LUNAR OCCULTATION OF MARS: Earlier tonight, Jan. 13th, the Full Moon passed directly in front of Mars. 

Kevin Witman watched the Red Planet vanish from Cochranville, Pennsylvania:

“What an exciting event,” says Witman. “I was surprised how quickly the Moon moves relative to the background stars. It covered Mars so quickly.”

The occultation was widely visible across North America, and many photographers are submitting images. See them all in the Realtime Lunar Occultation Photo Gallery.

SOLAR ACTIVITY IS LOW: It’s probably temporary, but the sun has become quiet this week with only a smattering of C-class solar flares. The quiet is likely to continue. All of the sunspots currently facing Earth have stable magnetic fields unlikely to explode.

Mayan Time

The Seed/KAN trecena raises our consciousness to the “dragon energy” within the Seed, the consciousness  of knowing who we are and everything we need to grow. We’re guided to apply the gift of self reflection to Know Thyself. The Full Wolf Moon in Cancer touches upon domestic matters of home and family. The Lunar Occultation of Marts is an illustration of overcoming the passion of our Human Nature. 4 Deer/MANIK holds an Intention to create stability of Faith by creating our plan to say “no” to negative thoughts and experiences that don’t offer the conditions we need to grow. No one else has the right to tell us who we are and what we can be. A Daily practice helps us remember how we are Seen by the Creator. The lunar occultation of Mars may have helped us put human emotions aside to do what we have to do “to be” who we are.

TRECENA OF SEED/KAN: THE FACTS OF LIFE

My gift for the Tzolk’in round is the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in round. The “Field Guide” is available to download from a link on the 13-day Trecena Guide Page.

Tracking your thoughts during one 13-day trecena, you will see the synchronicity of Time, and an ascension as the answer to a prayer you hold as an Intention of thought from the beginning.

The Seed/KAN trecena is the beginning of Season 3, found in Volume 2. 

NOTE: If you see repeating numbers, SacredScribes is a resource to check the meaning of Angel Numbers.

4 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Seed/KAN trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Free Calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.

Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.

A GOOD DAY TO: Be of Service to Others

Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi: Symbolized by Constellation Galagina, the Stag, known as Taurus, the Bull. It does not include the Pleiades and Hyades clusters which in Cherokee are viewed as separate. To feed, gatherers of food and supplies, they enjoy rituals, ceremonials, feasts, the souls of hospitality, sociability. Freedom versus security issues often inspire leadership and unique solutions.  Combined with artistic and inspiring energies in harmony with lunar cycles, they nourish the clans. Totem-Deer: A priest or shaman, a powerful person in general, to overwhelm an individual with one’s personal power, divination; inclined to become a teacher, healer, guru, civic leader, or politician.  Ability to create harmonic resonance.
