The Last Quarter Moon – The Moon wanes, shrinking from 99.9% to 50.1% illumination on its left side.
The Last Quarter Moon: It’s Power and Influence
The Full Moon raises the tides of our emotions about the challenge to manifest our Intention for creation. By the Last Quarter we make our way beyond the “gravity” of our circumstances. Returned to a state of equillibrium, thoughts are turned back to our faculties of discernment. By the time we reach the New Moon, we can resolve a way forward and the Intention for our New Beginning. September 6, 2023 marked the Last Quarter of a Blue Super Moon. The Super “Moon in perigee” reflected its closest orbit to Earth for 2023 stirred our passions for a Major Life Change. From the Last Quarter to the New Moon is a powerful time for changing an old habits and leaving behind what no longer serves our Intention. We are empowered by the Last Quarter Moon to reflect on the past to clearly see a new direction. This is time for setting a new course to the future, aiming at a higher end.

3 Road / EB
Greetings Beloved Kin,
Tone 3 raises the Intention of Movement. We bring a new vibration to life by the sound of our first steps of Intention toward a New Dream, or through the spoken word that disseminates the ideas of our Intention. 3 Road/EB sets a new course on the Road to our Divine Destiny.
The glyph for Road/EB (aka Human) illustrates the Road on Human’s head. On either side are the major milestones along the way. The Road to Human’s Destiny is the Journey through Time. In the end, we’re defined by all the Choices we make. EB reflects the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. Powers on a Planetary Scale influence us all the same.
We have all been stirred up by the same Blue Super Moon that raised our doubts about the future. There’s a Time for every purpose. It can take a tide of Human emotions to clearly see it’s Time for change. We’re prepared for the tides to turn, and we clearly Feel the need in every Time and Place.
This is a day to honor Humanity and the same “hard road” we share just the same. We’re all in this together, and it’s been the same down through the ages. EB is a symbol of the Tzolk’in, the Sacred Road that is a Divine Order for Time from every beginning to every end. Time was part of the Creation that moves us through the hours of every day, every season, and every phase of the Moon. Today’s purpose falls in synchronicity with the Last Quarter Moon.
Our Divine Healing can happen when the Creator shines a Light on our Way and we move beyond the influence of our Human Emotions to Know there’s always a way. We don’t have to KNOW what it is, when we hold Faith in a Divine Plan. We were given the Signs to see the Truth.
EB holds the Element of Earth and Truth we learn from an experience of physicality. Science proves the tangible effects of the Moon and the Tides. We are made of Earth and Water. Truth stands on every scale, As Above, So Below. (Have you been carrying some extra water weight? That can happen when the tides are raised in our Human body. That’s a tangible effect that influences our sense of well-being and our emotions.) We are One with the Universe and we’re all effected the Same, depending on the course of action we take.
We can take to heart the Signs we were given to see the Divine Flow of a Divine Order through the Seasons of every year, and by the Hours of Light in every day. So it was written within.
The Cherokee Day sign is the Rattlesnake Tooth, an implement of Spiritual Healing used by the shaman to break the skin where the “medicine” would be applied. It left a mark for the beginning of a Healing that we could remember.
The Choices we make from a clear discernment of the Truth will always lead us to a Divine Healing when we overcome the challenges we faced in the past. Road/EB is a crossroad and a turning point to a brand new life. Our Divine Medicine is an Offering of Light and Truth from the One Above. It only takes a Choice to Look and See the Truth of ways and circumstances that do not serve our Highest Intention of Love in Harmony and Equity with the Whole.
On days guided by EB we can be presented with the Truth on a planetary scale… witnessing the Same Truth as One. That doesn’t mean we will all “see it the same way.” Remember what they say about opinions. The opinions that matter are the ones aligned with the Golden Rule. This is the Haab Year 12 Road/EB by Northern count. Every day guided by Road/EB is a Sign 12:12:12 (since Eb is a sign of Human, 12 is a sign of Human, and Eb holds Position 12). As it is written on the Aztec calendar, EB is known as The Grass (Malinalli), and this is the Year for humans who have been trampled upon and stepped on to Rise Again. The Aztec call this a good time for the oppressed and a not so good time for the oppressors.
The odds are in our favor in the 9th month, and the 9th uinal, where we are Guided by Divine Agency to ALL clearly see that SOMETHING has to change for us to turn around to a Life of Love and Happiness that we thought we knew before. We are being guided to see the disparity of the Truth from one Time and Place to another. We’ve never seen such a divide between the “haves” and the “have nots.” The Earth/CABAN trecena raised our Consciousness of our Common Dream of Liberty and the Freedom to be, and the means to Live in Peace and Harmony.
The question that we’ve yet to answer is “does anyone care?” Are we loving our neighbor as much as we Love our Self? The Seeds we’ve sewn will be multiplied for us to see by the Light of the Harvest Moon. And the Light of Truth will descend as it always does on the Fall Equinox along the stairs of the calendar pyramid, El Castillo. It’s already too late to plant any new seeds for this harvest. Though, it’s never too late to choose the New Seeds for the next Spring. Miracles only happen “overnight” for those who have “worked the soil” and tended to the Seed of the Creator’s Dream through the Seasons it takes to learn a new way.
Road/EB resides in the South, the “down-below” direction where we learn the Truth through our Relationships with one another and with the Natural World. Have we learned the lessons of Right Relationship? Have we loved one another? Have we loved Mother Earth? As a whole, have we seen and acknowledged the blessings of the Creator’s most beautiful offerings?
We’re all part of the problems of the world. If nothing else, we allowed everything to be the way it is by “going along” or by turning a blind eye to something we could do on behalf of the whole. Road/EB and the Last Quarter Moon can share the Truth we learned by our own experience, along with a Sign from Above that Time will be ordered by Powers Greater than our Self. We’ve all heard the Story of a Savior who found a Divine Way to heal the whole by Giviing Back, and Paying Forward an Offering of Compassion and Forgiveness.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean acceptance. Someone has to choose another way to move beyond our failures. The Higher Choices we make will leave the trail for others to know and follow, when they see with their own eyes that the Creator’s Words were True. We’ll never rise above that same hard road until we take a step in a new direction. This trecena is guided by the Dog’s way. We don’t need to hold a grudge when we’re free to turn to an opportunity to Love that’s here and now. If Love was every the Truth, Time will bring it back around again.
The rainbow is the symbol for the Rattlesnake Tooth, and the Creator’s Promise for the whole.
This is a day to consecrate a New Road. May we “bless our self” and the Time and Place we call Home as where the changes will begin. The Power of our Prayers is multiplied when we engage all our tangible Human Senses into the experience. May we plant our feet on Mother Earth and receive her healing and may we call upon the Heart of Sky to know Our Way to Give Back and Pay Forward our blessings for the whole.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

THE TRECENA OF DOG/OC: A Creation of Love
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.
NEW SEASON – VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
NOTE: You can also look at dates from a different direction. What is the Destiny Kin number of your day sign’s 3rd tone? You may have overlooked a life-changing day. Use the Kin Calculator offered on the Daykeeper’s Resource Page for a date six years before or after. If you are just starting to count the days and don’t have a journal from the last round, when something major happens in your life you can look to see if there was a major event on that same date before. You can also look for Signs in the “distance of time” – the number of days between one day and another, from the Time and Date Calculator linked on the resources page. Example – 33 days is a symbol of a day that you actualize the Truth from the beginning date.
3 Road / EB (Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth / KANU’GA) – Day 3 of 13 of the 1 Dog/OC trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 3: Movement. Three is basic movement and communication, which begins as a vibration. Three energy is very eloquent in all types of self-expression. Communication is how Three establishes a point of agreement between any point “A” and any point “B”. Three persons are rythmic to the core and are often restless, as motion is their nature. By working closely with the energy of Three, any person becomes more able to predict motions of all kinds.
Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become care takers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Sometimes referred to as the sign of Grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.
A GOOD DAY TO: Do some community service.
Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth: Symbol is Rainbow, a delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. The Natal day sign of Medicine, the Shaman, the Priest, the Healer, and the Sorcerer; Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom.
