9 Eagle / MEN
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Eagle flies by Intuition. By way of looking to the future from a Divine Perspective the Eagle knows the prize that waits as far as 2 miles away from a speck of a distinctive color of fur. The Eagle applies the Truth that’s Known but barely seen to define the coordinates of the “X” that marks the spot. Then, the Eagle leaps and falls to the Wind that catches its wings and Soars to the end.
The Wind under all our Wings is the Word of the Creator’s intention to uphold the Truth of Our Way. The only way we can fail is to fly away. We are tempted when we don’t keep our eyes on the prize. The Eagle’s shadow is its fear of competition and the doubts that someone else will claim our prize before we get to the end.
From a Higher Perspective every Dream born of the Creator’s Divine Inspiration has our Name written all over it. The Creator knows the Gift we were given to share to uphold the Faith of the Whole.
The Power of an Intention to Look to See is magnified by the nahaul with the Vision to see a glimpse of the Truth from miles away.
Today is my Mayan birthday. I’m inclined to share the Truth from my own experience, so someone else will know they’re not the only one. The “wounded warrior” has the scars to prove they “know how it feels.”
Our Dreams may appear to look the same, though ours will be a Miracle created Our Way, with the help of a Divine Creator that wanted to see Beauty in us like no other.
The Eagle reminds us to focus and never look over our shoulder. Fly beyond all Human fears that arise when we face the Unknown. It’s never “too late.” Leaning into the Truth, we’ll never be steered in the wrong direction. Through Faith we can feel our Hand grasping the prize. The Creator redeems the Time. We don’t care how long it takes “when we finally know” something we never imagined before.
The Eagle shares the Perspective that Looks to See the future. Look beyond the trials of today by the Promise of the Creator’s Divine Design. Apply the Vision to see a Star shining for you in this Time and Place.
The Eagle holds Position 15 (5 x 3). Number 5 is the symbol of Empowerment as the value of a Hand. Today, the Eagle shares a Vision of the Power of Human’s Hand when we choose to Live in Divine Trinity with the Creator’s Plan.
Peak Tone 9 raises the Intention of Patience to see the Truth from the Highest Perspective. We are soaring in closest proximity to the Creator, and given the View of a Direct path from point A to point B. We’ve overcome obstacles that were only shadows. It still takes a Choice for the Time to Think, and Look to See the future from the Highest Perspective.
Number 9 is a symbol of a creation that’s “finished” by the highest investment that can be measured in the “lower place.” Nine is a Divine Number with many Mysteries. It reflects 3 Divine Trinities when expressed as 3+3+3. When 9 is expressed as 3 x 3, the “X” is a symbol of Exponential Value.
In the 9th hour “the work” of the Day is finished. Before the Maya left their fields of corn, they all stood back to see the Big Picture. The meaning of time discerned by the Maya was based on all the ways Human holds in Common by Divine Design. We don’t have to follow. We were given the Sacred Right to Choose. The Mayan Elders shared that there is suffering to bear if we fail to take this final step. When our Ego doesn’t want to see the Truth, the suffering of our shadow carries on.
It’s easy enough to see the Truth of our limitations if we’re willing to know. Our failures and limitations are turned into our Personal Measure of the Grace of Unconditional Love. The Big Picture is an Offering of Love beyond Human’s imagination. When we obey a Divine Call to be of service, we multiply the Power of our Faith. A Dream is a Divine Offering in itself, and the chance to wake up tomorrow with some new bright idea.
Everytime I look to a Day sign it appears as the “most beautiful of all.” I remember in the beginning, as I completed the journal for one day, I’d wonder how tomorrow could even come close to what Spirit shared today. Yet every tomorrow was just the same, even more beautiful than the last. We were given an order to see the Truth that’s the same, yet different for every single one.
In the 260 days of the Tzolk’in round we make 20 climbs, guided to higher ground by every Day sign. And, for every 13 Intentions of Movement, the Creator shares the Vision of each of our 20 ways to manifest the Highest Truth at the end. 13 Sun/AHAU is the Guardian of the Tzolk’in round’s calendar of Human Creation. The Highest Truth at every end is the Promise of Answered Prayers. Tone 12 raises the Intention of Understanding. In the 13th hour we ascend to our Dreams, the Creator’s realm that’s Real.
The Sacred Exchange for Faith is Knowing. In the meantime, fly above the radar.

The female is identified as the one with heavier ankles, stouter nose, and bigger than the average male. (See Bald Eagle Facts and figures; PDF)
Eagles don’t fly with smaller birds. They only fly with Eagles, or they fly alone. There is Power in depending solely on the Creator for everything.
The Love of Giving Back and Paying Forward is more than enough. Even if we only help one, the one could be the Human with the power to save every generation. We are redeemed by every offering of the Truth to the One and Only that we can trust to share our whole story.
The Time is ordered to remember to Look, and you Will See. It’s better NOT to see every last detail by the limits of our imagination. We don’t have to see the end, only the next step we can take.
A random act of kindness is a Divine Cause. No matter “how it looks.” Be the Dog. Don’t take it personal if anyone turns you away. Love finds its mark when another human being knows they’ve been seen and acknowledged.
We Soar when we rely on a Divine Source for everything and claim everything is perfect as it is under the Creator’s wing.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
PS. I failed to see that the Holy Day of Epiphany was Saturday, January 6, 2023, 7 Reed/BEN. Peak Tone 7 is a revelation of “all that is” and “all that is not.” Reed/BEN holds position 13, the symbol of Answered Prayers and represents the Channel opened for Divine Communion when the human flesh is burned away by Spirit.
A Memory about birds, the Summer before the last Great American Eclipse: My first garden in the Pacific Northwest was on the balcony of a small apartment. Potted plants offered undercover for the birds, where I placed small terra cotta dishes of seeds in the nooks and crannies. It was a divine aviary outside my sliding glass window. One day a house wren flew through a crack in the sliding door. It went straight for the nearest window and was caught up in the blinds. It was an easy rescue. For the moments I held it in my hand it lay silent, surrendered to its fate. With labored breathing and a tiny heartbeat in my hand, I couldn’t bear the time it took to set it free. If only we could learn to surrender. I’m not afraid of death, but have my doubts about dying. I’m grateful for the Word that’s written that there is no suffering in the second death. All our human suffering is the death of our Ego. Living things without a choice surrender by instinct. All life deserves to be seen and acknowledged for the Beauty of their Being and the hard road we share as One.
THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE:
I’m grateful for the promise of releasing a load off my heart and mind. My Destiny is the Deer’s mission to carry on for me and you to prove what the Higher One can do.
THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK: THE SERVICE OF LOVE
The Highlights, Peak Energies, and Times of Synchronicity for this trecena are included on the 13-Day Trecena Guide.
The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.
Crocodile/IMIX is the first trecena in the first season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. The guide includes the overview for each trecena and the aspects for every day, so you can discern the Meaning of Time as it applies to your own Time and Place. It’s interesting to calculate the major dates in your life. You might discover they happened on the same Tzolk’in date. The calendar is written within. The Order is what we are naturally inclined to do. When you keep a daily journal to track your thoughts, you’ll see history repeat itself when the same matters are on your mind on the same day of every Tzolk’in round, only on a higher scale. One time around I overcame a fear of driving through Seattle rush-hour traffic. The next time, I was overcoming my fear to make a solo pilgrimage to the Mayan ruins of Ek’ Balam.

9 Eagle/MEN (Eagle/UWO’HATLI) – Day 9 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.
Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.
A GOOD DAY TO: Rise to a higher perspective.
Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions, cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.

Happy Mayan birthday! I love the story of the eagle and often remember to aim to have the, “Eagle eye.”

Thank you dear! much love, in lak’ech, Debra
Dear Sheila – I just uncovered a boatload of your comments in my wordpress spam folder. I don’t know why your link shares were coming through, but none of your direct messages. I used to check there, but there was only piles of machine-generated comments, many with phishing links. Your thoughtful comments would have been such a support to me – as they are now, given you supported me and never received a reply. The Gmail spam was a blessing in disguise that made me look twice for the same thing on WordPress. You are such a kind soul. I’m so grateful you didn’t turn away.You’re the miracle and angel of today. Thank you, SO MUCH, Sheila. – love, in lak’ech, Debra
