Tzolkin Trecena Notes


Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Ahau (Sun/Light Lord)
Day 40 of the 260 Day Tzolkin
Gregorian Date: May 10, 2013
Year Bearer: 1 Ik
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.” The energies of the Tzolkin are helping us to move out of
Chronos time (mechanized time of the Gregorian calendar and the 12:60
clock) and into Karios time – natural time, 13:20, the cyclic flow of time
itself. * The Maya pegged the date of December 21, 2012 as the date for
this transition to take place, so we are NOW experiencing this transition
into the Golden Age.
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.

Utilize the energy of Light Lord/Sun 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!
