office. Both 1 and Q’anil are associated with the seed. The new beginning for the next harvest.

Happy Planting,

Cara

Rest is not a BAD Word

Hi Everyone

I have a story to share with you.

I recently completed another marathon round of tax submissions and I was exhausted but I kept pushing myself. Do more! Be more! Give more!

It was the evening of the new moon and usually the messages, Downloads and guidance from my Higher Self and my Guides are loud and clear but this time nothing was coming through. My head was just too busy! I tried to calm it down with a little meditation and journalling but that did not work either. …There’s still so much I need to do! What about my book PR? What does the Mayan Astrology say about today? Oh, when will I write another blog? What will it be about? Time is running out!…

I was so frustrated with all the noise in my head that I threw my hands in the air, slammed the door and started to walk! After about 15 minutes I was too exhausted to continue. I did not want to quit but I had no choice as I had not taken any shoes or water with me. So, I sat down and admitted defeat. And that’s when the magic happened!

A deer appeared in front of me and immediately all my racing thoughts stopped. Shhh. I felt something say. Or did I hear it? At first I stood completely still and then gently lowered myself to the ground, keeping my eyes on the deer all the time. I felt my breathing begin to slow down and my jaw soften.

I walked back home with the biggest smile on my face

I learned 3 very important LIFE LESSONS:

  1. Rest and water are basics;
  2. The messages that we seek will find us when we listen;
  3. Sometimes the most special “spiritual” encounters happen when we throw our hands in the air and walk away from the noise.

I plan to do more of that.

P.S. We are now in Scorpio season and there are two Eclipses coming up, i.e. Friday, November 19: Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and Saturday, December 4: Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius. I hope to write another blog about this during November sometime but I am focused on my mission to REST and LISTEN. So I hope to write again soon but if I don’t…just know that I am barefoot in the woods somewhere on a mission Shhh. Maybe you want to join me?
