Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Dog (Oc)
Day 170 of the 260 Day Tzolkin
February 25, 2010
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 Oc (Dog) – Loyal, Valiant Protector, Warm-hearted, Generous,
Faithful Companion through Darkness.
The Classic Mayan hieroglyph for Oc is the face of a dog, and in Mayan mythology, Dog
carries a torch and guides humans on their journey through the dark Underworld. Dog
symbolizes guidance, loyalty, companionship, consistency, and commitment. The Yucatec
Mayan name for this sign literally means door, portal or gateway and symbolizes the
journey we all make from one world to the other, not only in death but also as we
transform inwardly and rebirth ourselves. Thus Dog, as our Underworld companion and
guide through darkness, represents faith and loyalty surviving even after death.
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. In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Men
(Eagle), 7 Cib (Vulture/Owl) and 8 Caban (Earth). Eagle allows us to view a higher
perspective of the transformation and rebalancing taking place between earth and
humanity as we learn to live in harmony and peace during this year of 11 Manik/Deer.
With Oc illuminating the pathway, we can rest assured that we are not alone and have
nothing to fear on our journey.
As we journey through each day of this Trecena:
1 Oc (Dog) – 2/25/10
2 Chuen (Monkey) – 2/26/10
3 Eb (Road) – 2/27/10
4 Ben (Reed) – 2/28/10
5 Ix (Jaguar) – 3/1/10
6 Men (Eagle) – 3/2/10
7 Cib (Vulture/Owl) – 3/3/10
8 Caban (Earth) – 3/4/10
9 Etznab (Flint) – 3/5/10
10 Cauac (Storm) – 3/6/10
11 Ahau (Sun) – 3/7/10
12 Imix (Crocodile) – 3/8/10 (Begins new Uinal Day 6 of this Tzolkin)
13 Ik (Wind) – 3/9/10
Utilize the courageous energy of Oc to illuminate faith and hope even in the darkest of
times.
