1 Sun / AHAU
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The trecena of Sun/AHAU is a journey with the Supreme Lord of Creation by our side. Positioned in the South, the time represents a tangible experience in the down-below of the Light that shines for us in all 4 directions. Destiny Kin 40 reflects the 4 directions in the Highest Place, and the zero that was created by a whole investment of our Heart to follow the Deer’s Divine Mission of Love.
There are many synchronicities this time around, as the Sun is positioned to reach it’s Maximum for this, once-every-11-year-cycle of Solar activity. By Cherokee tradition, the Flower/GUN’TSI EK, shines the way to the Full Flower Moon, May 5, 2023. Our Highest Way will be to follow the Light of the Sun as it crosses the sky, as an offering of Vigilant Consciousness to the Truth of the Highest One in the Here and Now. April 28 (04/28) resolves to 04/10, a reflection of the Destiny Kin 40 as 4 above and the 10 below.
Every encounter with Sun/AHAU offers a Revelation of our Divine Identity. We Ascended the Deer’s Mission of Love to realize our Divinity when we are dedicated to the Creator’s Highest Purpose for Creation. AHAU is the Day Sign of Humanity, born on Earth as 4 Sun/AHAU. The Creator shared the Name of the Scion that is intended to become the Personification of Earth’s Brightest Star.
This is Time to employ the Vigilant Eye of the Deer. Watch for the Signs and Synchronicity of Experiences in your own Time and Place. Stand in Faith that there are no coincidences, and that you are Exactly when and where you are supposed to be. The Sun brings all things to Light – the Truth that was hidden in the shadows, and hidden in plain sight. AHAU is the Supreme Lord of Creation, the One Master of Everything that raises a Light for the Creation of our Highest Hopes and Dreams. Remember, our Highest Dreams serve the Highest Ends of the Whole. Considering the whole with every Conscious Choice you make is the means to the end of Right Relationship, As Above, So Below.
We are needed now for the Faith we can share in the down below. The Truth will speak for itself through all the choices we make. Sun/AHAU offers the courage to Be Our Self. Speak the plain Truth or let the Truth speak for itself. Don’t blame anyone for the choices you make. We’re all to blame. You can choose because you are called to make some new choices for your own Peace of Mind and Well-being… or for the simple fact that you are focused on something that requires your full concentration. It’s all your business for now, until it’s finished.
Be in charge of your own Life. Don’t rely on another Human Being. Trust in the Only One. Find your own ride. If there’s no other way, consider whether it’s a place you’re supposed to be. Pray all ways and all days, giving thanks for Divine Guidance. It’s Time for a test of Faith in the Light that will see you through.
A Journal Before, for After…
The Next 13-Days…
Sun/AHAU is the Supreme Creator, the Master of Light and Lord of Time. Every climb begins from the Higher Ground of the Truth we gathered before. The Mayan priest, Deer/MANIK, showed us the way to Know we’re standing on Holy Ground. We’ll always see a Higher Truth when we kneel at an altar. The Light will break for us exactly where we are.
We don’t have to be “better” anymore. We were claimed by the Heart of Sky. No shadow can cast a veil over our Beauty. The Spark within is a piece of the Creator’s Heart and Soul.
Cycle of Darkness (Yellow Day Sign)
We have to climb through the darkness to claim OUR Truth by the Wisdom of Experience. The Eagle taught us to fly by Intuition, leaning in to the Wind, the “truth that is.” The Intention is to see how Truth plays out when we walk in Faith, Hope, and Love.
The 3rd Uinal
1 Sun/AHAU completes the 2nd uinal of the Tzolk’in. The germination of our Seed is completed as we reach the Light. In the 3rd Uinal of 20-days offers a Divine Intention for Movement on Tone 3. 3 Wind/IK is the Word and the Truth that will be the Wind beneath our wings. The 3rd uinal initiates Movement that brings a Divine Dream to Life, and a New Revelation of a Divine Power Above.
Holy Day: 8 Deer/MANIK
On the Peak Tone 8 of “pure spirit” our Transformation begins as a Divine Initiation. 8 Deer/MANIK is the Holy Day observed as a celebration for the Mayan priest. 8 Deer/MANIK is the first Holy Initiation of the Tzolk’in round. A Guiding Light will consecrate the path we’ve chosen. We were all given the Freedom to choose our own way. A Divine Creator consecrates our Path with Holy Water and a Gift of Harmonic Resonance – a Vibration that draws lower vibrations into sympathy. The Deer stands silently in the Truth. There’s no need to defend the Truth that will speak for itself.
Guardian of Ascension
13 Road/EB marks our Ascension. 13 always means the Answer to a prayer. Road/EB is Human, the Aztec call Grass. This is the Haab year of 12 Road/EB, the Time for those who have been trampled upon to rise again. Nothing can stand in our way. Whatever powers tried to stand in our way, will be dealt with by a Hand Above as the Answer to our Prayer.
Every Journey begins from the energy of Inertia. There will be Time enough to Move on a Divine Idea when we reach Tone 3. For today, bask in the warmth and the Light of our Closest and Brightest Star. Watch the Sunrise and give thanks for Today. Watch the Sun set, and let all your doubts and fears carried beyond the horizon for the New Light that will shine tomorrow.
The indigenous tribes saw the Sun as a Way Station, delivering the Light of the Universe. The photons from the Sun are electromagnetic particles of Energy that goes right through us, activating the pineal gland and changing our Human dna. During this cycle of peak Solar activity, claim the Truth of the Light that is offering the way for this Divine Transformation.
AHAU is the Divine Father that will “tell us like it is.” May we try on the shoes, and leave the matter of Right Relationship in the Creator’s hands. May we Honor Mother Earth. The Elders say that she was the Offering of the Creator to be alive and living in a living world. Tread lightly on Mother Earth, and commune with Life all around.
To all my relations, may we make it our mission from the beginning to claim the Creator knows the Highest Way for every Human’s own Time and Place. When you see the Signs of Divine Synchronicity, write them down. It may feel impossible to forget, but that’s the Truth of our Human limitations to Remember.
We can give thanks always for the One who knows every way and everything that’s possible. Look at your feet to remember you’re standing on Holy Ground. When you Dream your Dream, ask the One to share the blessings all around.
in lak’ech, i am another you

I’m grateful for the Divine Relationship with the One and a Divine Provision for every Human limitation.

Description by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU)
1 Sun/AHAU (Cherokee, Flower/GUN’TSI EK)
Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.
Sun/AHAU: Day of the ancestors and connection to their guidance. The divine face of the sun – lord, musician, singer, dancer, and marksman. Suns are artistic, heroic athletes, visionaries with wise judgment who lead and defend the people. So much is expected from themselves and by other people that unfulfilled expectations are a certainty. An accumulation of these disappointments may lead Sun to evade responsibilities, not accept corrections and even build resentment and disdain towards others. Suns should simplify their lives to be able to rise and shine with unconditional love once again.
Cherokee, Flower/GUN’TSI EK: Symbol is the Sun, place of abode of Great Spirit. The Sun creates, nurtures, and is the super communicator, the way station that relays messages and energy from other stars in the galaxy; provides energy for channeling information from the Ancestors; speaking the Living Language of Light, which ignites the consciousness in others. Gold is the color of courage and opportunity of wealth. Creative arts, master craftsman expressing divinity and wisdom through their creations. The face of the flower follows the Sun gathering the fire of creativity, illuminating harmony and balance, resonating peace and continuity within the human spirit. This is the Sign of the Chalice of the Infinite, Caldron of Creation.
